The 2026 FIFA World Cup final wasn't only historic because Spain lifted the trophy. It also marked the tournament's first-ever half-time show, with FIFA borrowing a page from the NFL's Super Bowl by inviting some of the world's biggest music stars to perform.
While the 11-minute spectacle divided football fans, it brought together artists whose combined estimated fortunes exceed $2 billion (£1.5 billion). Beyond chart-topping careers, each performer has built a lucrative brand through touring, endorsements, business ventures, and investments.
