Agnetha Fältskog is a Swedish singer and songwriter who has a net worth of $200 million. She is best known for her work with the Swedish pop group sensation ABBA, although she had released a successful debut solo album prior to joining this group. During her time with ABBA, Fältskog became an international sensation along with the other members, releasing a number of hit songs and selling over 180 million albums and singles worldwide. ABBA eventually went on an indefinite hiatus in the 80s, prompting Agnetha to continue with her music career as a solo artist.

Outside of her musical career, Fältskog also pursued a successful career as an actress. Eventually, however, she ventured away from the public limelight and pursued a more sheltered lifestyle. After 16 years of living the quiet life on the Swedish island of Ekerö, Agnetha returned with a new album in 2004. She then followed up in 2013 with a second album, which charted very well in the United Kingdom.
