Lucinda Williams Net Worth $15 Million
Lucinda is the daughter of Miller Williams, who was a poet and literature professor, and his wife, Lucille Fern Day, a pianist, but who didn’t have much success in professional waters and therefore remained an amateur. Lucinda has younger brother and sister, Robert and Karyn Elizabeth, with whom she shared the house following their parents’ divorce. The Williams children remained with Miller, who had spina bifida, and Lucinda was unlucky to inherit this degeneration of the spinal cord. From an early age, Lucinda showed that she has a creative mind, as she started writing songs when she was only six years old, and by the time she was 12 she was playing guitar. Five years later, she made her debut live appearance, alongside her friend, Clark Jones, a banjo player. Little by little, Lucinda improved and in her early 20s she was already known in Austin and Houston, as a folk-rock-country artist. She then settled in Jackson, Mississippi, and the next step was a recording contract with Smithsonian/Folkways Records, and a debut studio album “Ramblin’ on My Mind” (1978), which featured only covers of country and blues songs. Two years later, Lucinda released her second album “Happy Woman Blues”, which was comprised of her own songs, but both albums failed to achieve success.
She then left Jackson, living for a short time in Los Angeles, California, before eventually settling in Nashville, Tennessee. There, she started performing acoustically with other bands and musicians, building a fan base and reputation. Eight years after her second album, Lucinda released self-titled her third album, which became a turning point in her career; the single “Changed the Locks” became popular, and was later covered by Tom Petty.
In 1992, Lucinda released her next album “Sweet Old World”, which received positive critiques, but the album lacked commercial success. Regardless, Lucinda continued with her career, and in 1998 released “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road”, which won her a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, achieved gold status in the USA, and is her best-selling album so far, with close to a million copies sold; this increased her wealth to a large degree.
She accustomed her fans to wait on her new recordings, and it was like that again, as her next album came out in 2001, entitled “Essence”, which peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard 200 chart, and won her Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single “Get Right with God”. She continued to produce music, and in 2003 released her follow-up “World Without Tears”, which reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200 chart, but her next album didn’t go out until 2007, although meantime she collaborated with several other musicians, including Flogging Molly, Elvis Costello, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott among others. Then in 2007 she released “West” and went on a tour featuring such musicians as Mike Campbell, Greg Dulli, Emmylou Harris, David Johansen and Steve Earle among others. The next year she released her ninth studio album “Little Honey”, a digression from her usual two-three years between albums; it was another album that received positive critiques, and also a Grammy Award- nomination and became her highest-charting album, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart. However, the sales again didn’t reach the margin she had expected, but still, it increased her wealth.
Since 2010, Lucinda has released four more studio albums, including “Blessed”, and “The Ghosts of Highway 20”, with the latter receiving universal acclaim with a score of 83 from 19 reviews.
Regarding her personal life, Lucinda has been married to Tom Overby since 2009. Previously, she was married to Greg Sowders.
Back in 2008, during her concert in Santa Cruz, the mayor of the city announced that 6th September will become Lucinda Williams Day in Santa Cruz, from 2008 onwards.

Joshua Scott “JC” Chasez, also known as JC Chasez, Big Daddy or J. C. 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.
