Now let me tell ya ’bout this fella Paul Simon. Oh, you know him, right? He’s that famous singer fella from way back, sung with that other guy, Art Garfunkel. Folks been talkin’ about him for years, especially when it comes to how much money he’s got. Well, it’s 2024 now, and lemme tell ya, Paul Simon’s net worth is sittin’ pretty at around $200 million. Ain’t that somethin’? That’s a heap of money for anyone, let alone a fella who’s been in music for over 60 years!
Paul’s been around a long time, startin’ out with that Simon & Garfunkel group. Oh, they made some big hits, like “The Sound of Silence” and “Mrs. Robinson.” Those songs still get played today, and ya can betcha they bring in a good bit of cash for Paul. Them royalties keep on rollin’ in, even when he ain’t performin’ no more. And, honey, them concerts he did back in the day? Big money there too! Folks would pay a pretty penny just to see him sing.
Now, after he split from Garfunkel, Paul didn’t slow down none. No ma’am. He went on to have a real successful solo career. Oh, I reckon that’s where he made most of his money. Songs like “Graceland” and “You Can Call Me Al” were huge hits. That “Graceland” album was a monster success, sold millions of copies! And it won him all sorts of awards too. People just couldn’t get enough of it. They still love it today!
Another thing, Paul’s been smart with his money. Now, I ain’t sayin’ I know all the details, but you can bet a man with his kind of money ain’t just sittin’ on it. No sir, he’s probably got all kinds of investments, like them music catalog deals you hear about. I remember hearin’ somewhere that folks been buyin’ up music rights like crazy these days, and Paul’s music is worth a fortune. He sold some of his catalog too, and that brought in a big ol’ pile of cash.
Even in his later years, Paul Simon’s been keepin’ busy. Now, I heard he had some trouble with his hearing a while back. Poor man lost his hearing in one ear while he was workin’ on that new album of his in 2023, called “Seven Psalms.” Must’ve been real scary for him, but he pushed on. That’s the kinda fella he is, tough and don’t give up easy.
As for live shows, well, Paul ain’t doin’ much of that these days. He’s gettin’ older, ya know, and with that ear trouble, it’s tough to keep performin’. But with all that money he’s got from record sales, tours, and smart investments, I reckon he don’t need to worry ’bout money no more. And who could blame him? If I had $200 million, I’d be sittin’ back and enjoyin’ life too!
So there ya have it, folks. Paul Simon’s sittin’ on a whoppin’ $200 million in 2024, thanks to all them years of makin’ music, sellin’ albums, doin’ concerts, and smart dealin’ with his music rights. That fella’s had one heck of a career, and even though he ain’t performin’ much now, his music’s still playin’ all over the world. Ain’t that somethin’?
