Julie Gold Net Worth $4 Million
Gold was born as one of two children to a mother born in Russia, who married an American who worked in the Philadelphia police department. The family soon moved to Philadelphia, where she finished at Philadelphia High School for Girls in 1974. Four years later she graduated from Temple University and immediately went to live in New York, as she had high hopes of becoming a songwriter. Her musical interest and songwriting talent was evident since her early childhood, as she composed her first songs when she was only four years old. By the time she was a teenager, she had already started to write them down, so it was no wonder that she strove to enter this profession. Gold went through a struggle during her first few years in New York, as she moved between part time jobs and ended up as a secretary at HBO, a job which aided her struggle to become a musician. Her net worth wasn’t much above zero at this point.
Although Julie had a solid manager, frequent gigs and a good repertoire, she didn’t manage to make a name for herself until she got a call from Nanci Griffith, which changed her life. Gold became a part of the Greenwich Village singer/songwriter scene, and started performing at “open mic nights”. This enabled her to make important future star friends and colleagues such as Suzanne Vega, John Gorka and Christine Lavin, who eventually became her mentor.
It was on Julie’s 30th birthday in 1986, when her parents sent her the piano she grew up with, and which resulted in Julie writing the song which changed her life for the best. The name of the song was “From A Distance” and Gold composed it in less than one hour. However, it wasn’t until 1990 that Bette Midler’s version of the song was released and became an instant hit, rising to number two on the pop charts. The single became platinum, sold one million copies, and the next year Julie received a Grammy Award for the Song of the Year, thus finally making her own way, and impressively increasing her net worth. Her wealth only continued to grow as the song has since been covered by several performers and was translated into foreign languages.
After the miraculous success of this composition, Julie was able to completely devote herself to music in the way she wanted. She was a member of “Four Bitchin’ Babes” from 1990 to 1994, with whom, among other members, she performed with Christine Lavin. Some of Gold’s other notable songs are, “Heaven”, “Southbound Train”, “Good Night New York”, “Mountain of Sorrow” and “Try Love”. Her song “Thanks to You” appeared on the soundtrack of the film “Andre”(1993) and “Dream Loud” was featured in “Unfaithful”, a film from 2002.
When it comes to her private life, almost everything remains truly private. However, it is known that Julie is of Jewish descent, as her paternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Romania. Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer, but after a lumpectomy and chemo treatment, is definitely in remission.

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.

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.

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 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.
