Little Richard – $40 Million Net Worth
When rock and roll legend Little Richard passed away in May 2020, it shocked the rock community. Sure, Richard had been 87, but many felt that he would be around forever. After all, despite his first hit, “Tutti Frutti,” coming out in 1955, Little Richard remained as relevant in 2020 as ever. Thanks to a string of hits that also include “Long Tall Sally” and “Lucielle,” Richard invented rock and roll as we know it.
Of course, along with the fame of inventing the world’s most popular music genre, Little Richard also garnered fortune. Unlike other celebrities, however, the singer did not splash out on cars and houses. As a result, he left his family a whopping $40 million upon his tragic passing.
