5. Ron Bard – $1 Million

Headlining as a “psychic to the stars”, Ron Bard is no stranger to the psychic world.  The son of famous psychic Yolana Bard, also known as New York’s “Queen of the Psychics”.  Bard says he only reluctantly became a psychic after his mother discovered that he had a gift. Bard, the first – and only – psychic to have been featured in Forbes magazine -has a clientèle base that includes celebrities such as Brad Pitt and Kelsey Grammer. His job also includes assisting Japanese authorities in solving crimes through his psychic abilities.  Between his varied clientèle and appearances in Japanese media, the once homeless Bard is doing well financially with a net worth of over $1 million.  He remains heavily involved with the country of Japan and is a public advocate of the country.

4. Theresa Caputo – $1 – 10 Million

While her claims of having psychic abilities have been consistently challenged, that hasn’t stopped Theresa Caputo from hitting commercial success with her TLC show, “Long Island Medium”.  She’s most commonly criticized for approaching random strangers in public on her show and using the technique of “cold reading” to convince bystanders that she has legitimate abilities.  Caputo has about as almost as many critics as she has fans, but there’s no doubt that she’s able to wow people with her gift.  Since the première of Long Island Medium in 2011, Caputo has become one of the most sought-after psychics in the world, with sold-out shows in huge venues.  There are thousands who believe in her abilities and continue to book private readings with her – which, of course, cost a pretty penny – and they seem to outweigh the naysayers who continue to look for more skeletons in her closet to discredit her. The Long Island Medium is well into its forth season, and Caputo’s networth has been estimated at anywhere between $1 million and $10 million.

3. Derren Brown – $7.5 Million

This one is a bit of a wild card; Englishman Derren Brown, who conducts large-scale illusions, magic shows and psychic medium readings, has readily admitted he’s a total fraud. He doesn’t believe in the psychic industry, and would likely be the first to talk out against his compatriots on this list. Derren uses a range of trickery, behavioural analysis and body language to convince his audience and his unsuspecting victims that something metaphysical is going on. He made his admirable fortune through several TV series in the UK, hugely successful touring shows, and books.

2. Uri Geller – $10 Million

1. Sylvia Browne – $70 Million

The recently deceased Sylvia Browne has left behind a tremendous legacy of success, heartache, controversy, and accomplishments.  She commonly made appearances on the Montel Williams Show and Larry King Live, and authored several books about explorations into psychic abilities as well as covering new age and metaphysical topics. Browne’s very public psychic predictions put her at risk of public scrutiny, and ridicule whenever her predictions turned out to be incorrect.  Her most controversial case was when she informed the mother of Amanda Berry that her daughter was dead, which proved later to be false when Berry was found in 2013 – but tragically, Berry’s mother died two years prior believing that her daughter was dead.  However, regardless of the controversy, Sylvia Browne’s books and public appearances netted her a huge fortune. While claims as to the exact amount of her wealth vary, the most generation reported estimation comes in at $70 million. It seems that a sixth sense can pay well – when combined with a good business sense, at least.
