Bob Dylan Net Worth $180 Million
During his years in high school, Bob Dylan was a member of several bands, such as ‘The Shadow Blasters’ and ‘The Golden Chords’. In 1959, Dylan moved to study at the University of Minnesota, during which period his initial interest in rock’n’roll gave way to American folk music. At that time he began to use his adopted name, but also other pseudonyms such as Elston Gunn, Blind Boy Grunt, Bob Landy, Robert Milkwood Thomas, Tedham Porterhouse, Lucky/Boo Wilbury, Jack Frost and Sergei Petrov, and collaborated with several bands. In 1962, Bob Dylan released his first self-titled album, which featured folk standards and two original compositions, ‘Talkin’ New York’ and ‘Song to Woody’. The album was not very popular and only 5,000 were sold. However, by the time his second album ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ was released, Bob had begun to make his name and net worth accumulation as both a singer and a songwriter. A lot of songs on the second album were labeled as protest songs. In 1964, his third album, ‘The Times They are a-Changin’’, was released, consisting mostly of blunt, scarcely arranged songs, discussing the problems of racism, poverty and social change. Continuing at this pace of song-writing and album releases, Bob Dylan accumulated his net worth at a steady rate.
During his career Bob Dylan has released 64 albums, of which ‘Highway 61 Revisited’ and ‘Nashville Skyline’ are probably the most iconic; 200 singles and EPs, many having been covered by a multitude of artists and including ‘The Times They Are A’Changin”, ‘Blowin; in the Wind’, ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, ‘All Along the Watchtower’ and ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ as the most iconic; and 99 compilations.
During his long lasting career Bob has won many awards including 11 Grammy Awards, one Academy Award and one Golden Globe Award. Dylan’s net worth increased after every single award. Bob Dylan has been enrolled into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2000, Dylan was awarded the Polar Music Prize and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Most recently, in 2015 Dylan accepted the MusiCares Person of the Year Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, in recognition of his philanthropic and artistic contributions to society.
All these awards and demonstrable means of recognition have increased Dylan’s net worth significantly. Overall, Bob Dylan has been characterized as one of the most influential personalities of the 20th century, musically and culturally. He appeared in the ‘Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century’, in which he was described as ‘master poet, caustic social critic and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation’.
In his personal life, Bob Dylan has had two marriages. Firstly, Dylan married Sara Lownds in 1965, and they had four children, but divorced in 1977. Then Dylan married Carolyn Dennis in 1986. Prior to this, their daughter Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan was born. The couple divorced in 1992.

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.

He was talking about ‘N Sync reunion in 2011, but until today this ambition has not come to fruition.

Neal Schon Net Worth
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.
