Zac Hanson Net Worth $20 million
Zac Hanson is the youngest son of Diana and Walker Hanson. Although born in Arlington, Virginia, he grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma where his mother home-schooled him. His interest in music dates back to his very early years when he discovered his father’s rock ‘n’ roll albums collection. Alongside his elder brothers, Taylor and Isaac, Zac formed a band, and the trio began performing wherever and whenever they got the chance – parties, fairs and even café parking lots. In 1992, Zac and his two brothers officially founded the band – The Hanson Brothers, later renamed simply as Hanson. The brothers recorded and independently released “Boomerang”, their demo album in 1994, and later that year, they were performing at the Southwest music festival where they “caught the ear” of Christopher Sabec, a music lawyer. Subsequently he became the band’s manager, and linked them to Mercury Records’ producer Steven Greenberg. The rest is history.
Prior to signing their contract with Mercury Records, Hanson released another independent album “MMMBop” in 1996. In 1997, their first studio album “Middle of Nowhere” hit the charts, featuring the hit single “MMMBop” which peaked at #1 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album was quickly rated platinum, bringing Zac and his brothers a Grammy Award nomination. This accomplishment has written the name of Zac Hanson into the history of music, as he is the second youngest Grammy Award nominee ever (the first place is held by Michael Jackson). It is certain that all these ventures massively increased Zac Hanson’s popularity as well as his overall net worth.
In the course of the next several years, Hanson released two more albums under the label of Mercury Records – “Snowed In”(1997), and “3 Car Garage”(1998). Later they transferred to Island Def Jam and Universal under which they released “This Time Around”(2000) which was certified gold. In 2003, Zac Hanson and his two brothers founded an independent record label – 3CG Records (acronym for 3 Car Garage), and Hanson have released four studio albums through their own label so far, including “Underneath”(2004), “The Walk”(2007), “Shout It Out”(2010) and “Anthem (2013). All these albums and plenty of other compilations have brought millions to the overall net worth of Zac Hanson.
When it comes to his personal life, Zac Hanson has been married to Kathryn Tucker since 2006, and they have two sons and two daughters.
