In case you didn't know, there's a website called Celebrity Net Worth that estimates famous people's net worth. It's probably not the most accurate thing, but it's still fun to look at. A couple weeks ago, I looked into the net worth of people who have retired from Hollywood , and this time, I decided to look into people who could be considered "one hit wonders." Essentially, I wanted to see how much their big hits made them. Remember, this is all speculation. 1. Richard Fairbrass from Right Said Fred: Tim Roney / Getty Images
