It’s well known that celebrities like to invest in their glamorous lifestyles by buying up luxury real estate and flaunting their yachts and high-end cars. But research by Forex.com has found that business ventures, intellectual property and financial instruments as well as collectables have also produced good returns for the rich and famous.

According to the research, celebrities invested an average of US$38m per venture, and a third have put over US$100m into a single business investment.
More than a Babyface
Singer/songwriter Babyface tops the charts with a return on investment of 134% – more than double the return that singers typically make compared to their net worth. This is thanks to a portfolio that includes a US$7m New York property, a US$3m mansion in Paris and a Bugatti Chiron worth US$3m.
Social-media influencer and TikTok star Bella Poarch is the top female on the list, making a 51% return on net worth.
