George Roger Waters was born on 6 September 1943, in Great Bookham, Surrey England. He is a popular musician, composer and songwriter. Roger is rightly famous for being one of the founding members of the group called “Pink Floyd”, as well as for his solo career. During his career, Roger with Pink Floyd has been nominated for and has won different awards, including Grammy Award, Radio Music Award, MTV Video Music Award and others. ”Pink Floyd” were even included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Although he is now over 70 years old, he still continues his career as a musician, and surprises his fans by creating new songs.
So how rich is Roger Waters? It is estimated by authorititive sources that Roger’s net worth is $270 million, having gained this huge sum of money through his long career of almost 50 years as a musician. Performing with the “Pink Floyd” and releasing his solo albums are the main sources of Roger Waters’ net worth. There is no doubt that as long as Roger will create music, he will have fans all over the world. That is why there is a high chance that Roger’s net worth will become higher. Let’s hope that we will be able to listen to his music for a long time.
Roger Waters Net Worth $270 Million
When Roger was young, he did not think about a musician’s career. He participated in various sports and even wanted to become an engineer. Despite his attempts to study, soon he lost interest and, in 1965 he and his friends Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Nick Mason, created the band which became known as “Pink Floyd”, and is recognized as one of the most innovative and influential bands of the rock era. Roger not only played the guitar in this band, but also wrote almost every song in their first studio album, which was called “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”, and was released in 1967. This album made Roger’s net worth grow. Later “Pink Floyd” released many albums, the most significant of which were “The Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall” and “The Final Cut”, which brought them worldwide success and considerable wealth. Although “Pink Floyd” ostensibly took a break from 1994, they reunited in 2012. In 2014 they released their so far last album, called “The Endless River”. Maybe they will reunite again in the near future and release more albums.
As mentioned, Roger Waters is also known for his solo career. In 1984 he released his first solo album called “The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking”. This album had a considerable impact on the growth of Roger’s net worth. Later he released two more albums: “Amused to Death” and “Radio K.A.O.S”. As Roger still performs, there is a high chance that he will release more solo albums. Undoubtedly, his fans are waiting for his new projects and will, of course, support him as long as they can.
If to talk about Roger Waters’ personal life, it can be said that in 1969 Water married Judy Trim, but they divorced in 1975. One year later, Roger married Lady Carolyne Christie, with whom he has two children. Unfortunately, this marriage also ended in divorce. In 2012 Roger married Laurie Durning and maybe this marriage will last longer. Finally, Roger Waters is one of the most experienced and popular musicians of all time. It is really great that he is still able to continue his career and enjoy what he is doing. He will probably do this as long as he can and his fans will always admire him.
