American singer and actress Diana Ross is undoubtedly a music legend. You’d have to be living under a rock to not have heard one of her songs, especially the infamous “I’m Coming Out” (1980).
Ross first rose to fame as the lead singer of The Supremes, one of Motown’s most popular acts during the1960s.
The band quickly became one of America’s most successful vocal groups, and achieved 12 hit singles on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 list.
Even to this day, The Supremes remain one of the world’s bestselling female vocalist groups, and their tracks, including “You Can’t Hurry Love” and ‘Baby Love” have become cultural classics.

Ross departed from The Supremes in 1970 to pursue a solo career.
The artist’s debut album, Diana Ross, was released in May 1970, and Ross achieved her first number one single with “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” that same year.
An impressive 25 studio albums and 75 million album sales worldwide later, it is safe to say that Diana Ross has already has gone down in music history as one of the greats. But, just how much is Diana Ross worth?

Diana Ross began her music career at the impressive age of 15 years old, joining The Supremes in 1959 under their previous name, The Primettes. Since then, she has achieved an astounding 65 years of success within the music industry, and went on to win the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012.
Ross has even received honourable praise for her contribution to American culture and the music industry by the President of the United States himself.
In 2016, Diana Ross was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama, who commented that Ross has earned herself “a permanent place in the American soundtrack.”
This Sunday, Diana Ross is expected to perform at Glastonbury Festival on the iconic Pyramid Stage.
Surprisingly, this will be her debut performance at the festival, although she recently made her first UK appearance in 15 years headlining the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Party.
