Elton John's net worth is well beyond the $100 million barrier, as the singer's been steadily successful for the past five decades, after he first started out singing in 1964, right about the time The Beatles first reached the United States on the Ed Sullivan Show. Elton John's net worth vouches for his long career in the entertainment world, where he is one of the most famous and respected figures.
The singer, songwriter and piano player has sold over 300 million records in his lifetime, which explains why Elton John's net worth is so high. He's also known as a music producer and as one of the world's most important LGBT figures, being a gay man himself and having been a long-standing advocate of the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community - he was one of the most outspoken figures lobbying for same-sex marriage in the United Kingdom.
Though a strong supporter of same-sex marriage in his country, after it was approved earlier this year he hasn't married his long-term partner. However, he has been in a civil partnership with David Furnish since 2005, and they were one of the first couples in the country to do so. As it is, Elton John's net worth is not only for himself and Furnish, but also for their two children, born from the same surrogate mother: Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, born in 2010 and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, born in 2013.
The family has been spotted often with entertainment friends Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who married recently in Italy and also have two children, twins Gideon Scott, a boy, and Harper Grace, a girl, who were born in 2010. John was a guest at their wedding last month, and even gave a surprise performance - also, according to Harris, the legendary Brit also introduced the newlyweds' first dance, to Kelly Clarkson's American Idol hit "A Moment Like This."
Elton John's net worth stands currently at around $440 million, according to website Celebrity Net Worth. Sure enough, Zachary and Elijah have a great future ahead of them with that kind of money!
