Full Force is a group of producers, songwriters and R&B performers, which was founded in 1976 in New York City, New York, USA. They are widely known for their collaborations with several big names of the music industry including, among plenty of others, Britney Spears, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Lil’ Kim as well as 2016 Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan.

Have you ever wondered how much wealth the group has accumulated so far? What is the worth of Full Force? According to sources, it is estimated that the Full Force’s net worth, as of early 2017, exceeds the sum of $2 million which has been acquired through their long-lasting presence and works in the music industry which is now spanning over 40 years.

Full Force Net Worth $2 million

In 1976 in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn, the Music and production group Full Force was founded by six friends and cousins – Paul Anthony and Bow-Legged Lou (real name Lucien George Jr.) is in charge of vocals, Baby Gee (Gerry Charles) on keyboards, Curt-T-T (Curt Bedeau) and Shy Shy (Junior Clark) playing guitar and bass guitar respectively while B-Fine (Brian George) is responsible for drums and drum programming, with Steve Salem as their manager. Although struggling in the beginning, they independently released their debut single “Turn You On”.

Full Force gained more public attention in 1985, after producing and releasing the single “Roxanne, Roxanne” for Brooklyn’s old-school hip hop band U.T.F.O., a real commercial success, peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard R&B chart and bringing the needed fame and so recording contracts for Full Force, providing the basis for its net worth as well.

The group rose to prominence after they wrote and produced the hit single “I Wonder If I Take You Home” for Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam. The song became a commercial hit, at first in Columbia, before becoming a hit single on the New York club circuit, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Dance chart. It is certain that this accomplishment helped the members of Full Force to dramatically increase their, not only popularity, but wealth as well.

Apart from producing and writing, Full Force has also released ten of their own studio albums such as, among others, “Full Force” (1985), “Legendary” (2007) and “With Love From Our Friends” (2014), including over a dozen hit singles like “Temporary Love Thing”, “Unselfish Lover” as well as “All in My Mind” and “Alice, I Want You Just For Me!”. In their career in the music industry which has been active since 1976, the members of Full Force have collaborated with several big names including, apart from those already mentioned above, Selena, James Brown, Samantha Fox and La Toya Jackson as well as Backstreet Boys, Method Man and Roxanne Shanté. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have boosted the total size of Full Force’s net worth.

Apart from music, the Full Force crew appeared in the 1990 comedy “House Party” as well as its sequel “House Party 2” (1991). Judging by the movies box office earnings of $26.3 and $19.4 million respectively, these ventures significantly increased Full Force’s net worth by a large margin. They were also featured in Ted Demme’s directing debut, a 1993 comedy thriller “Who’s the Man” with Ed Lover and Doctor Dré in the leading roles.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth

Published

on

Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.

So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million

Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich  was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.

However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.

Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.

As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.

As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.

Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
