What was the Net Worth of David Bowie?

David Bowie was an English musician, singer-songwriter, and actor who died in 2016 with a net worth of $230 million dollars. His music catalog was estimated to be worth $100 million as part of that figure. In January 2022, Bowie’s estate sold his publishing portfolio to Warner Chappell for $250 million, as we’ll see later in this piece.

Early Life and Eduation

David was born on January 8, 1947, in Brixton, London, England, to Haywood Stenton Jones and Margaret Mary Jones. His father worked as a promotions officer in the military. His mother, on the other hand, worked as a waitress. Terry Burns was one of his siblings, and Annette and Myra Ann were his half-sisters. He is of British nationality and of mixed heritage (English-Irish). Capricorn is his zodiac sign. When it comes to his education, he first attended Stockwell Infants School. After that, he went to Burnt Ash Junior School. Last but not least, he went to Bromley Technical High School.

Professional Career of David Bowie

When it comes to his business, David Bowie founded his first band when he was 15 years old and began performing at local youth gatherings and weddings. In contrast, as he battled to gain a foothold in the competitive music industry, he changed his bandmates rather frequently during the next few years. To prevent confusion with Davy Jones of the Monkees, he changed his name to David Bowie in the 1960s. In 1967, he published his self-titled debut album, which was a commercial failure.

He met Lindsay Kemp, a dancer, and joined in his dance class at the London Dance Centre in 1967. Aside from that, his first success came in 1969 with the release of the track ‘Space Oddity.’ In 1972, he collaborated with the Spiders from Mars—Ronson, Bolder, and Woodmansey—on ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.’ He had his most fruitful years in his career during the 1970s. Similarly, his inventive compositions and stagecraft, along with his larger-than-life stage demeanor, helped him become one of the decade’s most popular musical artists.
