Geoff Tate Net Worth $10 Million
Geoff Tate was raised with two siblings by his father, Perry, and his mother, Ella. Although he was born in Germany, he spent his childhood in Tacoma, Washington, where his family moved after his birth. There he attended Wilson High School, from which he matriculated in 1977. Before Queensrÿche was founded, Geoff was a part of several bands, including Mob, Babylon, and Myth. With the Mob, he recorded a demo tape, and wrote lyrics for the song, which would turn out to be “The Lady Wore Black”, and sent the tape to several record labels. They also changed their name to Queensrÿche, and their tape was released as an EP by the 206 Records label. Soon Geoff and the rest of the Queensrÿche signed a contract with EMI records, and their EP was re-released. In 1984 the band released their debut full-length album, entitled “The Warning”, which reached No. 61 on the US Billboard 200 chart and achieved gold status, which only increased Geoff`s net worth and encouraged him and the band to continue to work together.
Just two years later they released their second album, “Rage for Order”, which was a bit more successful than their debut accomplishment, reaching No. 41 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and also achieving golden status. Before the ‘80s ended, Queensrÿche released their third album, entitled “Operation: Mindcrime”, which spawned such hits as “Eyes of a Stranger”, “I Don’t Believe in Love”, and “Breaking the Silence”, among others, which helped album sales which eventually reached more than a million sold copies. The band continued successfully into the ‘90s, releasing one of their most prominent albums, entitled “Empire”; the album reached No. 7 om the US Billboard chart, while it achieved triple platinum status, increasing Geoff`s net worth by a large margin. The album featured such hits as “Silent Lucidity”, “Jet City Woman”, and “Anybody Listening”.
In 1994 their next album came out, entitled “Promise Land”, and became their best charted album reaching No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and achieving platinum status. However, after the “Promised Land”, their popularity began to decline, and the albums “Hear in the Now Frontier” (1997), “Q2K” (1999), and “Tribe” (2003), were nowhere near the popularity of previous albums. In 2006 they lit the spark with the album “Operation: Mindcrime II”, and again in 2009 with the “American Solder”, which spawned the hits “I’m American”, and “Man Down!”, among others. Their last album, before Geoff was fired, came out in 2011, under the title “Dedicated to Chaos”, and it was one of their worst albums, reaching only No. 70 on the US Billboard 200 chart and sales of around 20,000.
Following his dismissal from Queensrÿche, Geoff and his wife Susan, sued the rest of the members for the rights of the band. Until the suit was settled, Geoff performed under the name Queensrÿche featuring Geoff Tate, with Kelly Gray, Robert Sarzo, Rudy Sarzo, Simon Wright, Randy Gane, Jason Slater, Paul Bostaph and others that helped him record the album “Frequency Unknown” in 2013, which was released through Deadline records label. However, he lost the suit, and had to change the name of his band. He continued under the name Operation: Mindcrime, consisting of Kelly Gray, John Moyer, Simon Wright, Brian Tichy, Randy Gane and Scott Moughton. So far, he has released two albums “The Key” in 2015, and “Resurrection” in 2016, the sales of which have also added a considerable amount to his net worth.
If to talk about his personal life, Geoff Tate has been married to Susan since 1996. Previously, he was married to Sue (1990-1996). He is the father of four daughters. In free time, he enjoys sailing and motorcycling.

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.

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.

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.
