Stephen Marley Net Worth $20 million

Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Marley is the son of Rita Marley and the late reggae artist, Bob Marley. Even though he has plenty of siblings from both parents, they all grew up knowing each other, and his big family eventually became the starting point of his career.

With his father’s background and strong influence in music, Marley and his siblings were eventually introduced to the art as well. His career started at a young age when, together with his sisters Cedella and Sharon, and brother Ziggy, he recorded the song “Children Playing in the Streets”; written by his father, the song aimed to shine a light on the poor living conditions of children in their towns in Jamaica. The proceeds of the song were then given to the United Nations Children Fund to help the organization’s cause. Although the song was meant to help the charity, it also paved the way for Marley’s career and his siblings.

The four Marleys decided to form a band named Melody Makers and went on to record their first album in 1985 entitled “Play the Game Right”. Unfortunately the debut album failed to perform well in the charts, but it did start-off their professional career, and net worth.

Disregarding their first album’s performance, Marley and his siblings released their second album “Hey World” the following year, and it achieved success compared to the first one. The band then decided to change their name to Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, and also changed their music style to reach more fans. In 1988, they released their third album “Conscious Party” and it became a huge success, going on to win the band’s first Grammy Award and increasing their net worth. Their following albums including “One Bright Day” and “Babylon is Fallen” were also well-received by fans, and ended up winning awards. After the ‘90s the band decided to break-up and go their separate ways.

While on a break from the music industry, Marley worked in the background and helped his other brother, Damian, with his own album by becoming its producer. This move also increased his wealth.

In 2005, Marley went back to performing, and became a solo artist. Some of the albums he has released include “Got Milk?”, “Mind Control” and “Revalation Pt.1 – The Root of Life” that helped his net worth and also garnered him more Grammy Words.

Today, Marley is still active in the music industry. He recently released an album entitled “Revelation Pt. 2 – The Fruit of Life”.

In terms of his personal life, Marley was married to Kertia DeCosta-Marley and together they have 13 children.

Published

on

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.

Neal Schon Net Worth

Published

on

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.
