He is a rock and pop music singer, who has incorporated styles and genres which vary from hard rock to traditional pop music, and most recently ballads. Warmth, although characteristically with a rough and hoarse voice and unique stage personality, has made him one of the most popular singers of the second half of the 20th century and up to the present. Among many awards, Rod Stewart is an inductee into the US Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1994, and as a member of The Faces in 2012, and into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006. He has been accumulating his net worth being active in the music industry since 1961.

Rod and his family were big fans of Al Jolson who inspired little Rod. At age 11, he decided to form a small band named The Kool Kats. Stewart began his professional career in the early 1960’s, accompanying the folk singer Wizz Jones on a European tour. In 1963 he joined the rhythm and blues band Jimmy Powell & the Five Dimension, in which he sang and played the harmonica. Over the next years, Stewart passed from band to band, and in 1965 he joined the Steampacket, employed as an opening act for the Rolling Stones and The Walker Brothers. When the group broke up in 1967, he joined the Jeff Beck Group. Although the group existed only three years and recorded just two albums, it gained tremendous popularity. After parting with Beck, Stewart, along with Ronnie Wood joined The Faces. All the above experiences contributed solidly to the increase in Rod’s net worth.
Still singing in a group, Stewart also began his solo career. His first album, “An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down” (1969) turned out to be unsuccessful. The second, “Gasoline Alley” (1970) was also undetected. Not until his third album, “Every Picture Tells a Story” (1971) became a huge hit and was certified platinum in USA, did Rod become noticed in his own right.
For the last 40 years, Rod has never been far from the top of the charts, and has maintained his popularity as a solo singer, in collaboration with many others in the industry, and as a general celebrity. He has released 25 more studio albums which have been successful on both sides of Atlantic and around the world, selling more than 100 million, and invariably reaching high positions in the charts, as have many single releases, resulting in him being rated by Billboard as the 17th most successful artist in pop music history, and both Q and Rolling Stone Magazines ranking him well inside the top 100 singers of all time.
Among numerous awards, Rod Stewart is the recipient of a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, Diamond Award from the World Music Awards, Legend Award from the World Music Awards, Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, “Stardust … The Great American Songbook Volume III” (2004), ASCAP Founders Award and many others which have also increased the overall size of Rod Stewart net worth. Of particular significance was him being rewarded with a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2007 for his contribution to music.
Finally, in the personal life of the legendary singer, he is known for relationships with a number of women, usually models and actresses. He dated Susannah Boffey(1963–1964) with whom he had his first child. He then dated the models Jennie Rylance (1965–1967) and Dee Harrington (1971–1975) as well as the actress Britt Ekland (975–1977). He was married to the actress Alana Hamilton from 1979 to 1984 with whom he has two children, then dated model Kelly Emberg (1983–1990) and they had a child together. Rod was married a second time to model Rachel Hunter(1990–2006) and has two children with her. Since 2007 he has been married to the model Penny Lancaster, – they have two children, too. On the whole, Rod has fathered eight children with five women, one would think a bit of a drain on his net worth, but affordable to date.

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.

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.

Ozzy Osbourne Net Worth
John Michael Osbourne was born on 3 December 1948 in Aston, Birmingham, England, and is widely known as a songwriter, singer and television personality, considered to be one of the developers of heavy metal music, and being called the ‘Godfather of Heavy Metal’. He initially came to notice playing with the band Black Sabbath, but from the early ’80s continually moved until concentrating on a solo career. Ozzy has been inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame and the US Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, plus has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was the first on the Birmingham Walk of Stars.
So just how rich is Ozzy Osbourne? Authoritative sources estimate that Ozzy has a net worth of over $220 million, accumulated during his career in the music industry which began in the late 1960s.

Ozzy’s father John was a toolmaker, and his mother Lillian a factory worker. He was called ‘Ozzy’ in primary school, and adopted it as his stage name. As Ozzy suffers from dyslexia, school really wasn’t for him except for drama, so he left at 15 and took various jobs, although training as a plumber, then as an apprentice toolmaker, but spending a short time in jail for petty theft taught him a timely lesson.
Ozzy was really interested in music, and sang with a couple of bands in the late ’60s, one of which became Black Sabbath with bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler, singer Ozzy Osbourne, drummer Bill Ward, and guitarist and songwriter Tony Iommi, now the only surviving original member of the band. The band’s style, partly reflected in their name, was very appealing, and they were significantly successful in the UK and USA during the ’70s, with their debut self-titled album, and the follow-up album Paranoid, eventually achieving multi-platinum status. However, Ozzy’s increasing use of drugs saw him leave the band in 1979, although there have been several collaborations since; regardless, his net worth was very well established.
In the early 1980s, the group Necromandus played with Ozzy Osbourne on his first solo project, the Blizzard of Ozz incarnation, also the title of his first solo album, a popular success with heavy metal fans. Ozzy’s subsequent solo career spread over more than three decades, has increased his net worth the most; seven of the eleven studio albums he has released have achieved multi-platinum certifications in the US alone. A further large financial success has come from annual festival tours called ‘Ozzfest’, of the US and sometimes Europe. It was founded by Ozzy Osbourne and second wife and manager Sharon in the mid-’90s, and performances by many heavy metal and hard rock musical groups have been featured. Since its beginning, sources estimate that over five million people have attended Ozzfest, resulting in revenues of more than $100 million.
Ozzy Osbourne’s net worth also rose sharply as a result of ‘The Osbournes’, a reality television series showcasing the life of the singer and his family which was aired from 2002-05; the show was created by Jonathan Taylor and became one of MTV’s greatest hits. The success of the show led to the Osbournes hosting the 30th Annual American Music Awards in January 2003, and the BRIT Awards held at Earls Court, London in 2008. Various awards and nominations have also helped increase Ozzy’s net worth, including a Grammy Award for the track ‘I Don’t Want to Change the World’, a Godlike Genius Award from NME magazine, among many others.
Additionally. Ozzy won the Literary Achievement honour in 2010, for his autobiography “I Am Ozzy”, which hit the New York Times’ non-fiction best-seller list at No 2. Osbourne has also acted three times as a judge for the Independent Music Awards, which supports independent artists’ careers.
In his less-than-private personal life, Osbourne has been married twice, firstly to Thelma Reese (1971-82), with whom he has a daughter named Jessica Starshine, and a son named Louis John. Ozzy has been married to Sharon Arden since 1982, and their three children are Aimee, Kelly and Jack . Recent rumours of Ozzy’s affairs seem to have done little to break-up the couple. Ozzy openly blames his sometimes controversial lifestyle on drug and alcohol abuse, and praises Sharon for constantly dragging him out of periods of instability. They currently divide their time between residences in Buckinghamshire, England, and Malibu, California.
