Gladys Knight

Before being known to many for her solo career, she founded a musical group along with her siblings Bubba and Brenda Knight called Gladys Knight & The Pips. They were known for their Motown hit Everybody Needs Love and its reputation was later surpassed by Marvin Gaye’s rendition of the song. Her group was featured on Kenny Rogers’ single called Share Your Love With Me. After years of success, the band later broke up and it was a new beginning for her since she opted to focus on her solo career from then onward.

She joined Elton John, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder on the song That’s What Friends Are For, which was made for the benefit of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research (formerly American Foundation for AIDS Research at the time the song became popular). She had a farewell tour in the UK, which started back in 2009 but don’t take the word “ farewell “ seriously, because she still performed from 2015 to 2019 and even had a guest appearance on The Masked Singer. In other words, she is far from retiring, but of course, she must prioritize her insurance to make her future or even her health secured. However, with her total net worth of $28 million, money isn’t a problem at all.
