Whether playing their new singles and albums, buying perfumes, beauty products, or fashion lines, more zeros are added to their bank accounts every time we support our favorite singers. 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.

Each year they release an updated list informing whose fortune grew and who went from billionaire status to millionaire or is in bankruptcy. According to Celebrity Net Worth’s recent listicle, there are four Latinas in the top 25 of the wealthiest singers, and their numbers are pretty impressive.

Position #9 - Gloria Estefan
