Famous American metal band Motley Crue was founded in 1981 by bassist Nikki Sixx, when he left the band named London and started playing with drummer Tommy Lee and vocalist/guitarist Greg Leon. Total net worth of all band’s members together is being estimated to surpass $200 million as of 2023. For example, just Tommy Lee has an amazing net worth of $70 million.
How Did Motley Crue Get So Rich?
The original trio fell apart in a short time after Greg Leon left. Remaining members found guitarist Bob Deal, known as Mick Mars and hired him. They also hired Vince Neil, known by Tommy from the high school. Their first manager was Allan Coffman. During their career, they had two more members for some time, John Corabi and Randy Castillo.
The band has sold over one hundred million records worldwide. They released nine studio albums, namely Too Fast for Love in 1981, Shout at the Devil in 1983, Theatre of Pain in 1985, Girls, Girls, Girls in 1987, Dr. Feelgood in 1989, self-titled Mötley Crüe in 1994, Generation Swine in 1997, New Tattoo in 2000, and Saints of Los Angeles in 2008. And off course, there was many concert tours, which also took a part in gaining such a net worth.
The successful band Motley Crue performed for the last time in LA on on New Year’s Eve, 2015. The show was filmed for a Blue-ray and theatrical release in next year. The band has often been well-known for their hedonistic lifestyle and image of their members.
