8. Avicii – $50 Million

His real name was Tim Bergling, and he had been a DJ, songwriter, and electronic musician who topped the charts with his songs. He rose to fame in 2011 with one of his masterpiece – Levels – and shortly started a tour and began collaborating with different musicians from all over the world. The problems in his career began early as one year after his stardom started he had to have his appendix and gallbladder removed because of alcohol misuse.

His health started to deteriorate because he turned into painkillers and he became mentally unstable due to the pressure to execute. Avicii ended his life in 2018 at the youthful age of 28-years-old and his family launched the Tim Bergling Foundation in his honour.
