Jerry Lee Lewis - 86

Jerry Lee Lewis is a real rock ’n roll artist who rose to fame with his big hit "Great Balls of Fire." After facing some controversy, he made a country comeback, earning him a $15 million net worth. His artistry didn’t go unnoticed, and his music still enjoys critical acclaim. He's had an interesting past, though, having been married 7 times, and was once arrested for allegedly trying to shoot Elvis Presley. At 86, it seems like he's settled down.
