Ciara Princess Harris, commonly known as Ciara, is a famous American record producer, fashion model, singer and songwriter, as well as a dancer. Ciara rose to prominence in the music industry with her debut studio album entitled “Goodies”, which produced four singles, namely “1, 2 Step”, “Goodies”, “And I” and “Oh”. A mixture of dance music with elements of pop, R&B and hip-hop, “Goodies” attracted the attention of a versatile audience and is perhaps the main reason why it has sold more than 2.7 million copies to date, as well as received a triple Platinum certification from the RIAA. Often compared to Aaliyah’s works, Ciara’s first studio attempt helped her gain enough public exposure and media attention to successfully continue her singing career.

Following the positive critical and commercial reception of her debut album, Ciara came out with her second studio attempt under the name of “Ciara: The Evolution”, which dealt with Ciara’s coming of age story and featured guest appearances from 50 Cent, Will.i.am, Dallas Austin, Brian Kennedy, Lil Jon and others. Even though the album initially received mixed reviews, “Ciara: The Evolution” managed to sell more than 1.3 million copies worldwide, and secured another Platinum certification from the RIAA.

When Ciara established herself in the industry as a talented singer, she went on to try her luck in acting. Ciara’s first film appearance occurred in a 2006 drama film called “All You’ve Got”, where she co-starred with Adrienne Bailon and Sarah Mason. Ciara’s acting skills landed her a recurring role in season six of a comedy and drama television series entitled “The Game”, starring Hosea Chanchez, Brandy Norwood and Brittany Daniel.

A well-known singer and actress, how rich is Ciara? According to sources, Ciara’s net worth is estimated to be $20 million. Largely due to Ciara’s net worth and her annual income, she was able to acquire some valuable assets, such as her Bentley Continental, the value of which is $180,000, and her engagement ring, which cost $1.5 million.

Ciara was born in 1985, in Austin, Texas, yet she had to move a lot during her childhood, since one of her parents was serving in the United States military. As a child, Ciara lived in New York, Arizona, and Utah before her family settled down in Atlanta. When she was a teenager, Ciara was largely inspired to become a singer, and consequently created a singing group with her friends called “Hearsay”. However, the group disbanded and Ciara continued on writing songs instead. After her success with “Got Me Waiting”, which she wrote for Fantasia Barrino, Ciara was noticed by Jazze Pha, who helped her record several songs that eventually made it to her debut album. After Ciara’s big breakthrough in the music industry, she went on to try acting, as well as modeling. In 2009, Ciara signed a deal with “Wilhelmina Models”, one of the largest talent management agencies, which helped her make many more appearances in various magazines.

A multi-talented singer and actress, Ciara has an estimated net worth of $20 million.

Graham Parker was born on the 18th November 1950, in London, England, UK and is a musician and songwriter, best known as the lead member of the rock group Graham Parker & the Rumour, but also as a soloist. Parker has been active in the entertainment industry since 1970s.

How much is the net worth of Graham Parker? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $5 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. Music is the major source of Parker’s modest fortune.

Graham Parker Net Worth $5 Million

To begin with, Graham Parker was already dreaming of a career as a rock musician as a teenager, yet after his graduation he did odd jobs as a tanker and truck driver among others. From 1970, he played in various unsuccessful bands, but toured from Spain to Morocco. In 1975, Parker returned to London, where the head of Stiff Records Dave Robinson gave him the opportunity to record some demos. Robinson also formed the band The Rumour, consisting of Graham Parker, Brinsley Schwarz, Martin Belmont, Andrew Bodnar, Bob Andrews and Stephen Goulding, and they became Parker’s backing band for the next five years; Graham Parker & The Rumour quickly became one of the most popular live bands in England.

In 1976, Graham Parker’s first LP, “Howlin’ Wind” was released, which was produced by Nick Lowe, inspired by The Rumour’s relaxed style, as well as by Parker’s stirring songs. “Howlin’ Wind” as well as the following album “Heat Treatment” (1976) were commercial failures, despite praise and recognition by the critics. Only the EP “The Pink Parker” (1977) brought the band their first hit parade success. On the album “Stick To Me” (1977), again produced by Nick Lowe, Graham Parker & The Rumour surprised the audience with more pop and generous arrangements, adding more reggae elements to their music. In 1979, the album “Squeezing Out Sparks” appeared, which sold well, and the live double album “Parkerilla” (1978) and the album “The Up Escalator” (1980) were also very popular with audiences; the latter was Parker’s last collaboration with his long-time backing band The Rumour, from which he parted that year.

At the beginning of the 1980s Graham Parker settled in New York, where he recorded the album “Another Gray Area” (1982), earning mostly positive reviews. With “The Real Macaw” he was able to rehabilitate himself a year later. “Steady Nerves” (1985) and “Mona Lisa’s Sister” (1988) became his last records, which could be placed in the LP charts. Parker lost his record contract and had to publish his highly praised albums like the gently folk “12 Haunted Episodes” (1995) on ever smaller labels. He revealed his disappointment about it in the album “Acid Bubblegum” in the song “Sharpening Axes” (1996).

In 2007, the CD “Do not Tell Columbus” was released and in 2010 “Imaginary Television” was released. In 2012, he played himself in the film “These are the 40”. In 2012, Graham Parker and The Rumour reunited, and two studio albums were released – “Three Chords Good” (2012) and “Mystery Glue” (2015), managing to maintain his net worth.

Finally, in the personal life of Graham Parker, he is married to Jolie Parker.

Elijah Blue Allman, also professionally known as P. Exeter Blue, was born on the 10th July 1976, in Los Angeles, California USA, and is a musician, guitarist and singer, best known as a son of Cher and Greg Allman, and a member of the heavy metal band called Deadsy. Allman’s career started in 1995.

Have you ever wondered how rich Elijah Blue Allman is, as of mid-2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Allman’s net worth is as high as $15 million, earned through his successful career in music. In addition to being a member of the rock band, Allman has worked on other projects, and the fact that he is a son of famous singer Cher has pretty much secured his financial status.

Elijah Blue Allman Net Worth $15 Million

Elijah Blue Allman  is a half-brother of Delilah Allman, Michael Allman, Devon Allman, Layla Allman, and Chaz Bono. His first guitar was given to him by the Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, and he subsequently accompanied his mother during her tour in 1989, including appearing in her video “If I could Turn Back Time”.

Allman had an audition for Nine Inch Nails guitarist in 1994, but was turned down for Robin Finck. In 1995, Allman, Alec Puro, and Renn Hawkey founded the band called Deadsy, and soon after signed a deal with Sire Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1996; due to the lack of a bassist in the group, Blue asked Jay Gordon to join them for a few tracks. They had their first live performance at Coney Island in 1997, but left the stage after only three songs for unclarified reasons.

The band had problems in securing a new deal with the record company, and they were unable to release their second album before Jonathan Davis (of the band Korn) helped them to sign a deal with Elementree Records in 2001, and the album called “Commencement” finally saw daylight in May 2002. Davis featured in two songs while Limp Bizkit’s frontman Fred Durst directed the video for the song “The Key to Gramercy Park”. Although the band collaborated with big names such as Durst and Davis, sales failed to meet expectations, and Deadsy sold only around 175,000 copies, and peaked at No. 100 position on the Billboard 200 chart. Regardless, Allman’s net worth was rising steadily.

Deadsy needed four more years before releasing their next album; they signed a contract with Immortal Records and recorded their latest album called “Phantasmagore” in 2006. Again, it failed to achieve major commercial success, but did reach No. 176 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band then joined the Family Values Tour in summer 2006 as a backup to the Deftones and Korn, but in January 2007, Deadsy announced their hiatus; recently there were some rumours about their reunion, but nothing has happened thus far.

Allman has collaborated with other musicians and bands such as Orgy, Cher, Sugar Ray, and Coal Chamber in 1999, Limp Bizkit in 2001, Thirty Seconds to Mars in 2002, Korn in 2005, and Mickey Avalon in 2012, which certainly increased his net worth. In 2008, Elijah released three songs with Elijah Blue and the Trapezoids: “Haunted”, “White Knuckle Angel Face”, and “Long Way Down”, but since then, there have been no new releases.

Regarding his personal life, Elijah Blue Allman dated Bijou Phillips, Heather Graham, Kate Hudson, and Paris Hilton before marrying the English singer Marieangela “Queenie” King in December 2013; they currently live in Germany.

Eilleen Regina Edwards was born on 28 August 1965, in Windsor, Ontario Canada, of part-Irish, Englis and French ancestry, and far better known by her stage name Shania Twain – her stepfather’s surname – is a singer and songwriter, considered to be one of the best selling artists in the music industry, and known for such albums as “Come on Over”, “The Woman in Me” and “Up!”. Although she has released only five full albums, Twain is still considered to be one of the most successful musicians, having won many varying awards, including CCMA, Grammy, Golden Pick and Juno Awards and many others. What is more, Shania has been included in Canada’s Walk of Fame and inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

So just how rich is Shania Twain, as of mid-2017? It is estimated that Shania’s net worth is over $350 million and it would be no surprise if this figure grew in the future, as Twain still continues her career which she began in the early 1980s.

Shania Twain Net Worth $390 Million

Shania’s childhood was far from perfect, as her family was poor and sometimes did not even have enough food. Her parents divorced when she was still a small girl, and Shania’s stepfather also sometimes quarreled with her mother. When Shania was 10 years old she wrote her first song, and three years later she received a invitation to appear on TV in “The Tommy Hunter Show”. Twain became a part of the band called “Longshot” and began performing  with the band. However, a road accident which killed her parents meant she had to take care of her younger siblings, so for some time her dreams of becoming a singer had to be put on hold. Despite this fact, in 1993 Shania released her debut solo self-titled album, and although it didn’t sell very well, Shania still gained a lot of acclaim from the critics, and this was the time when Shania Twain’s net worth began growing.

In 1995 she released her second album, called “The Woman in Me”, and this album did gain a lot of success and had a huge impact on the growth of Twain’s net worth. Over the years, but well spread-out, Shania has released three more studio albums – “Come on Over” in 1997 is the all time best-selling studio album by any female artist in any genre, and the best-selling country album, selling around 40 million copies worldwide. “Up” in 2002 and “Now” in 2017 were also very popular and acclaimed, contributing to her being the only artist to register three diamond certified albums as well as a “Greatest Hits” album in 2004.

Regardless of her success, Shania had to take a break in her career for several years, as she was diagnosed with dysphonia, effecting her vocal chords. Luckily, she was able to return to the music industry in 2012, and has embarked on a number of concert tours in recent years, certainly pleasing her fans and contributing steadily to her still rising net worth.

In addition, Shania was also a part of the television show called “American Idol” in 2009, and and in 2011 even had her own shown created called “Why Not? With Shania Twain”; this also added to her net worth.

When talking about her personal life, it should be said that Shania has been married twice and she has one child from her first marriage with Robert Lange (1993-2010) – their separation was apparently prompted by Lange’s affair with Marie-Ann Thiebaud, her best friend. Shania has been married to her ex-best friend’s ex-husband, Frederic Thiebaud, since 2011.

In this period she was also nominated for “Female Vocalist of the Year”; her net worth was rising again.

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.

Gary Numan Net Worth $7 Million

To begin with, the boy was raised in Hammersmith; Gary’s father was a bus driver at British Airways, which is why Gary wanted to become a pilot at an early stage, but this professional wish was not fulfilled due to a lack of schooling. Gary thought of many other professions, but already by the age of 15 he had begun to write songs, and played in several bands. Together with his uncle Jess Lidyard, and Paul Gardiner, he founded the band Tubeway Army. He first appeared under the pseudonym Valerian, and took his artist name Numan later.

Numan’s career really began at the end of the 1970s, when he founded the New Wave Band Tube Army. In 1979, they landed the worldwide hit “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”, and the same year, his already third album “Replicas” was number one in the British charts for four weeks. Later, another number one single hit followed, entitled “Cars”, with both singles certified gold. The two following albums (now under the name of Gary Numan), “The Pleasure Principle” (1979) and “Telekon” (1980), again appeared on the British charts, and until the middle of the 1980s, especially in England the band was very successful; all the aforementioned albums received certifications for sales. In 1982 he released the album “I, Assassin”, and had his last big single hit with “We Take Mystery”. By that time, however, his popularity had already begun to fall and after the album “Warriors” (1983) Beggars Banquet broke the record contract.

Numan subsequently founded his own record label, Numa Records and released the albums “Berserker” (1984), “The Fury” (1985) and “Strange Charm” (1986). He also collaborated with Bill Sharpe from the Shakatak group, and after several failures, his career turned around in the 1990s. The album “Sacrifice” (1994) received a positive reception by several critics. Groups like Hole, Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson made cover versions of his songs, and Nine Inch Nails mentioned Numan as an important influence. Numan’s new goth rock style resulted in albums like “Exile” (1997) and “Pure” (2000), which gave him a partially new audience, while his earlier music was re-launched.

In 2013, Numan released its twentieth studio album, “Splinter” (Songs from a Broken Mind), and the album “Savage” (Songs from a Broken World) is set for a late 2017 release.

Finally, in the personal life of the singer and musician, Numan married Gemma O’Neill in 1997. Today he lives with her and their three children in East Sussex – his family is largely excluded from public view. Numan claims to have a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome.
