Grace Slick Net Worth $20 Million

Grace Slick was raised in Palo Alto, California, and is the daughter of Ivan, a banker, and Virginia Barnet Wing, an actress and a singer. Grace attended Palo Alto Senior High School, before she transferred to the private Castilleja High School. She then became a student at the Finch College in New York, but attended only for a year before switching to the University of Miami, from which she graduated with a degree in Art. In August of 1961 Grace married Gerald “Jerry” Slick, and they moved to San Francisco, where she started working as a model, while Jerry composed music for short films. Along with her husband, Grace decided to form a band – The Great Society – in 1964, and her music career began. The band managed to release a single, “Someone To Love”, before they disbanded. Still, her net worth was established.

In 1966 Grace joined the Jefferson Airplane, as their original singer, Signe Toly Anderson quit the band to take care of her child. While with Jefferson Airplane, her net worth began to increase, and also her popularity grew to some degree. The band recorded six albums with Grace on vocals, before they disbanded, the first being “Surrealistic Pillow” (1967) which proved to be a great accomplishment as it was certified gold by the RIAA. Their next release was “After Bathing At Baxter’s” (1967), but it failed to reach the popularity of the previous release. The band disbanded in 1973, but before that they released five more albums, such as “Volunteers” (1969), “Bark” (1971), and “Long John Silver” (1972).

Grace and guitarist Paul Kantner then formed Jefferson Starship, with which she recorded quite prolifically until 1984, with their albums including “Dragon Fly” (1974), “Red Octopus” (1975), “Spitfire” (1976), “Earth” (1978), “Freedom At Point Zero” (1979), “Modern Times (1981)”, “Winds of Change” (1982), and “Nuclear Furniture” (1984). This period contributed significantly to Grace’s net worth.

In 1985 a new band named simply Starship was formed. In a way it was a follow up to the Jefferson Starship, but it was very different, as the musical style changed, and also the line-up. Grace recorded two albums with the band, before she quit in 1988, but in 1989 she returned and with Kanter recorded the reunion album, and embarked on a tour. However, she again left the band in 1989, but ever since then, she sometimes collaborates with Kantner and Starship while the band holds concerts in Los Angeles.

Besides her successful career as a band member, Grace Slick’s net worth has also increased thanks to her successful solo career; she has released four albums, such as “Manhole” (1974), “Dreams” (1980), and “Software” (1984).

Thanks to her accomplishment in rock’n’roll music, in 1999 Grace Slick was named one of the 100 greatest women of rock’n’roll by VH1; she has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Jefferson Airplane in 1996.

After retirement, Grace Slick dedicated herself to visual arts, which firstly began as a hobby, but later progressed, and she became known for her portrayal of “Alice In Wonderland” in 2006, which eventually led to collaboration with Dark Horse Comic, Inc.

Regarding her personal life, Grace Slick has been married twice. Her first husband was Gerald “Jerry” Slick, and second was Skip Johnson. Grace has only one child – a daughter, named China Wing Kantner, with Paul Kantner, her ex-boyfriend. In the media she is known to have been addicted to drugs and alcohol, which lead to a few brushes with the law. Her residence is currently in Malibu, California.

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 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.
