Céline on Stayin' Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees

Her fortune is a number that NOBODY knows, and isn't our business. But I don't think you have to worry about Céline or her children sleeping in drawers or going without a meal. She is easily worth about 700 MILLION USD if you are curious tho lol

Forbes reveals that info every year... -_-

I think she is going to spend the all fortune buying this dresses and jewels... So expensive. To use only one hour.... Her fortune was 630+millions (Forbes 2014) and now are 340+ millions (Forbes 2017)

i don't know where they take their numbers, she surely didn't spent 300 million in Jewelry and dress.... i would think Celine herself is supposed to be richer now.

Forbes numbers are revenue based. It's not what she has in her bank account.

The Forbes number is just a percentage. Celine is close to 1 BILLION USD , especially when you factor in all of Renes fortune now that wasn't left to his 3 older children.

 

Also I think Celine no longer has a private jet, it seems like lately she has been traveling on a Caesars Palace private jet.

Famous singer Celine Dion also chose the Bombardier BD-700 Global Express XRS for personal transport. In addition to a private jet, Celine Dion has also been known to own multiple mansions and even a private island.

I read somewhere that they lost a lot of money because of Renés gambling. But at least her last tour gave her a lot lot of $$$

That article showing Celine's worth at $700 million also shows how shitty the GRAMMY awards have become in recent years. It says Celine and Mariah both have 5 GRAMMY awards in total and yet Beyoncé won 5 for her debut album. Ummmm OK.

My husband works in show business and he shared with me some interesting details.

 

First of all, celebrities usually bring home about 30-40% of their tour gross. A big tour is quite expensive to organise, actually, with building a stage (in case of world tours there are at least 2-3 stages), transporting it from one place to another, lighting, sound, dancers... So companies as AEG Live or Live Nation end up getting most of the profits. After all, they are the one who take all the risks, not the artist.

 

Now, Taking Chances World Tour grossed $280 million from tickets sales. What Celine must have got is about $100 million. But that's before taxes. I think (not sure) Celine pays taxes in the US since she lives there, so her tax rate must be about 40%. That means her net salary was $60 million. I know there were a lot of T-Shirts, cups with her name sold, but according to my husband artists usually don't get much from that.

Also, some percentage goes to the manager, but in case of Celine that was Rene, so we don't reckon it.

 

With A New Day it's more complicated, since they didn't have to move the stage, the theater was built and ended up being used not only by Celine. I read somewhere that the original contract for 3 years in 2002 was worth $100 million. Let's estimate she ended up getting at least $150 for the whole deal, which is around $100 million after taxes.

 

Add to this her Celine Show, mini-tours, private concerts. I think it's quite safe that she has earned $250 miilion in XXI century from touring (including merchandising). In the 90s the number must be significantly lower since the tickets prices were not as big, there were a lot of dates cancelled during LTAL Tour and so on.

Now add to this number unknown sums from her contracts with Sony on albums and singles.

 

Celine IS NOT a billionaire or even close to be one.

But she must be Top 3 richest female musicians.

I do believe Madonna is the richest one, and third place is probably taken by Beyonce.

Thank you for sharing that. Very interesting. I read somewhere that a manager gets about %10 of the income but not sure.

 

Also regarding Las Vegas, I think Céline get's a big % of the income from the Céline store that's open when she's performing.

Celine has made a lot of money from fragances too, really, a lot, and I'm sure they invested in other business as well, plus she is one of the artists that gets more from every cd or song sold thanks to Rene negotiations. She must be quite wealthy but if there is someone in show business that deserves it that's her, she has worked a lot since day 1. Edited by manu23

People spend so much time obsessing over celebrity fortune.

 

And I cannot at some of you quoting Forbes as a reliable source of information - that article you're all referencing, it states that she's earned $260m from Vegas yet her fortune is only $380m? So she's earned $120m from everything else?

 

On the Canadian Rich List for 2014, she was cited as the 101st richest Canadian in the world with a fortune estimated to be $721,446,865.

Since then, she's probably added an additional $80m to take her to $800m wealth.

Céline Dion, music's greatest ever singer, the biggest-selling Canadian artist of all-time and most successful female live act ever - what's not to love?

I doubt she's made more than a few mil from her fragrances even though the sales for the franchise exceed $1 billion.

They did own Nickels Restaurants and Le Mirage golf course as well.

This can really defer per artist. Some managers get 10% or 20% and some even more than 50%..

Oh wow, ok let's hope that René made a good contract with Aldo and that he's not getting that much..

We're talking about a woman who has worked her #ss off putting on a Las Vegas show, releasing a French album, recording songs for an English album, appearing on numerous televised events, is raising her children, and still dealing with the loss of her husband and you seriously called her "lazy"?! That's absolutely ridiculous! Maybe you should show her how it's done since you're apparently extremely knowledgeable of what it takes to be an international singing sensation. I'll be waiting for your album.

 

Also we need to remind ourselves that vocal cords - like every single part of the body - age. Comparing Celine 97 to Celine 2017 is really, really unfair. But it only shows how perfect she is that any imperfection seems like a big deal to us.

Guys, let's give our beloved singer a break, shall we?

The taxes.... OMG Edited by jpatdeleon09

Someone's worth etc isn't just about how much they've earned in a year etc. It's about how much their properties/assets are worth etc too. No one knows exactly how much celine is worth - except her accountant. People can only surmise. Like others have said, Forbes is only part of her wealth.

I definitely wouldn't say no to her wealth lol. Where's my lottery tickets? Need to check them 😁

Céline Dion's Net Worth: $380 Million In 2016

 

 

Name: Celine Dion

Net worth: $380 million

Age: 48

Residence: Las Vegas

The Canadian-born songstress has netted some $260 million from her Las Vegas residencies since 2003, when her show, A New Day, opened. After a hiatus to care for her ailing husband (who died in January) Dion has resumed those gigs and is on schedule to perform her thousandth show in Vegas by year-end. She has also earned money from tours and selling over 220 million records.

 

Don't worry guys, she is a rich lady :) . As a normal person, you can dream about this amount of money.

 

For individuals, net worth or wealth refers to an individual's net economic position, the value of the individual's assets minus liabilities. Examples of assets that an individual would factor into his or her net worth include retirement accounts, other investments, home(s) and vehicles. Liabilities include both secured debt (such as a home mortgage or vehicle loan) and unsecured debt (such as consumer debt or personal loans). Typically intangible assets such as educational degrees are not factored into net worth, even though such assets positively contribute to one's overall financial position.

For a deceased individual, net worth can be used for the value of their estate when in probate. Individuals with considerable net worth are listed as High-net-worth individuals.

From 2000 and 2010, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Celine Dion was the highest grossing entertainer across the globe. Between concert ticket sales, record sales, merchandise and additional sources of income, Dion’s empire actually grossed over $720 million. Of that sum, $500 million came from global ticket sales. And, of that $500 million, an estimated $350 million came from just her Las Vegas show. Dion has a residency contract through 2019.

What does net worth mean.

 

Net worth is "take home" money. Forbes' numbers are an estimated net worth based on revenue they have calculated on their own from ticket sales, album sales, etc. Therefore, their numbers are revenue based. They have no way of truly knowing how much she actually has.

 

Not to mention her own personal assets. Properties, vehicles, life insurance, her vocal cords are surely insured on their own. Her awards are worth money as well.
