Well, because it's pretty interesting to read, in my opinion, and I've never seen one before.

This took quite a bit of research and information gathering from trusted sources like CCM Magazine, New Release Today, Billboard, and Pollstar (which tracks the highest-grossing live music tours).

This list combines the biggest artists in Contemporary Christian music and Gospel music. These estimates are all net worth.

10. Yolanda Adams/Blind Boys Of Alabama $7,000,000

9. CeCe Winans  $8,000,000

8. Kirk Franklin/Chris Tomlin $9,000,000

7. Michael English  $10,000,000

A little surprising, but he is a long-time member of the Gaither Vocal Band. Anything Bill Gaither touches turns to big money. He's a very smart businessman, and we will see him on this list

6. TobyMac  $12,000,000

5. Michael W. Smith  $14,000,000

4. Shirley Caesar $15,000,000

3. Bill Gaither $25,000,000

2. Amy Grant  $55,000,000

1. Kari Jobe�� $111,000,000

That is a bit of a shocker! Kari, who is married to Christian artist Cody Carnes, is in the top spot by a mile.

Much of this is due to her writing of many modern worship classics. She writes many of the songs sung in churches all over the world.
