Gavin Rossdale Net Worth $35 Million
Gavin Rossdale was born to parents of Russian-Jewish (father) and Scottish (mother) descent. His childhood was not exactly a dream, because unfortunately his parents divorced when he was eleven years old. He has two sisters, Soraya and Lorraine. His mother remarried and has one daughter from that marriage, Rossdale`s half-sister Georgina Rossdale-Smith, who is a doctor. He left school when he was 17 years old to pursue his music career, forming the band called Midnight. They managed to produce a few singles in 1991, but had no major success. After that, Rossdale moved to Los Angeles and later NYC in order to expand his career. He stayed there for six months, and made contact with Dave Dorrell, who would later become the manager for Rossdale`s future band Bush.
In 1994 Bush made its debut, releasiing the album Sixteen Stone which was a major success, propelling the whole crew, and especially Rossdale into the world of fame. Following that, the band toured through the USA, booking major arenas. Nevertheless, despite success in the USA, the band wasn`t accepted that well in England, mostly because critics were comparing Rossdale to Kurt Cobain and whole style of his music. Needless is to say that Rossdale didn’t pay attention to those remarks, and continued working with the band. They produced several more platinum selling records, Razorblade Suitcase, Deconstructed and The Science of Things, before the break-up in 2002. Luckily in 2010 the band reunited and produced another album, Sea of Memories, released in 2011. These periods contributed significantly to Rossdale’s net worth
In between, Rossdale embarked on a solo career as a musician, and as an actor. His first and only solo album was WANDERlust in 2008; and he was a guest vocalist on the song End of Me, which is performed by Apocalyptica.
Overall, Gavin Rossdale`s career has been quite successful, receiving an Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy in 2013 for International Achievement.
Rossdale`s acting career also added to his net worth, as he was involved in films like “Constantine” (2005), “How to Rob a Bank” (2008), and most recently he appeared in “The Bling Ring” (2014).
Regarding his personal life, Rossdale stated that his childhood had a strong effect on him, and he keeps his personal life to himself, not wanting to make a fuss out of it. In 2002 he married Gwen Stefani, singer of the ska punk band No Doubt, who he met in 1995 on a tour, and the couple has three sons. Unfortunately, Stefani filed for divorce in August 2015.
