Linda Ronstadt – 74-Years-Old, $130 Million Net Worth
In case you didn’t know, its been nearly twelve years since Linda Ronstadt, once the highest-paid woman in rock and roll, performed her last concert. In 2013, the world found out why Ronstadt decided to retire: Parkinson’s disease had rendered her unable to sing, ending her musical career. Over fifty years ago, Ronstadt rose to fame with hit ’60s gems like “Different Drum” and “You’re No Good.”
However, Ronstadt, now 74-years-old, didn’t rest in rock music, instead experimenting with a wide range of genres. In fact, in the ’80s, she went to Broadway, starring in Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance. Despite struggling with a terrible disease, Ronstadt has still managed to hang on to her $130 million fortune.
