🎸 Greatest Richest Rock Bassists of All Time | Flea, Gene Simmons, Roger Waters

Being rich and famous is the dream of just about any kid that wants to become a “rock star”, but generally it’s the guitarists and singers who get the bulk of the money right? What about the richest bass players in the world? Are they truly rich or barely getting by?

It seems that many commenters are confusing wealth with talent.

[@Charles53412]

LOL, Just Geddy Lee's Baseball Collection is worth 50 Million!

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Geddy made around 40 million actually as did Alex and Neil, they pretty much decided to split everything three ways.

[@billmatheson3057]

I love how all they can say about Geddy is "Canadian Musician".

[@dudschigralf5802]

Steve Harris,Gründer und Hauptsongwriter von Iron Maiden einer der erfolgreichsten Rock/Metal Bands hat definitiv mehr

[@MaxHoukes]

How about Greg Lake of ELP, and Leland Sklar....

[@clarkmacgowan5114]

Sadly, Greg Lake was it really worth very much money after Emerson Lake and Palmer called it a day. They had a couple of disastrous problems on their last tour that cost millions. And that was in the seventies so it was probably like 10 million dollars today. Keith Emerson was kind of Indiscreet about it but he did say several years ago that he wanted a reunion because they could all use the money, especially him and greg.

[@MaxHoukes]

@@clarkmacgowan5114 The value of Greg Lake's estate is currently estimated between 10 and 15 million dollars.

Tal Wilkenfeld is georgous and love her hair 😍 💕 💘

[@melchizedekful]

can someone tell me how do you calculate the net worth of a musician that passed away almost 40 years ago? how does it make any sense? furthermore I know there are couple of sites about this net worth of celebrities but how do they get these information? are these clickbait sites are directly linked to the tax authorities? In my humble opinion these lists are basically have nothing to do with the reality

[@Disciple_Of_Lerxst]

None whatsoever. I read Noel Reddings book. With Hendrix, he never made any money other what he was given by management to live on. He spent the whole rest of his life trying to unravel where the money eent, who owned what music, and who owned the rights to the music. The Hendrix Experience was a perfect example of how management screwed acts, and bought and sold other people intellectual property and the legal paper trail just thinned and vanished in the wind.

[@cmonster67]

@@Disciple_Of_Lerxst Yeah, those recording companies are like the devil you sell your soul to for fame. If you don't know what you're doing (or your manager), once you sign that contract and receive that first advance, you are in so much debt... Scary shit...

[@hawaiian8213]

Don't let Gene find out he's in 3rd place 😂❤🤘

[@scottmilliman7423]

If it was based on talent, he wouldn't have made the list.

[@docwho10th88]

The bass players that also wrote the songs for the bands they were in like Sting. Waters and Simmons got paid the most lol. If you can write hits you are in the green!

[@chefsnider495]

Billy Sheehan

[@rudolfbecker4313]

as others wrote, there are some missing, for example John Myung of Dream Theater and I doubt, that Gary Thain of Uriah Heep made 17 million in 5 years in the 70s

[@bretttrommler756]

Totally agree. My man John Myung should definitely be in there. His net worth isn’t no half a billion like Sir Paul, but 10 million should still be on the list.

[@billmoran3219]

What about Curly Howard, he played the stand up bass, sometimes with his belly!

[@rossbrumby1957]

N'yuk n'yuk!

How in the hell did Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick not make this list???? He plays a friggin 12 string bass!!!!!! 😱

[@bretttrommler756]

Cuz everyone knows Cheap Trick are nothing but teeny bopper pop rock that all sounds the same. That guy has no place on this list, but then neither should Gene Simmons and a couple others.

[@t3angling575]

This based on “richest” not “greatest”.

[@petervertefeuille9926]

@@bretttrommler756 you obviously have not heard any of Cheap Tricks albums, or you wouldn’t be spouting such nonsense. They’re the most diversified band in the world with a catalog of music that blow most bands out of the water !!open your ears, before you open your mouth ! You pick the cheap trick album and listen to it from front to back and see if you still feel the same way about being a teeny bopper band I might suggest their debut album But any album you pick will blow most any records out of the water

[@bretttrommler756]

[@petervertefeuille9926]

@@bretttrommler756 Cheap trick gets written off as just another band, but they are an exceptionally talented especially in the vocals with Robin Zander, having earned the title the man with 1000 voices, which makes each sound different. RickNielsen writing is second to none The song heaven tonight about being too high, and never coming down will scare you The hit songs are not an indication of how great their albums are. I have yet to find a band that Compares to what they do every album, other than the Beatles who cheap Trick are compared to ,no other band has shown me diversification like these guys

John Taylor is mentioned twice on this list (#37 and #34).

The amount of worth on these guys doesn't reflect on the actual truth as to who is the most talented unfortunately!! Geddy Lee and Chris Squire are head and shoulders above most other bass players, they're ability and creativity are unmatched!!
