Though Dancehall/Reggae music is still considered to be “underground” and a struggling genre in the music industry, a few artists have managed to do well for themselves. Here are the top 10 Richest Dancehall/Reggae artists alive.
01. Shaggy – Net Worth US$22 Million
02. Jimmy Cliff – Net Worth US$18 Million
03. Sean Paul – Net Worth US$11 Million
04. Ziggy Marley – Net Worth US$10 Million

07. Maxi Priest – Net Worth US$4.6 Million
08. Buju Banton – Net Worth US$4 Million
09. Beenie Man – Net Worth US$3.7 Million
10. Bounty Killer – Net Worth US$3 Million
Bob Marley, though deceased, outranks all the other reggae artists on the list combined. Bob’s estimated value is worth US$130 Million.
No Disrespect meant, but if Buju is so rich why does there need to be a benefit concert to pay his legal fees huh?
Waw Rass we taking over, Bob Marley still da bigman.
Reggae is BIG business but because the artists don’t market themselves properly (expect for Shaggy and Sean Paul – I don’t consider Sean Kingston Reggae – he’s pop with reggae influence), They will continue to collect the dreggs of the financial barrell.
