Jimi Westbrook Net Worth $17 Million
Jimi Westbrook spent his childhood in Sumiton, where he was raised by his parents, and went to Dora High School, from which he matriculated in 1989. When he was 12 years old, he became a member of a church choir, and later as a teenager, he made the decision to pursue his career in the music industry as a country musician.
Thus, Jimi’s career began in 1998, when he co-founded the country music group called Little Big Town, with his friends Phillip Sweet, Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman – all of them vocalists, while Jimi and Phillip also play guitar. The band’s first self-titled album came in 2002, which was released through Monument Nashville record label, and consisted of such hit singles as “Everything Changes” and “Don’t Waste My Time”, both of which entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, which marked the beginning of Jimi’s net worth.
Their second album was released via Equity Music Group in 2005, entitled “The Road To Here”, reaching No. 1 on the US Indie chart, and it was also certified platinum by the RIAA. Two years later out came their third studio album “A Place To Land” with the hit single “Life In A Northern Town”, entering the Billboard Chart at No. 10, which was later re-released through Capitol Nashville. By the end of the decade, Jimi had released one more album in 2010, entitled “The Reason Why”, which topped on the Billboard Chart, adding a considerable amount to his net worth.
In the new millennium, Jimi continued to line up successes with the band, as they released the studio album “Tornado” in 2012. The lead single “Pontoon” topped the Hot Country Songs chart, sold more than one million copies worldwide, achieved platinum certification and won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Moreover, they released the next album entitled “Pain Killer” in 2014, again increasing his net worth.
Most recently, Jimi released with the band two studio albums – “Wanderlust” (2016),
on which eight songs were producer by Pharrell Williams, and “The Breaker” (2017) with the hit singles “Better Man” and “Happy People”, which topped charts in the US and the UK. His net worth is certainly rising.
When it comes to speak about his personal life, Jimi Westbrook has been married to Karen Fairchild, an actress and his fellow band member, since May of 2006; the couple has a son together. In his spare time, he is active on his official Twitter account.
