Rod Stewart’s net worth
Stewart’s main source of wealth is music from an over five decades-long career. He has sold over 200 million records and has a net worth of well over $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Stewart’s success in selling many records makes him one of the best-selling musicians in music history. Turning 78 at the beginning of 2023, he is still releasing music. This means his net worth will likely increase, even as he extends his Las Vegas residency in 2022.
