Jay Park Net Worth $500,000
Park started developing interest in breakdancing and hip-hop music at a young age. He attended Edmonds Woodway High School, where he spent most of his free time practicing dance. Eventually, he started learning raps and would become one of the first members of Art of Movement (AOM). After his mother noticed his passion for dance, she suggested that Jay audition at JYP Entertainment. In 2005, he went to Korea to learn the language and improve his skills, eventually completing his education at Dankook University.
Park first appeared in a documentary-style reality show entitled “Hot Blood Men”. He finished in the top spot, and became the leader of the group 2PM. In September 2008 they released their first song “10 Out of 10”, and it led to the mini-album “Hottest Time of the Day”. He also worked with Yeeun from the Wonder Girls on the original soundtrack of the television show “Conspiracy in the Court”. Jay would continue making stage performances with the band and would find himself as a regular cast member of several programs including “Star King” and “Nodaji”. His net worth ws now well established.
In 2009, Korean media discovered Park’s old MySpace account which had made negative comments about the country. This sparked an outrage and many fans demanded that he step down from the group. Despite JYP Entertainment defending him, he stepped down and decided to go back to the United States; 2PM would continue with the remaining six members, and they released an album entitled “1:59PM” as a tribute to Park, hoping that he would return to the group someday.
Eventually South Korea changed their perspective on Jay, especially since the comments on his MySpace account were heavily mistranslated. He was being set-up to return to 2PM, but JYP suddenly terminated his contract, sparking a boycott on 2PM products. Protests for his return took place, and he would then start his own YouTube channel entitled jayparkaom. His first upload went viral and reached over two million views within 24 hours, and the song would reach the top of various music sites. He would continue to release covers and songs that found success in Korea, and also make regular appearances with Art of Movement, mostly performing on stage. His popularity and net worth continued to increase, as he was also getting endorsements from several companies.
During the filming of the movie “Hype Nation”, he returned to South Korea and drew a very large crowd. He then signed with SidusHQ and started to work on albums, collaborations and films, winning numerous awards leading to the release of the mini-album “Take a Deeper Look”. His albums started to chart internationally to, and Jay would soon travel to the United States to perform again. He also started to compose songs for other artists, working with U-KISS, Tiny-G, and Younha. He then released his first full-length album entitled “New Breed”, and became featured in magazines including Men’s Health Korea. After numerous projects, he was chosen as a dance master for the television show “Dancing 9” which he would win, and afterwards released his second full-length album “Evolution”.
For his personal life, it is known that Jay struggled during his first few years in Korea and almost decided to quit his pursuit of an entertainment career. There is no published information on his private life.

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.
