Yes, it is a widely known fact that celebrities, stars and famous faces make plenty of money. But just how much wealth do they actually have may shock you and make you look at your own bank account’s balance with envy.

Some celebrities end up making more money via carefully planned investments rather than their chosen career or skill! Of course, that happens when one has great business skills or an excellent wealth management team.

So what is that makes these celebrities rich, and how are they spending it? Let’s show you how…

Jimmy Savile: ~ $10 Million

Jimmy Savile was the wildly popular radio and television presenter and DJ who hosted two beloved shows on British television, Top of the Pops and the kiddie show, Jim’ll Fix It. He died in 2011, but is all over the news again for his heinous child abuse crimes.

Jimmy, at the time of his death, was worth $10 million, and his estate was worth £4.3 million. In his will, he left some money for friends and family and most of it went to the Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust. It was later discovered that some money was set aside as compensation for his many victims.

Billie Eilish: ~ $8 Million

One is inclined to think that millionaire songstress known of her hits Bad Guy and Ocean Eyes, Billie Eilish may live in a huge mansion, but that is not the case. The 18-year-old has made a huge name for herself in the music scene in a relatively short amount of time but she still lives with her parents.

That’s right, this modest 2-bedroom family home is where Billie lives when she is not touring for her concerts. She may think it’s time to move out though! The young singer is known for being humble and down-to-earth and although she poses in front of muscle cars for her social media fans, she actually drives around a rather simple black vehicle.

Brett Lee: ~ $10 Million

Brett Lee is a retired cricketer from Australia, who is now a commentator, philanthropist, actor and singer, too. He is said to earn $1 million from brand endorsements alone, besides his Indian Premier League fees and commentating income!

No wonder the fast bowler and former captain is worth $10 million now, and can afford to own a luxurious mansion in New South Wales, Australia, besides other real estate properties. He also spends his money on philanthropic endeavours and runs the Mewsic Foundation in India.

Sean Connery: ~ $350 Million

At the time of his death in October 2020, legendary Scottish actor Sean Connery (90), was worth a whopping $350 million. It is said that the James Bond actor could have been worth $450 million more had he not turned down a role in the Lord of the Rings movies, as he did not understand the script!

Nevertheless, the Dr. No star lived a cushy life, even though he had officially retired from the entertainment industry in 2006. He has owned some jaw dropping homes over the years, such as this one in the sunny Bahamas, besides one on the French Riviera and a mansion in Ireland.

Eddie Van Halen: ~ $100 Million

The late rock legend and guitar virtuoso Eddie Val Halen not only founded the band Van halen with his brother Alex, but he also steered it to the heights it has enjoyed in the recent times. As one of the best rock bands in history, Van Halen sold records, tour tickets and merchandise like there was no tomorrow, netting Eddie a handsome net worth of $100 million.

We know how he earned all that money, but Eddie was also a big spender. He had an envious luxury car collection that includes Ferraris, Lamborghinis and his beloved Porsche. About his real estate holdings, he lived in his Los Angeles home since the 80s, and sold off another $1.5 million home in Beverly Hills in 2008.
