Dee Snider Net Worth $10 Million
Dee grew up on Long Island, and was educated at Baldwin High School from where he matriculated in 1973. He started singing at a very young age, firstly in several choruses in his school, and Episcopalian church to which his mother had converted; he was even selected for the All-State Chorus.
In 1976 Dee became a part of Twisted Sisters, the primary songwriter and vocalist with other members Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda, Mark Mendoza and A.J. Pero. Their first album, “Under the Blade”, was released in 1982, and was moderately successful which certainly contributed to Dee’s growing net worth. Later the group released several albums, including “Stay Hungry”, “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘n’ Roll”, “Come Out and Play” among others. All these albums of course had a huge impact on the growth of Dee Snider’s net worth.
Another group that was formed by Dee was Widowmaker, with other members Joe Franco, Marc Russel and Al Pitrelli. This group released two albums: “Stand By For Pain and Blood” and “Bullets” which were minor hits and helped raise Dee’s net worth too.
In 1997 Dee became a host of the radio program called “House of Hair”. In 1998 Snider wrote – and he himself acted in – the movie entitled Strangeland, in which he had an opportunity to work with Linda Cardellini, Kevin Gage, Brett Harrelson and many others; this also lifted Dee’s net worth. In 1999 Dee started to host another radio show, entitled “Dee Snider Radio”, then in 2001 Dee’s fans were able to hear his voice in the video game for PlayStation 2, “Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy”. Other movies that Snider appeared in include “Warning: Parental Advisory”, “Kiss Loves You” and others. He has also released two solo albums: “Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down” and “Dee Does Broadway”; all these activities raised Snider’s net worth.
Finally, in Dee Snyder’s personal life, he has been married to costume designer Suzette since 1981, and they have four sons, all of whom have followed their father into the music business in one form or another. They divide their time between Long Island and New York City. Politically he is a supporter of Barack Obama, and although a catholic he is pro-choice (regarding abortion).
