Amy Lee (Singer) Net Worth $12 million
To begin with, Amy Lee grew up in a very musical family; her father, John Lee, was a member of a band called The Hard Luck Band, but as he also worked on the radio, the family had to move often, including to Kansas City, Missouri and West Palm Beach, Florida. When Lee was six years old, her younger sister died, to whom Amy later dedicated two of her songs – “Hello” and “Like You”.
Concerning her professional career, Amy Lee with Ben Moody founded the band Evanescence – the two met in a youth camp while Lee was singing the song “I’d Do Anything for Love (but I Will not Do That)” by Meat Loaf. Afterwards, the two sang in Arkansas bookshops and cafes, before recording two EPs: “Evanescence” (1998) and then “Sound Asleep” (1999). Moreover, the band released an album “Origin” in 2000 with the help of an unknown label, and were subsequently offered a record deal with Wind Up Records. Evanescence’s first album “Fallen” (2003) managed to sell more 17 million copies worldwide, and singles from the album – “My Immortal”, “Going Under” and “Bring Me To Life” – were also successful all over the world. In addition to commercial success, Lee won two Grammy Awards in 2003. Lee is now the only original member of Evanescence, as Moody resigned from the band in 2004, and was replaced by Terry Balsamo. There have been other maneuvers since then. Evanescence released its new album “The Open Door” in 2006. After releasing the album and the subsequent tour, Lee had a break from Evanescence because she wanted to concentrate on other issues such as marriage and visual arts. Amy has admitted that she was discontinuing the band at that time.
Evanescence came back in 2011 and released the album “Evanescence” – in 2014, Lee filed a lawsuit against Evanescence’s Wind-up Records for unpaid copyright claims. The company failed to pay $1.5 million to the band. Soon, Lee announced that Evanescence’s record deal with Wind-up Records has been cancelled, and she was free to do what she wants, with the band or otherwise.
Recently, she released an English cover of Francesca Michielin’s “L’amore esiste”, produced by Guy Sigsworth, and Dave Eggar contributed the arrangement of strings. In 2017, the song “Speak to Me” was released, which was also a closing track of the film “Voice from the Stone”.
Finally, in the personal life of a singer, Lee married therapist Josh Hartzler in 2007, and they have one child.

Today JC Chasez is mainly known as an American boy band ‘N Sync member, occasional actor, singer, dancer and songwriter. Today he has a net worth of $30 million, But Joshua’s first steps in his future career weren’t so notable for the rest of the world. As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.
The first real success came for Chasez after the formatIon of a band called ‘N Sync which has become extremely popular in the USA and Europe from 2000. Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”. This was one of the biggest investments in Joshua’s net worth, but the band have licensed their likenesses and released microphones, lip balm, marionettes, books, key chains, cloths and video games with their emblem. The band has also been dealing with McDonalds, Chilli’s Grill & Bar. In 2009 N’Sync was even immortalized in wax In New York’s Madame Tussaunds museum and can be seen there until today. N’Sync members acheived not only worldwide recognition after releasing their albums and singles, but also earned huge amounts of money from live performances and different merchandise.
Since 2002 JC Chasez has tried several different aspects of the entertainment industry – he has written songs, produced records, danced and even appeared in some movies. His most notable appearances were in a movie called “21 and a Wake-Up”, where he played Dr. Tom Dury, in “Killer Movie” as Ted Buckley, in “Longshot” as a pizzeria worker, and in “Greetings from Tucson” as Jay Dugray. But mostly he has become known as a singer, because after leaving ‘N Sync he started his own solo career and released his first solo single “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” in 2002. JC Chasez’s debut album “Schizophrenic” appeared in 2004 and was able to take 17th chart position in the US and 46th position in the United Kingdom.
Unfortunately, nowadays JC Chasez’s career isn’t as successful as it was 10 years ago. His last released solo album “The Story of Kate” in 2007 didn’t appear in any charts, and since then JC Chasez has just made appearances in some other albums as a guest. He was talking about ‘N Sync reunion in 2011, but until today this ambition has not come to fruition.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
