Most Americans may not be familiar with Slavica Ecclestone, the former model and ex-wife of Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone, but she has earned quite a bit of cash outside the spotlight during the couple’s divorce in 2008.

Sir Paul is worth just as much as Slavica Ecclestone, but we’ll count his knighthood in his favor to bump him up to ninth place. After decades of touring, McCartney still earns millions in royalties and licensing fees, as well as tons of money through his publishing company MPL Communications.
Jay-Z — Net Worth: $1.3 Billion

As number 23 on Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, novelist Scott has done pretty well for herself, though her fortune may be partly derived from her involvement in the founding of Amazon and her marriage to uber-rich tech CEO billionaire Jeff Bezos.
