Net worth...
Usually, when I research musicians I check to see their 'net worth' listing and always surprised by my findings. There are times where I shake my head and say "Where do they get these numbers from?"Grace Slick, singer for Jefferson Airplane estimated $20 Million
I believe that's an exaggeration. Old rock stars weren't paid high salaries.
Bobby Caldwell singer, songwriter, composer with credits of dozens of artists recording his hits is listed at $8 Million from celebritynetworth.com
Only $8 million?? Dude, you've got the wrong manager. Peter Cetera (who sings your songs) clocks in at $40 Million.
Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac listed at $120 Million. 50 year career with lots of hits songs, touring, solo and duet ventures. Believable she earned that and only 20% of it was spent on cocaine.
Christine McVie, singer and keyboardist for Fleetwood Mac. $105 Million.
Mick Fleetwood, drummer and co-founder of Fleetwood Mac having sold more than 120 million records only has $30 Million. Forget about touring money... if he earned 50 cents for every album, he would have made $60 Million.
Something wrong with the math here. Mick too low and Christine too high.
Frankie Banali, drummer of heavy metal band Quiet Riot listed at $10 Million at the time of his death. I remember somewhere around $30 Million 5 or 6 years ago. QR was performing over 30 gigs a year. He was paid to do studio recordings for other acts.
Robert Trujillo, bassist who joined Metallica 18 years ago is listed at $30 Million.
That's $1.6 million per year. It was mentioned on his audition he would receive a signing bonus of $1 Million. Pretty steep, but Metallica were sitting on their a$$es when Jason Newsted left. Jason is listed at $60 Million.
Paul Stanley of KISS, $200 Million.
Gene Simmons, $400 Million.
Prince estimate between $200 - $300 Million at the time of his death.
I haven't qualified this, but I believe Paul McCartney with a net worth of $1.2 Billion is one of the richest musicians in the world!
