These Are The Richest Rock Bands In The World
Video Overview & Insights
Over the past seven decades, there have been thousands of rock bands that have hit the charts or had some modicum of commercial success. But only a few have reached the absolute top of the music industry, rewarded not just with worldwide fame, but also with unparalleled fortune.
Correction: David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd after they got their name, not before. The band also broke up in the 1980s, not the 1990s. Thanks for pointing out these errors, and for keeping us on our toes!
From the Dave Matthews Band to U2 to Pink Floyd to Bon Jovi, these bands have all enjoyed long term success, selling millions of albums and headlining sold out concerts year after year. But just who is the richest? The Black Eyed Peas? Metallica? The Beatles? The Eagles? We've got the answer, because these are the richest rock bands in the world.

So awesome to see METALLICA, my favorite band, up there with the Stones and Aerosmith, etc. And so happy to hear so many help charities.
@tawnyschlienz9063Never heard of Dave Matthews band. And u2, Coldplay and Bon jovi are utterly shite. Can’t see how they ever made it!
@Jimbo-90Why are black eyed peas on here….they’re not rock 😂😂
@that1mayanguy103Paul McCartney alone is worth over 1.2 billion and Ringo over 400 million. Check your facts.
@michaelde851👍 Interesting
@barbiebrowny7003If they don't seek out their Creator to meet and know Him, they will have failed at the highest purpose in life. Sure, Jesus has wanted for us --- a good and happy life, but our Creator also has wanted for us to meet and know HIM, as well. Don't fail to seek Him and get to know Him.
Jesus said: "You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." ... Most people don't even think about God. It's the most important thing in life.
Hilarious. Why would you think black eyed peas are a rock band. 😂
@christinejewett1566Last comment is hilarious. Why would you think black eyed peas are a rock band?
@christinejewett1566I don't know if this is 100% true, but I heard of a band that couldn't think of a name before they went on stage, so when asked they had to come up with a name quick. The band before them was Pretty Boy Floyd, so they decided on the name Ugly Kid Joe.
@ExMachina70Fortune and fame does not guarantee happiness. Philadelphia USA
@honorladone8682DMB lost their original keyboard player Peter Greiser quit before their first commercial success, LeRoi Moore tragically died from complications of an ATV wreck in 2008, and Boyd Tinsley was ousted in 2018 due to a sex scandal.
@thomasmandallaWhat about The Grateful Dead the most touring band in the world
@heyitsmespider6792NO KISS OR LED ZEPP? this list is crap
@nikod9530Dave Matthews not a rock band also .... terrible
@johnpyle702Well with over 1000 cd's I only own cd's from one of them. I'll give you a hint - think 80's.
Two of the bands I don't even think I've heard of. The first one and Coldplay.
Out of the rest I do maybe listen to a little bit of Aerosmith and Metallica.
Of course the band that I own albums of is Bon Jovi, I think the first 5 or 6 cd's. Everything after These Days I'm not a fan of.
Bono as an artist under Irish tax law pAys no income tax whatsoever
@somewhatsomething4882Never heard of Dave Matthews band.
@PJpaulieI do not consider The Black Eyed Peas to be qualified for this genre.
@annalee6376ever heard of ACDC Kiss or Nirvana? they have earned more than some on this list. also I wouldn't count Black Eyed Peas as a rock band.
@scottlobegeiger3760AC/DC?
@jacksonmagriplis6617It's hard to take the horrible mistake about David Gilmour was one of the original member of Pink Floyd in 1965. Idiot.
@harryhaller3062Look up Bob Weir
@maartendenhartog1580This video immediately lost all credibility when it said the combined net worth of the Dave Matthews Band is 51 Million. That’s not even remotely close. That’s a summer tour. Dave’s personal net worth is in the hundreds of millions and Carters, Boyd’s, and Stefan’s are probably way up in the 8 figures.
@WhiskeySam1where is acdc
@josephbucchino1959Black eyed peas. Yea right
@bobstiger435BEP is a rock band. That is all I learned from this.
@Niex_KnoxCold play plays rock music in witch country?????
@henriquealpiresantana218AC/DC who hold the record for the highest selling album by a group of all time (Back in Black 1980) says hi.
@montys8thStopped watching when a pink Floyd showed up and the video says David Gilmour was already in the band when it got named Pink Floyd (wrong) it also says the band split in the 90s. Also so very wrong, they split in the 80s. Do your homework before putting out a video.
@mariblandoAC/DC and Queen should be right up there. This is inaccurate, forget The Black Eyes Peas.
@julesgiddings8747Beyoncé didn’t have the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction;” that was Janet Jackson. The lyric that accompanied it was “I’m gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” which implies the alleged malfunction is responsible for the rest of Janet’s clothes staying on.
@timwideman8824Moron. Led Zeppelin rules.
@danstanfield4505Supper cool ,GB
@berlieannapalmer1187Rip Charlie
@josearriola3087Def Leppard should've been in here somewhere. They've consistently adapted over the years but maintained their unique sound.
@jenniferwilcox9759what no acdc?
@stevesavage171210 shades of suck right off the bat. Gets a down 👎👎
@ricstormwolfThis is shit ,but what did I expect from a chanel called grunge ,this chanel should swollow a shot gun also , just like the wanking style of music they named there chanel after ,eat a bullet
@stuartturner6617I'm over one minute in and I'm not hearing proper 80s Rock N Roll ,I like the eagles but to me that is hippie crap
@stuartturner6617If u2 sold 1•8billion units of concert sales in just a26 yr period which is only a part of there44year year history shouldn't that make them no1
