Chris Martin | $14 million per year

Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin has a huge net worth of $130 million. With over 100 million record sales, his band is considered one of the best-selling music groups worldwide. Aside from this feat, Coldplay also bagged seven Grammy Awards.

Despite being Coldplay’s primary lyricist, Martin decided to split all copyright credits with his bandmates evenly. This wise move has effectively earned his bandmates millions in royalties. The frontman reportedly earns $14 million a year, and he gets most of his income from his performances on worldwide tours. Aside from concerts, Martin’s income also comes from record sales. As we’ve said, Coldplay sold 100 million copies of their records, raking in millions of dollars along the way. However, an amazing piece of information about Martin is that he urged his bandmates to donate 10% of their total earnings to charity. For two decades, he remains a vocal supporter of several humanitarian groups.
