Over 200 Famous Metal and Hard Rock Musicians Ranked by Their Net Worth

Have you ever wondered the net worth of well-known metal and hard rock musicians?

MetalSucks has compiled a list of the net worth of over 200 such musicians, and while metal isn’t exactly known as a rich person’s game, some of the numbers may surprise you.

All of the figures presented in this piece was collected from CelebrityNetWorth.com on the date of publication of this article. The site describes its methodology for compiling these numbers as follows:

“Our data is rooted in financial analysis, market research, and inside sources that we have meticulously developed over the last decade to maintain accuracy and breadth of knowledge. At a minimum, each net worth estimate on CNW takes into account known salaries, real estate holdings, divorce records, royalties, lawsuits, and endorsements. Our estimates incorporate a proprietary formula that removes estimated taxes, manager’s fees, agent fees, and lifestyle expenses.

“The results are fact checked and confirmed by a team of editors and industry insiders. We work diligently to ensure that our numbers are the most accurate and current celebrity finance information you will find anywhere.”

It should be noted that the figures below are not to be taken as fact, but as estimates. While some are surely inaccurate, this list provides an insight into the approximate net worth of these individuals, especially relative to one another (and often, between different members of the same band). It should also be noted that this list is not comprehensive, but a random sampling of artists we chose to feature.
