Chris Robinson Net Worth $18 million
Raised in Georgia, Chris was interested in music starting in his teenage years. Chris was inspired by the rock bands The Faces and The Rolling Stones so much that he, along with his brother Rich Robinson founded the band “Mr. Crowe’s Garden” in 1980. In the initial years of its formation, the band did not perform very well. Meanwhile, Chris attended Wofford College in Carolina and after graduating, he went on to change the name of his band to “The Black Crowes” in 1989, and soon the band was signed to music production label “Def American” owned by Rick Rubin. The band released their debut album entitled “Shake Your Money Maker” in 1990, and in 1992 their second album “The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion”, which consisted of four chart-topping hits including “Remedy”, “Sting Me”, “Thorn In My Pride” and “Hotel Illness”. Thus, the success of the band and their albums in the market started adding well to Chris Robinson’s net worth.
In 1997, the band took a break after the death of Jerry Garcia, one of the band members of “The Black Crowes”. During this time, Chris started pursuing his solo career as a singer, releasing his critically acclaimed debut album “New Earth Mud” in 2002, with help from Eddie Harsch and Paul Stacey, his friends from “The Black Crowes”. As the album became successful in the market, Chris toured along with Eddie and Paul and the trio along with Dean DeLeo later named their band “New Earth Mud”. As a solo artist, Chris went on to release songs including “The Red Road” which appeared in the 2002 Goldie Hawn movie “The Banger Sisters”. Of course all of these successful ventures of Chris have been significant to Chris’s net worth over the years. In 2005, “The Black Crowes” reunited and has been performing even until this day.
