Brother and sister duo Richard and Karen Carpenter formed their own little musical ensemble. The two of them comprised The Carpenters – aptly named after themselves. They first performed in 1965 and by 1969 were signed to A&M Records. They saw incredible success and wealth, with Richard being worth an estimated $10 million. The happy tale didn’t end well for Karen though. While they were abundant with earnings and an ever-growing fan base, Karen suffered from anorexia, an eating disorder little was known about at the time. This ultimately led to her suffering a heart failure at the age of 32 which killed her.
