For decades the Queen of Pop has been dropping hit after hit. Her first one was in 1984, Like A Virgin. And the 50th one in 2019 with Music.

Now, let’s take a look at her logo. It’s a simple wordmark with a neo-grotesque font style. Aside from that, the letter O is highlighted with a red hue to grab the attention of the viewer since it’s equally smacked in the middle of the other letters in black.

Celine Dion

For our next female on the list, Celine Dion’s net worth is around 800 million dollars. She’s famous for winning the Eurovision contest in 1988.

Some of her greatest hits are Because You Loved Me, The Power of Love, and That’s The Way It Is. You might’ve also heard her in the Deadpool movie singing Ashes as part of its soundtrack.

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a singer-songwriter with a charismatic presence on and off stage. His net worth is around 700 million dollars, and nicknamed “The Boss.”
