Kate Bush Net Worth $60 Million
Kate is the daughter of Robert Bush, medical doctor, and his wife Hannah Daly. She grew up in a Roman Catholic family with older brothers John and Paddy. Kate’s mother was an amateur traditional Irish dancer, while her father played piano, which greatly inspired young Kate to pursue musical ambitions from an early age. When she turned 11 she started learning to play the piano by herself, and then moved on to organ, and then violin, soon composing her own music and writing lyrics. Kate went to St Joseph’s Convent Grammar School, a Catholic girls’ school, and it was during this time that she and her family took big steps towards Kate’s professional career as a musician. With the help of her father and mother as well, Kate recorded a demo tape with more than 50 songs that were her own creation and the tape was sent to numerous record labels. Unfortunately, she was denied a contract, however, that turned out to be a good thing, since her tape got into hands of the one and only David Gilmour of Pink Floyd; astonished by her talents, Gilmour immediately contacted the 16-year-old girl and helped her get into the recording business, arranging for Andrew Powell to be her producer, and also obtaining the services of sound-engineer Geoff Emerick. The new tape was sent to EMI executive Terry Slater, and soon enough, Kate got herself a recording contract.
Her debut studio album “The Kick Inside”, came out on the 17th February 1978, and reached No. 3 on the UK chart, achieving platinum status in the UK, and three times platinum in Canada, which increased Kate’s net worth to a large degree, and inspired her to continue with her work. The album spawned the eponymous hit “Wuthering Heights”, which topped the charts in several countries, launching Kate to stardom. She continued with recording, and just nine months later, her second album saw the light of the day. Entitled “Lionheart”, it reached No. 6 on the UK charts, and achieved platinum status in the UK, increasing further her wealth. Two years later, Kate released her third album, and first to top the UK charts. “Never for Ever” achieved only gold status in sales, and produced such hits as “Babooshka”, “Breathing”, and “Army Dreamers”.
Throughout the ‘80s, Kate dominated the rock and progressive rock scene, with such albums as “The Dreaming” (1982), “Hounds of Love”, which became her second album to top the UK chart, and “The Sensual World” (1989). The albums became extremely successful, with platinum and double platinum certification, spawning such hits as “Sat in Your Lap”, “Running Up That Hill” – which became one of her most prominent creations – then “The Big Sky”, “Love and Anger”, and “Deeper Understanding”.
In the ‘90s, Kate became focused more on her family and released only one album, “The Red Shoes”, which reached No. 2 on the UK chart, after which she took a 12-years long hiatus from the music scene. She returned with her eighth album “Aerial”, continuing where she left off, as the album achieved platinum status in the UK, and Canada as well. Six years later, she released her ninth album, which was comprised of remixes of her old songs from albums “The Sensual World”, and “The Red Shoes”. Her experiment proved to be successful, as the album reached No. 2 on the UK chart, and achieved gold status, which only added to her wealth.
Most recently, she released her tenth album “50 Words for Snow”, which landed at No. 5 on the UK chart and again achieved gold status.
During her career, Kate has collaborated with numerous musicians – aside from Peter Gabriel she also teamed up with Scottish rock band Big Country, then Prince, Elton John, Jeff Beck and many others, which also added to her wealth.
Kate is also known for her film projects; she has appeared in several films, including “Les Dogs” (1990), and also composed music for such films as “Dinosaur” (1999), “The Golden Compass” (2007), and many others, further increasing her net worth.
Regarding her personal life, Kate has been married to guitarist Dan McIntosh since the ‘90s, and the couple has one son together, Albert, born in 1998.
Kate is well-known for her philanthropic activities, mostly performing in charity concerts, including Comic Relief, and was also featured in a British television advertisement for the charity organization, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, NSPCC, among many other endeavors.

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”.

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.
