What Is Elton John’s Net Worth Today?
Elton John is one of those singers almost everyone has heard of. He’s been in the business for more than 50 years and has a whole catalog of tunes that can get stuck in your head with just a mention of “Rocket Man” or “Crocodile Rock.”
But John is now making headlines for something that doesn’t have anything to do with hit records or chart-topping singles. Here’s what the musician has just revealed about his health, plus a few other things you may not have known about the entertainer including how old he is and what his net worth is today.
John’s age and net worth
Sir Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, to parents Sheila Eileen and Stanley Dwight. John’s father, who served in the Royal Air Force, was a musician as well. He was a trumpet player in a semi-professional big band that played at military dances.
John began taking piano lessons when he was 7 years old, and at the age of 11 won a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. He formed the band Bluesology in 1966 and that’s when he adopted his stage name.
John released his self-titled debut album in 1970 which spawned plenty of hits. He went on to release more than two dozen Top 10 singles, 38 gold records, 31 platinum and multi-platinum albums, and sold over 300 million records worldwide making him one of the biggest-selling music artists of all time. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. According to Celebrity Net Worth, John has an estimated net worth today of $650 million.
In 1993, John began dating David Furnish, a former advertising executive turned filmmaker from Toronto. The couple married in 2005 and have two sons, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.
The singer just shared news with fans regarding his health
On Sept. 3, 2024, John took to Instagram to share news about his health and how he’s been spending the summer recovering.
“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the superstar wrote. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.
“I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”
After John’s announcement, many of his fans as well as his celebrity pals, sent well wishes including Donatella Versace who posted: “Sending you so much love, Elton! Feel better soon. Love you.”
