Céline recorded “My Heart Will Go On” with René’s help
Céline Dion’s most popular song is “My Heart Will Go On.” It featured in James Cameron’s Titanic and became a popular non-pop tune. It’s won Best Original Song, Record of the Year, etc. James Cameron sought a theme tune for Titanic. Céline Dion didn’t want to record the song and considered bailing. René, her husband and manager, persuaded her to sing the demo. Céline reportedly recorded the song in one take, and it was great. René helped the picture become an iconic cult classic. It made Céline Dion one of the world’s most famous and appreciated singers. Audiences still demand to hear it at her live appearances, waving their phones and singing along.
She’s worth almost $700 million
Céline Dion’s net worth is over $700 million, while others say it’s closer to $800 million. She’s one of the world’s richest singers despite being born into a destitute home with 14 siblings. She’s sold over 200 million CDs, performed tens of thousands of live gigs (and still does), and started several businesses. She became a worldwide phenomenon after becoming one of Canada’s most popular vocalists. She does two programmes a week, promotes businesses and organisations, and spends time with her family and children. Céline became sole owner and president of her management and production companies after René’s death. Her fortune allowed her to help various causes, including Hurricane Katrina victims. She apparently has over $100 million in mansions and apartments.
