| Andrew Lloyd Webber |
The British composer and theater producer has a net worth of $1.2 billion, which puts him at number 1. He started playing musical instruments at an early age: he was three when he began playing the piano. Since he began composing in the 1960s, he has written some of the most recognizable music on Broadway, with his biggest hit being the Phantom of the Opera, a production that has been staged on Broadway more than 10,000 times. He has collected a number of awards for his composition and has also been knighted. Another important source of his wealth was his founding of the Really Useful Group in 1977, a company which is involved in the production of performances in virtually every art form, including theater, television, video, concerts and film. The company is also involved in music publishing.
