Blessed with an immense musical wealth and an iconic name, Tina Turner († 83) has managed to become one of the most economically successful singers. After breaking up with Ike Turner, she had to start all over again from the bottom.
Tina Turner only laid the foundation of her fortune, which is estimated at around CHF 225 million, at the age of 44. This places the pop icon at 266th place in the “Bilanz” ranking, which was among Switzerland’s 300 richest people last year. At the beginning of 2022, Turner and his wife, Erwin Bach (67), purchased a property in Stäfa ZH that is said to be worth 70 million francs.
Millions of albums have been sold…
Tina Turner made her big comeback as a solo artist in 1984 with the album “Private Dancer”, which sold over 20 million copies. The sale of sound carriers—especially the CD released in the 1980s—was good business for many artists. For each album sold for about 30 francs, about 5 francs went to the singer. “Private Dancer” is still Turner’s best-selling album.
In total, Tina Turner has produced ten studio albums, two live albums, two soundtracks, and five compilations, which – depending on the source – have sold 180 million copies. This makes Turner one of the best-selling recording artists worldwide.
… and concert tickets
Tina Turner was a talented live performer who delighted millions with her gigs. In this field, Switzerland is even the only record holder to enter the Guinness Book of Records: In January 1988, Turner sang lead on the “Break Every Rule” world tour at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (BRA). around 188,000 fans – such a large audience has never attracted the attention of a solo artist.
A profitable business: no other musician has sold as many live tickets as Tina Turner. The “Twenty Four Seven” tour in 2000 alone earned 100 million Swiss francs.
Turner sold the rights to his life’s work to music company BMG in October 2021. The label is said to have paid up to CHF 50 million for these rights. There are no more precise details.
Her husband Erwin Bach will likely inherit most of the fortune. Tina Turner’s two sons from previous marriages have already passed away. But Turner also leaves two adopted sons and two grandchildren who should definitely be included in the pop icon’s will.
