A Saudi-born singer named Mohammed Abdo is worth $20 million.
In June 1949, Mohammed Abdo was born in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
“The Artist of Arabs” is the title he bestows upon the Middle East, where he is widely recognized.
Abdo’s sixth-grade education led to him working in a market selling candy and nuts.
Mohammed began singing at weddings while working at a post office. However, he stopped singing after his mother’s death in 1989.
During a National Day celebration in 1997, Abdo performed for Saudi audiences.
He established his own record label, Voice of Al-Jazeera, and endeavored to chronicle the old practice through his albums Chaabyat.
Abdo began his performance by singing religious chants and anasheeds.
In addition to his singing, he performs the oud, a stringed instrument shaped like a pear.
