Lisa went to Philadelphia High School for Girls, and after matriculation, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to audition for a new girl group.
In the beginning, the group’s name was 2nd Nature, but it was quickly renamed to TLC, which stands for initials of Tionne, Lisa, and Crystal.

Two years later, the group released its second studio album called “CrazySexyCool”, which was their most successful commercial release, recording more than 11 million sales in the US, and an additional two million worldwide. It peaked at the No. 3 on the US Billboard 200, No. 4 on UK Albums, No. 2 on US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and topped the UK R&B Albums chart.

Among numerous awards, the release earned two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
In 1999, TLC recorded their third studio album entitled “FanMail”, which achieved 6x platinum status, and made over 10 million sales worldwide, which only increased Lisa’s net worth. It topped the US Billboard 200, US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and UK R&B Albums, while it reached the No. 2 on the UK Albums chart. The singles “No Scrubs”, “Unpretty”, and “I’m Good at Being Bad” were positioned among the top songs on numerous charts. The release won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, while the song “No Scrubs” won awards for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best R&B Song.
The TLC’s fourth and final album “3D” came out in 2002, seven months after Lopes’ death, and it achieved platinum status too, and also had reasonable success in top charts such as Billboard and UK Albums.
Lisa Lopes recorded one solo album entitled “Supernova” (2001), but she took almost four years to get it done, while in 2009, her posthumous release “Eye Legacy” saw daylight, featuring notable fellow artists such as Missy Elliott, Chamillionaire, and Bone Crusher, among others.
Regarding her personal life, Lisa Lopes was involved in an incident when she set her then-boyfriend’ Andre Rison’s house on fire – allegedly after suffering physical abuse – and was sentenced to five years on probation. She had several tattoos, but the most obvious was the number 80 around the eagle, in honour of Rison who played for the Atlanta Falcons at the time. Lisa died on the 25th April 2002 in Honduras in a car accident, the only person fatally injured in the crash.

Chasez is a white American who was born on August 8 1976 in Washington, United States of America, but he was raised in Bowie, Maryland after he was adopted by Roy and Karen Chasez when Joshua’s biological mother entrusted care of him at the age of 5.

As a child he attended Robert Goddart Middle School and always loved dancing during school years.
JC Chasez Net Worth $30 Million
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. N’Sync members acheived not only worldwide recognition after releasing their albums and singles, but also earned huge amounts of money from live performances and different merchandise.
Since 2002 JC Chasez has tried several different aspects of the entertainment industry – he has written songs, produced records, danced and even appeared in some movies. 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. But mostly he has become known as a singer, because after leaving ‘N Sync he started his own solo career and released his first solo single “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” in 2002. 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.
