In the world of music, female artists continue to push the boundaries and make a profound impact both on and off the stage, in our headphones, and through the music coming from our speakers.

Many successful female artists have expanded beyond the world of music and built their empires through various ventures. Using data gathered from celebritynetworth.com, here’s a look at the 10 richest female musicians and the ways in which they amassed their wealth.

As you're perusing this list, be sure to check out Audacy's extensive list of stations celebrating women musicians such as She Sings, Women of Alt, Women of Hip Hop, Women of the 90s, Women that Rock, and Katie Neal's Leading Ladies!

10 Jennifer Lopez, $400 million

Love may not cost a thing, but that doesn't mean JLo ain't got it like that. Between her music, her time on American Idol, her days as a rom-com leading lady, brand deals, real estate ventures and more, the Bronx native is doing extremely well for herself.

Barbra Streisand

9 Barbra Streisand, $407 million

Want to know Barbra Streisand's key to making millions? Have a career spanning six decades that fans will still sell out tours for, sprinkle in some time on Broadway and a few movies, and you're set.

Victoria Beckham

8 Victoria Beckham, $450 million

Posh Spice is still in high demand. From her book to real estate to her being one of fashion's best, it's no surprise Mrs. Beckham is the wealthiest of her bandmates. Not to mention, her Spice Girls royalties and former tours still provides a pretty penny for her piggybank.

Shania Twain

7 Shania Twain, $450 million

Shania Twain is one of Country's biggest powerhouses. Though she has made appearances on shows and guest judged a time or two, her music and fans keep her bank account secure.

Gloria Estefan

6 Gloria Estefan, $500 million

The GRAMMY-award winning, Cuban-American is considered to be "most successful crossover performer in Latin music ever." Between her record sales, appearances on TV/Film, New York Times bestselling books and more, Estefan has definitely made her mark.

Beyoncé

5 Beyoncé, $500 million

First comes music, then comes films and then, own a creative agency and fashion line and reap the benefits. With the success coming from Parkwood Entertainment, Queen Bey is just fine without a new album (but give it to us anyway).

Dolly Parton

4 Dolly Parton, $650 million

Surprisingly, only one-third of Dolly's wealth comes from publishing and royalties. For the rest, she has her amusement park, Dollywood, and Hollywood films to thank.

Celine Dion

3 Celine Dion, $800 million

Celine Dion is Canada's biggest star, especially with three consecutive Diamond-certified albums. Special shoutout to 1997's Titanic and her Vegas residency for skyrocketing those checks into higher tax brackets.

Madonna

2 Madonna, $850 million

The Pop veteran isn't new to this; she's true to it. Her tours and merchandise still sell out. Her music racks up in streaming plus between her joint venture, Maverick, her film career, her books, fashion brands and art collection, of course Madonna has the funds and knows how to spend them.

Rihanna

1 Rihanna, $1.7 billion

Trailing Oprah's heels, Rihanna took having multiple streams of income literally. Between her timeless hits and countless business ventures including Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, this accomplishment was only a matter of time.
