    In honor of Pride Month, which recently concluded in June, we bring you a list of some of the wealthiest people from the LGBTQ+ community in the world. These people have been very vocal about their individuality and have never shied away from supporting the community.

    Despite all odds, they have emerged at the top of their fields, with up to billions of dollars in net worth. 

    Pride Month 

    Every June, members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies celebrate Pride Month. This beautiful month-long celebration commemorates the historic accomplishments, struggles, and contributions of the community to the world at large.

    One of these many achievements is becoming wealthy millionaires and billionaires. Here are 11 members of the LGBTQ+ community who have reached great milestones in their careers by making a fortune. 

    Sir Elton John 

    Elton John is a musical phenomenon and a great member of the LGBTQ+ community. John has been with his partner, David Furnish, for almost 30 years! He started his musical journey in England and was instantly famous for his outrageous and flashy costumes, with a net worth of $81 million.

    Ellen DeGeneres

    Famous standup comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is worth about $450 million and is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. She married Petra de Rossi in 2008, and they have been together ever since.

    Stein Erik Hagen 

    Stein Erik Hagen is the ninth wealthiest person in Norway, according to Kapital, a popular business magazine. He is worth about $2.3 billion, and his wealth comes from the supermarket chain Rimi, which he founded with his father in the 70s.

    He is bisexual and came out in 2015 on “Skavaln,” one of Norway’s biggest talk shows. According to Hagen, he has always been bisexual but didn’t understand it fully until well into his adulthood. 

    Domenico Dolce 

    Domenico Dolce is one-half of the world’s famous fashion brand, Dolce and Gabbana, and is worth $2.3 billion. The duo started their fashion brand in 1985 and soon became famous for their beautiful designs with animal prints. During an interview with Corriere della Sera in 2017, Dolce noted that he was tired of being called “gay” all the time.

    He believed people invented the word to label people, but he didn’t like that. He wanted to be identified by his talent and work and not by his sexuality.

    Although they are exes, they still share an inseparable bond that cannot be broken. They still own the company and design together even though they are no longer romantically involved. 

    Jon Stryker 

    Jon Stryker’s grandfather founded Stryker Corp., a giant medical supply company that has sold billions of equipment over the years. One of the heirs to the family fortune is Jon, a philanthropist who always donates money to charities and scholarships. 

    Jon Stryker

    According to Forbes, he has given away more than $700 million to charitable causes, which is still worth $5.3 billion. He is also the founder of the Arcus Foundation, a charity dedicated to fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and ape conservation. 

    Peter Thiel

    David Geffen

    In 1994, he co-founded DreamWorks Film Studio with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, which became one of the world’s most successful film studios. He is worth about $8.1 billion and is an openly gay man who takes pride in his identity. 

    Giorgio Armani
