Annie Lennox was born on Christmas Day to Thomas Allison Lennox and Dorothy. She attended Aberdeen High School for Girls, after which, in the 1970s she enrolled at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studied the piano, harpsichord and flute for three years. While there, Annie was a member of several bands, including Windsong. Thanks to her accomplishments during studies, she was made an Honorary Fellow by the academy in 2006, as well as a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in the same year.

In 1977 she became a singer for the band The Tourists, which was her first collaboration with Dave Stewart. Three years later, The Tourists disbanded, and Lennox and Stewart started their own synth-pop duo, called The Eurhythmics. The duo existed for 10 years, before they decided to go their separate ways, and during that time they released eight albums, such as “In The Garden” (1981), “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These” (1983), “1984 (For the Love of Big Brother)” (1984), “Revenge” (1986), “Savage” (1987), and “We Too Are One” (1989). The albums were extremely popular, achieving platinum status several times, which increased Annie`s net worth by a large margin. The albums spawned such single hits as “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)”, “Here Comes the Rain Again”, “”There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)”, “You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart”, “The Miracle of Love”, and numerous others, which reached No. 1 on the US and other charts.

After the two parted, Annie started a career of her own, so far releasing six studio albums, the sales of which have also added to her net worth.

Her second solo album, entitled “Medusa”, was released in 1995, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and it is her best-selling album so far, with sales of more than six million around the world. It reached double platinum status in the US, UK, and Canada, which increased Annie`s net worth by a large margin.

After “Medusa”, Annie`s popularity started to decline, however, her albums, including “Bare” (2003), “A Christmas Cornucopia” (2007), and her latest album “Nostalgia” (2014), still reached gold status, increasing further her net worth.Thanks to her successful career, Annie has received several prestigious awards and nominations, including four Grammy awards, and eight Brit awards.

Previously, she was married to Radha Raman from 1984 to 1985, and Uri Fruchtmann from 1988 to 2000, with whom she has three children.
