World’s Richest Dancers

3. Rudolf Nureyev

Probably one of the best and most acclaimed ballet dancers of the last century, during his lifetime Rudolf Nureyev also managed to become one of the richest in the business. Although the Soviet dancer has been dead since 1993, we thought it was necessary to include him and his $7.9 million fortune on this list, especially because he was a very influential figure in the dancing world.
