The following year, she would then release her second album entitled “The Original Rude Girl”, featuring hip hop music and showcasing Queen’s bilingual abilities. The album was unsuccessful, but the song “In the Zone” charted on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40. In 1999 she was dropped by Sony, and decided to take a break from her music career. She resurfaced in 2001, appearing in several reggaeton compilation albums. Two years later, she signed with the independent label Real Music, and would appear in the label’s first album entitled “Jams Vol. 1”. Her net worth was rising again.

She also received the first Premio Juventud “Diva Award” in honor of her musical achievements. Her sixth album “Sentimiento” was released in 2007 and it contained the hit single “Que Lloren”, again boosting her net worth..
In 2008, Ivy released her first live album “Ivy Queen 2008 World Tour LIVE!” while on tour, partnering with several sponsors. She then released “Drama Queen” in 2010; according to her it was about an emotional time in her life, and the album would peak at number 163 on the US Billboard 200 chart and number three at the Top Latin Albums chart. One of her latest projects is her ninth studio album entitled “Vendetta”; an extended play version of the album called “Vendetta: First Round” was later released. The constant releases of her albums have certainly helped maintain her net worth.
For her personal life, it is known that Ivy was married to reggaeton singer Omar Navarro also known as Gran Omar, from 1994 to 2005, when it ended with a lot of controversy from both parties, with each accusing the other of being unfaithful in their relationship.

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.
