$25 Million

Fabiano Anthony Forte was born on the 6th February 1943, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and is an actor as well as a singer, most famous for appearing in movies such as “North to Alaska” (1960) and “The Longest Day” (1962) as well as in TV series including “A Lion Walks Among Us” and “The Wild West” for which he was rewarded with a prestigious Primetime Emmy award.

Have you ever wondered how much wealth this singer-turned-actor has accumulated so far? How rich Fabian Forte is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Fabian Forte’s net worth, as of mid-2017, exceeds the sum of $25 million, acquired through his career in the entertainment industry which is now spanning almost 60 years, since 1959.

Fabian Forte Net Worth $25 million

Fabian was born as the eldest of three sons of Dominic and Josephine Forte, and apart from American is also of Italian ancestry. Fabian was discovered when he was only 14 years old – sitting in front of his house, watching an ambulance taking away his father suffering a heart attack, he was approached by Bob Marcucci, a co-owner of Chancellor Records who offered him a deal. With his father no longer able to work, Fabian was somehow coerced into the entertainment business. Featuring a pompadour, white bucks and fancy V-necks, Fabian quickly became a sensation, officially debuting with “Shivers” which became an instant hit in Chicago’s club circuit, providing the basis for Fabian Forte’s net worth.

This was followed by several other hit singles such as “I’m a Man”, “Turn Me Loose” as well as “Tiger” which peaked on No.3 on the US Chart, and was certified gold, selling over a million copies. Fabian’s debut studio album “Hold That Tiger” was also a huge commercial success, and brought him The Promising Male Vocalist of 1958 award. All these achievements added a significant sum of $250,000 annually to Fabian Forte’s net worth. However, at the age of 18, Fabian bought out his record contract from Chancellor Records for $65,000 and, basically, put an end to his music career, turning himself towards acting.

As a teen idol and rockstar, Fabian signed a long term contract with 20th Century Fox, and debuted as an actor in 1959, starring as the main character in the “Hound-Dog Man” comedy movie. This was followed by appearances in the 1960 highly popular movies “High Time” and “North to Alaska”, and Fabian then went on to appear in “A Lion Walks Among Us” episode of the “Bus Stop” TV series, playing a psychotic killer for which he receiveincredibly positive critics reviews. Through the 1960s, Fabian appeared in several hit movies such as “The Longest Day” (1962), “Dear Brigitte” and “Ten Little Indians” both in 1965, and also in popular sitcoms including “Wagon Train” and “The Eleventh Hour”. All these engagements gave a huge boost to Fabian’s wealth.

In 1968, Fabian starred in the racing car drama movie “The Wild Racers” which, although being poorly received by the critics, over the years became a cult film among the fans. Under constant pressure because of his fame, he began drinking in the late 1960s, but in 1973 Fabian returned to singing, and in order to boost his decreasing popularity, he posed naked for Playgirl. Things went downhill for Fabian, as he faced law problems with authorities, and even claimed bankruptcy in the mid-1970s. All these situations made a drastic impact on his net worth.

In 1977, he retired from music again, returning to acting and in 1980 he appeared in one episode of the “Fantasy Island” TV series. Although he never managed to reclaim his past fame, he continued to act and through the 1980s and 1990s appeared in TV series such as “Movie Macabre”, “Rags to Riches” and “Murphy Brown”. In 1999, Fabian Forte was featured in the Andy Wolk’ biographical drama “Mr. Rock ‘n’ Roll: The Alan Freed Story”, and since then he has appeared as himself in several TV movies and documentaries including “Biography”, “Charlie Gracie Fabulous” and “Airplay: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio”. Doubtlessly, all these achievements have helped Fabian Forte to add a significant sum to the total of his net worth.

When it comes to his personal life, Fabian Forte has married three times – between 1966 and 1975 he was married to Kathleen Regan with whom he has two children. In 1990 Fabian divorced from Kate Netter whom he married in 1980. Since 1998 he has been married to Andrea Patrick, and with his wife, Fabian resides on 20-acre lot in his home town, and is actively involved with the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association.

Joshua Scott “JC” Chasez, also known as JC Chasez, Big Daddy or J. C. Chasez is a white American who was born on August 8 1976 in Washington, United States of America, but he was raised in Bowie, Maryland after he was adopted by Roy and Karen Chasez when Joshua’s biological mother entrusted care of him at the age of 5. Chasez has never known his biological father and he seems not to have any plans to search for him. So JC Chasez grew-up in his new family with a younger brother Tyler and a sister Heather. As a child he attended Robert Goddart Middle School and always loved dancing during school years.

JC Chasez Net Worth $30 Million

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.

Gotye Net Worth

Wouter “Wally” De Backer was born 21 May 1980, in Bruges, Belgium, and under the stage name of Gotye, he is now known around the world as an outstanding instrumentalist and singer, having reached #1 on the US Billboard chart, and winning five Aria Awards.

So just how rich is Goyte? Sources estimate that currently he has a net worth of $1.5 million, accumulated during a career in the music industry which has so far spanned not much over 10 years.

Gotye Net Worth $1.5 Million

Gotye started his musical career at early age. He spent all of his childhood in Australia (the family moved away from Belgium when he was only two years old), and started learning to play various musical instruments at school in Sydney. He met some like-minded young teens and they started a school band called Downstares; one of the band members, Lucas Taranto, still plays in Gotye’s live shows. After another relocation, this time to Melbourne, where the artist finished his Bachelor of Arts, he received an old record collection from a neighbor, and from that point in 2001, his career started picking up.

Goyte recorded his first tracks primarily using samples, designed the cover of the CD himself, and made 50 copies. He sent them to more or less influential radio stations around the country, and made ‘phone calls to make sure they were received. However, a solo career was a while coming, and hasn’t been the only way to fill Gotye’s pockets. Since 2002, Gotye has been a member of indie pop band called “The Basics”, who have released three studio albums along with many other recordings and singles. This, of course, has notably contributed to the artist’s net worth. It is important to mention that Gotye’s vocal abilities are often compared to those of Sting and Peter Gabriel.

As they say, money do not come as easily and quickly as we would wish. Only in 2011, when Gotye released a single called Somebody That I Used to Know which made him a world known star, has his income started reaching those dreams. As mentioned before, the single reached the first place of the Billboard Hot 100 charts and made him famous all over the globe. Gotye as a solo artist has released three studio albums so far. As a strong believer of the indie movement, he never signed contracts with any record label, the albums were released independently. In addition to the three albums, Gotye has released an album combined of remixes of songs written in his early career. The money received from selling the mentioned albums skyrocketed to the overall amount of Gotye net worth.

Gotye is now considered to be one of the most successful musicians of today, as in his adopted Australia he managed to become the fifth artist to reach first place in the Billboard Hot 100 and the second artist from his native Belgium (we compare so because the artist is half- Australian, half- Belgian). Not only is he a great singer, but also a world renowned multi- instrumentalist. He is the best at playing the piano and the drums though.

Money makes the world go round, but acceptance is nice too. Goyte has received five ARIA awards – having been nominated for seven in 2011 alone – as well as three Grammy awards. The three Grammy awards were received at the same ceremony, the 55th Annual Grammy Awards to which the singer’s reaction was: “I often feel more of a tinkerer, less of a musician”.

Little is known of Goyte’s private life, but outside music he is interested in politics, even rumoured to be considering standing for the Victorian parliament. For the sake of his many fans, we can hope that he prefers to continue his music career, full time.
