Cliff Richard’s Net Worth and Career

Cliff Richard is a British pop singer, musician, performer and actor with a net worth of $110 million. He has had a #1 single on the charts every decade for the last 60 years and is the highest selling singles artist of all time in the United Kingdom. Richard’s career spanned more than 50 years and earned him many gold and platinum awards.

Born Harry Rodger Webb on October 14, 1940, in Lucknow, India, Richard dominated the British popular music scene in the late ’50s and early ’60s, before the Beatles. Even John Lennon once claimed that “before Cliff and the Shadows there had been nothing worth listening to in British music.” Though he never achieved the same level of success in the United States, his single We Don’t Talk Anymore reached the Billboard Hot 100s Top 40 in the ’80s.

Richard was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the British honours system in 1995. He has addressed long-running rumors about his sexuality by once asking a television interviewer: “If I was gay, would it make any difference?”

Richard never married, saying he had “a few false alarms” and that being an artist consumed a great deal of time. He once confessed that in the early ’70s he was in love with Olivia Newton-John, with whom he collaborated on the song Suddenly from the film Xanadu.
