Tom Petty – $95 million

We have another best-selling artist on the list! Tom Petty gained a fascination with rock ‘n’ roll after meeting Elvis Presley. He had been ten years old at the time! Aside from that, he was inspired by the Rolling Stones to form his own punk rock band. He formed a band called Mudcrutch, but it was not very successful. His tide turned when he formed Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! In the ‘70s, their second album cracked the Top 40 List. The third album saw even more success and sold two million copies.
