We all know that talent is not enough to become wealthy, and the support from the fans is the ultimate reason why stars can live lavish lifestyles and inherit their millions to their descendants.
Although we might never see celebrities checking and savings, Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth work alongside experts to calculate how much is their net worth by using different factors based on sales, profits, assets, market value, and employees.
