Fats Domino – $8 million
Here is another rock ‘n’ roll pioneer from New Orleans! Fats Domino has also been cited as an R&B inspiration. From 1955 to 1960, he managed to sell more than 65 million records. During that span of time, he also boasted eleven Top 10 hits. He was a modest guy who was not very fond of the camera, which explains why he did not achieve the same level of fame as his peers. At any rate, he had 35 albums that made it to the Top 40 Billboard charts. A lot of them went gold and even platinum!
