Micky Dolenz Net Worth $7 Million
Micky Dolenz was born into a famous family, as his father George starred in the main role in the TV series “The Count Of Monte Cristo”, and his mother Janelle Johnson was an actress as well. Thus, Dolenz’s professional acting career began when he was only 10 years old, starring in the children’s show “Circus Boy” (1956-57). Simultaneously he attended Ulysses S. Grant High School in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, matriculating in 1962. Later, he enrolled at college in LA, but he quit education to further his acting and musical careers.
In 1964 he secured a role in TV series “Mr. Novak”, and a year later in “Peyton Place”. In 1966, he was selected as the drummer for the band The Monkees, the struggles and success of which were shown in the NBC`s TV series of the same name. The show aired for two seasons, becoming the main source of Micky`s net worth. During the show, The Monkees started a successful career, releasing nine albums before their disbandment. Their first self-titled release came out in 1966, topping the US charts, and eventually reaching five times platinum status. One after another, their albums topped the charts, “More Of The Monkees” (1966), “Headquarters” (1967), and “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd” (1967), also reaching platinum status, which only further increased Micky`s net worth. After these successes, their popularity started to decline, and after the 1970 album “Changes”, the band ceased to exist. They tried several reunions, and released two more albums, however, with no major success.
After The Monkees, Micky returned to full-time acting, landing roles in productions such as “The Night of the Strangler” (1972), “Keep Off My Grass!” (1975), “Linda Lovelace for President” (1975).

Micky has also released two studio albums as a solo artist – “Micky Dolenz Puts You To Sleep” (1991), and “Broadway Micky” (1994), which also added to his net worth.
