John was the only child of a working class family, and spent his childhood interested in wargaming and James Bond novels and movies. He attended Our Lady of the Westside Catholic School and later Abbey High School where he discovered his passion for music. He later enrolled at the School of Foundation Studies & Experimental Workshop Birmingham Polytechnic (nowadays known as Birmingham City University). In 1978 John, alongside Nick Rhodes and Stephen Duffy, formed Duran Duran music group, and in 1981, the band released their eponymous debut studio album which provided the basis for John Taylor’s net worth, and marked the beginning of a successful music career.

This was followed with three more studio albums “Rio” (1982), “Seven and the Ragged Tiger” (1983) and “Arena (live)” which was released in 1984, which significantly boosted the group’s popularity but also dramatically increased John’s individual fame – he was included on People Magazine’s “Sexiest People” list, and in top places of various popularity polls. Additionally, in 1985 Duran Duran recorded “A View to a Kill”, a theme song for the eponymous James Bond movie, 14th in the franchise starring Roger Moore in the title role. Later that year, John Taylor released his debut solo album “I Do What I Do (Theme for 91/2 Weeks)”. All these accomplishments helped John Taylor to significantly increase his wealth, and to boost his lavish lifestyle which included apartments in London as well as Paris and owning several cars such as, among others, James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 “Volante”.

In 1996, John co-founded his own record label B5 records in California, USA, and in 1997 officially parted ways with Duran Duran, releasing his second solo studio album entitled “Feelings Are Good and Other Lies”. This was immediately followed by “Autodidact (EP)” later that year, and commercially the incredibly successful “:Résumé”, which hit the charts in 1999. However, in 2001 Taylor reunited with Duran Duran and in 2004 the group released “Astronaut” studio album.
In his music career so far, John Taylor has released twelve studio albums while with Duran Duran he performed on 13 out of their 14 studio albums including the, most recently, “Paper Gods” which hit the charts in 2015. Doubtlessly, all these achievements have helped John Taylor to add a significant sum to his wealth.

Apart from music, Taylor has also put some efforts towards acting – he has added 22 credits to his acting portfolio so far, including movies “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” (2000), “A Diva’s Christmas Carol” (2000), and TV series “Strange Frequency”, “That ’80s Show” and “Samantha Who?”. It is certain that all these engagement increased the total revenues of John Taylor.

When it comes to his personal life, John Taylor is living it like a true rock star which he certainly is. In the 1980s he dated several fashion models such as “Bond girl” Janine Andrews, and between 1985 and 1989 John was in a relationship with Renée Toft Simonsen. In 1991, Taylor married English TV personality Amanda De Cadenet with whom he had a daughter before they divorced in 1995. Since 1999, John has been married to fashion designer and Juicy Couture fashion label co-founder, Gela Nash, with whom he resides in Los Angeles, California.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth

Published

on

Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.

So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million

Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich  was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.

However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.

Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.

As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.

As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.

Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
