Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, Sir Elton John is one of the most commercially successful artists in the music scene. His vibrant career spans more than fifty years and he has sold more than 300 million albums internationally. As a child, he began to play the piano and received formal lessons when he was seven. Elton even won a music scholarship from London’s Royal Academy of Music at age eleven. His rise to success can be credited to his first albums Elton John and Empty Sky, in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

Today, Sir Elton John has a net worth of half a billion dollars. Aside from his earnings in music, his wealth comes from his various endeavors, including owning the football club Watford F.C. Although he sold the majority of his shares, he remained president and held a significant financial interest.
