Unfortunately, if you're looking to make fat stacks of cash, becoming a professional musician is far from your best bet. Most bands are lucky to break even when it comes to their sonic endeavors, but there are a few prominent rock and metal musicians out there that have been able to use $100 bills as wallpaper thanks to their illustrious careers.

The website CelebrityNetworth.com has just listed the 30 richest drummers in the world, as well as an estimated dollar amount of what they're worth, considering salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements, while taking out taxes and various fees, as well as lifestyle choices.

Coming in at No. 1 is Ringo Starr of Beatles fame, but not far behind the iconic drummer at No. 3 is Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman, Dave Grohl, who is reportedly worth $225 million.

Snagging the No. 5 spot on the list is Metallica's Lars Ulrich. Even though Napster prevented Ulrich from purchasing that solid gold hovercraft the drummer had his eye on, he is still worth an impressive $175 million.

Other iconic drummers featured on the list include Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers, $90 million), Bill Ward (Black Sabbath, $65 million), Tre Cool (Green Day, $45 million) and Danny Carey (Tool, $40 million).
