Andrew Lloyd Webber has been successful in Britain as a director of numerous late 20th century plays, including The Phantom of the Opera. He stands out as a composer, writer, author, producer, and director and thanks to his achievements and talents he has amassed a great fortune over his career, estimated at $920 million.

The composer plans to donate his fortune to the theater industry, to which he believes he owes his success. He has also revealed that his 5 children will see very little cash after he dies and says that they don’t mind, as they believe in having a work ethic. “I don’t believe in inherited money at all,” he said. “I am not in favor of children suddenly finding a lot of money coming their way because then, they have no incentive to work,” he added.
