However, his love for music and drums took over; since an early age he had played drums and looked-up to some of the most successful drummers of the rock music scene, including John Bonham, Bill Bruford and Keith Moon, among others. While at University, Jon met Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon with whom he started the band Phish. He also left University of Vermont and alongside Trey Anastasio continued his education at Goddard College.

Parallel with his education, Jon worked on music, and Phish released its first album in 1989, entitled “Junta”, which was they released on their own, but after the initial success of the album, they signed with Elektra Records and the album achieved platinum status, which only increased Jon’s net worth and encouraged him and the rest of the group to continue to work together.

The band continued to dominate the music scene through the ‘90s, with the albums “A Picture of Nectar” (1992), “Rift” (1993), and “Billy Breathes” (1996), all of which achieved gold status, adding a substantial amount to Jon’s wealth.

They split up in 2000, but before that, released their eighth album, “Farmhouse” (2000), which also achieved gold status. Phish reunited in 2002 and released two more albums before again going on hiatus in 2004, which lasted until 2009. Since then they are regularly on tour and in the studio, and most recently have released their 13th studio album “Big Boat”.

Jon has also collaborated with other bands; he is the drummer of the rock band Pork Tornado, and has also played with Jamie Masefield and his Jazz Mandolin Project, which has improved his net worth too.

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.
