With an income of 99.171.237 American dollars in 2008, Céline Dion occupies the fifth rank of the artists who earn the most money in the world of the music, according to the Billboard magazine. The Forbes magazine evaluated its net amount to 250 million American dollars in 2007.

 

During her five years at the Caesars Palace, Céline Dion gave 717 spectacles in front of three million spectators and piled up 400 million American dollars.

 

In 2005-2006, with the casino of the Caesars Palace, Rene Angélil gained with the poker 259.079 dollars… and lost 230.300 dollars. These figures, usually kept secret, were revealed to make conceal the rumours according to which it would have played a dollar million there per week.

 

In April 2007, Céline Dion crossed the course of the 200 million sold albums.

 

The Dion-Angélil couple undertook restorations of 15 million dollars to the club of golf the Mirage, in Terrebonne, of which he is owner since 1997. A theatre of 650 places will be inaugurated during the next season of golf.

 

In 2000, the Dion-Angélil couple continued the National Enquirer newspaper, which had written that Céline Dion awaited twins. In addition to one written retractation of the newspaper, it obtained 20 million American dollars, which it gave to American Cancer Society.

 

One estimates the value of the wax statue of Rene Angélil, with the Grévin Museum of Paris, 47.000 dollars.

 

Céline Dion distributed a million American dollars to the victims of the hurricane Katrina, it helped to collect more than one million dollars for the victims of the tsunami of 2004 and made a gift of 100.000 dollars after the earthquake in the province of Sichuan, in May 2008.

[René 2]

interesting, thanks

[CelineDionFan710]

this is very very interesting

[Bellamy]

I think Celine got more than 99.171.237 American dollars in 2008.

[Timster]

Why do they keep saying her total 250million? It must be more than that!

[Scorpian]

thx for the infos

[Miha]

Why do they keep saying her total 250million? It must be more than that!

For sure it's more than that!

BUT hey it's not all about money...as long as she has happiness and stays down to earth!

[takeachance]

Wow, its beyond imagineable

Maybe that is just cash on hand-not sure but she was #5 in richest women in enterainment on E!

[imaswede78]

It almost gets to the point when you see those figures in print a person forgets that's actual money. I mean, I feel uber rich having a few thousand dollars in the bank! Seriously, there must come a time when a person has so much money those figures don't faze them anymore. Celine certainly earned every penny but still!

[MJaque]

We call it "Taking chances, baby!!!" I think Celine deserves to get whatever she has now...first she is Celine whom we all adore, and second, she has talent, folks!. she worked hard, she has voice..(don't want to compare..you all know it better)...

 

 

P.S. Don't count other people's money during a bad economy!

[Bralo20]

For sure it's more than that!

BUT hey it's not all about money...as long as she has happiness and stays down to earth!

 

It will certainly be more then 250 million USD but that figure will probably their personal nett value but to know her real value you'll have to add the values of the stocks they hold of the different companies they own or founded... And like every good artist they will probably have also bankaccounts in foreign countries to minimize taxes. Like they will probably have companies in every continent to minimize taxes when she does performances througout the world...

[Bellamy]

And don't forget the money Rene gets as Manager and boss of Feelings, CDA.

[SensationalCeline]

This is some very interesting stuff. I didn't know that about her and the part about her being the 5th highest paid in the music industry.......WOW!!! I personally thought that she was higher than that but her lucky number is 5 so I guess that that is a good thing.

[Scramasboy]

On E they said she was worth 250 million, but that was back in '07 or EARLY '08 [i believe it was '07] And since then she has sold more albums, and sold more parfum, which I read somewhere was the second best selling celebrity parfum.. NO third? Behind Chanel #5, and Wite Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.. and duh, her Taking Chances World Tour! With so many sold out, or close to sold out shows, she had to have made close to $100 million dollars in 'pocketed' profits even having to pay the technicians.

 

I wouldn't doubt she was closer worth $500 million these days. Perhaps Forbes.com will tell on the cash queens of '09 or the forbes power list.

[Belle Céline]

wow that is alot of money to make and be worth!!

[Alex_Incognito]

And don't forget René-Charles' lemonade stands on their lawn...

some of this is REALLY OLD news

[sazzlepop123]

This kind of money I can't even fathom!!!

 

What an achievement, and to still remain so grounded is quite something

[smash]

When they talk about 250 million dollars in 2007, that is what she earned in THAT year alone.

 

I notice on our E entertainment channel, when they go through the top 10 or 20 top richest women, and they mention however many million dollars, they always say for the year so and so.

 

So Celine has got many, many more millions. She deserves the lot. Lately, i think she is at no. 3.
