Björn Ulvaeus is one of the most legendary artists worldwide. He is part of the iconic group ABBA, which has released countless pieces of music over the past decades. The group later harvested the fruits of its labors thanks to several projects related to the band. Let's take a look at the singer's earnings and net worth, especially after his nearly one million payout earlier this year.
Born Björn Kristian Ulvaeus on April 25, 1945, in Gothenburg, the musician is now 79. His family later moved to Västervik, Kalmar County.
Before he became popular, he was a member of the band Hootenanny Singers, which has many fans around Scandinavia. He continued his work with the group and toured with them consistently.
Later, Ulvaeus decided to establish a group with Benny Anderson, Agnetha Fältskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, which they called ABBA. They later joined the Eurovision Song Contest with their song "Waterloo."
ABBA became one of the biggest bands ever as DW reported that they sold over 400 million records and have 17 number-one hits like their famous songs "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme," "Thank You For The Music," and many more.

Decades after ABBA's success, he established a music investment company called Pophouse, which is responsible for creating a live avatar version of the band.
