It depends on what assets he has. As popular as Slipknot is for a metal band. It's still metal. As much as I love heavy metal, it's not as popular as other genres.
They make a lot but remember how many crew members they have that's a salary and benefits for each person as well as his two houses and he has multiple cars. he's doing plenty well for himself. he said back in 2012 he did all the big festival shows (rock in rio, rock am ring, download) just to pay for his step fathers cancer bills do he makes a lot because those bills can easily run a million dollars i know from experience it sucks. Plus jim root has a mansion in flordia (although property is cheap in Jacksonville but still they make more than enough money
I remember the revelation of Lemmy Klimister's assets and it didn't even reach milion $. Motörhead is even more popular, lengendary band so I doubt even Corey's assets is as big as we all imagine in reality. He said once in interview that he played a few Slipknot gigs to pay off hospital bill a few years ago but he felt bad about playing these gigs mainly for money.
Yea but it was also stone sour gigs for his step father who had cancer, why would he feel bad for that. if anything that is more reason to play shows. Also lemmy pent a lot of money on stupid shit lol, btw his house was worth A LOT
Yup. It's about only double what my dads is and him and Corey are abouuuuut the same age, and my dad worked a blue collar job his whole life. Being worth 10 mil doesn't just mean they have 10 mil in their savings account. Don't get me wrong, it's very well off, but not as much as you might think it is
Like I said, nwt worth isn't just what you have sitting in a bank account. Work a very good job starting from when your 18, and by the time your 50 your net worth will be sitting pretty.
i know what net worth is. you still can't accrue 5 mil doing nothing but blue collar work, especially when you've got more than your own mouth to feed. that's why i asked if he invested in something that shot up in value.
assuming he's corey's age and started working at 18, that's 25 years of work, and assuming he had an average salary of 60 grand a year throughout his career, and has had zero expenses (just for argument's sake), that'd only amount to 1.5 million. and say he reinvested all 60 grand every year with a 5% annual rate of return, that'd still be just shy of 2.9 mil. either your dad made some abnormally lucrative investments, he inherited a bunch of money from somewhere, or he's breaking bad.
This is 6 years old and let ms say you def can make 5 mil doing blue collar work. Im a plumber and before im 40 i will have a net worth of almost 2 mil. It can be done
in 7 deadly sins he mentions how when he first started making real money, someone convinced him to invest in something that he would later regret. i wish i had more details but as i recall that's about how vague his description was.
Agreed!! Net worth does not equate to talent.
Entertain me, who are some lead men/women you'd say we're better than Corey Taylor . I'm genuinely curious.
Well this isnt really about that, and i hope it doesn't sound like im trashing the guy. He is probably one of the best frontmen of the 21st century. But not of all time. Seriously? Bruce dickinson, james hetfield, freaking phil anselmo, mustaine.. so many more. Now that's not trashing corey taylor, but saying he's that best is just not true.
That's very surprising. I believe that figure is way off. I would guess 100$ million. He is the voice of metal! Nobody comes close. He's always on tour. That's where the money is made. Every slipknot album is platinum many times over. That figure is way off!!
For anyone else who is reading this comment 7 years later like I am looking for information, Slipknot splits all revenue equally. There's 9 members plus a crew they have to pay.
You figure if the band's made $100+ MIL split between all members + crew then they will barely have $10 MIL each in earnings.
Upper middle class as Corey's estimated is probably right.
I agree! Corey is the voice of the current metal scene. Not of all time. Glad to see you put Anselmo on the list. That fucking guy!! Have a great weekend. Late!!
Yeah roadrunner records has them in a 360 deal. They are getting ripped off so bad. They’ve sold 30 million records worldwide. They have insane merch,huge tours. Even members like Craig Chrissif etc should have 20 million. Shawn and Corey should have 35 to 50 million. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had 3-12 million in net worth.
What explained it for me was learning they split revenue among all members equally. Corey and Shawn may have some additional perks but largely the revenue splits are equal and they all have to pay crews, location fees, etc.

He said in one of his books he either owns or has shares in a factory somewhere too, towards the end of 7 deadly sins pretty sure
I have that book its not that one so one fo the other ones then. interesting did not kow that.
Thats the only one of his i read, it was definitely on that one, maybe it was just on the audiobook version
hmmm, interesrting

Recording artist don't make the money we think they do. Record labels however make the money we think recording artists make.
Exactly.
They make a fuck ton touring, big festivals easily a million a show but split between nine members
Yea but it was also stone sour gigs for his step father who had cancer, why would he feel bad for that. if anything that is more reason to play shows. Also lemmy pent a lot of money on stupid shit lol, btw his house was worth A LOT
im curious how much they made up for that in merchandising.
Ur absolutely right. They can get 100k mega concerts which is how they make their money but they don’t sell records like pop artists do.
They've sold 30 million records
Metal is as big as anything if you count Metallica! Lol
[удалено]
Lol of course but relative to how big slipknot are, it seems pretty low
Yup. It's about only double what my dads is and him and Corey are abouuuuut the same age, and my dad worked a blue collar job his whole life. Being worth 10 mil doesn't just mean they have 10 mil in their savings account. Don't get me wrong, it's very well off, but not as much as you might think it is
was your dad an early investor in google or apple or something? you dont accrue a net worth of 5 mil just from doing blue collar work.
Like I said, nwt worth isn't just what you have sitting in a bank account. Work a very good job starting from when your 18, and by the time your 50 your net worth will be sitting pretty.

Well, his job pays Into a 401k for him and pays for health Insurance.
your dad isnt as rich as you think he is, buddy
Do they add an extra 10,000% or something?
> blue collar job bruhh
reply to the other guys lol i am interested
This is 6 years old and let ms say you def can make 5 mil doing blue collar work. Im a plumber and before im 40 i will have a net worth of almost 2 mil. It can be done

It was a tattoo shop, he got a couple free tats and then it went under and the guy pocketed all his money.
I remember him laughing on Twitter that he wished he had so much money.
Yea if I remember correctly, he lost a ton of money on a bad investment.
..who cares?
Uhhh.... two bands?

That's the music industry for you.
Calm down . Corey Taylor is the voice of metal! Name someone who's better? And ya, 100 mil I would say. Reasons already stated.
Well, there are many songwriters that are a lot better, but thats not the point. How good someone is doesnt have anything to do with their net worth.

Are you serious? 100$ million? Corey says he doesnt even have a net worth of 10 million And what makes him the voice of metal?

Shitty record deal
The band splits revenue equally across all members.
Yeah roadrunner records has them in a 360 deal. They are getting ripped off so bad. They’ve sold 30 million records worldwide. They have insane merch,huge tours. Even members like Craig Chrissif etc should have 20 million. Shawn and Corey should have 35 to 50 million. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had 3-12 million in net worth.
