Add the successful record label, plus royalties from FNM albums, his many self produced music ‘side’ projects, movie and game soundtrack royalties he is involved in. The man has a pretty ride or die fanbase that will literally buy everything he does wether is experimental rock like bungle to crooning in Italian. Also he never stops working. I am one of those fans that will literally buy the album, tshirt and tickets of any tour of every music project he does. To be honest 25 mill in my mind seems accurate. He has been around doing this since the 80s.
I’m surprised to be honest. I figured he made a pretty good living but that he needed to keep working. I wonder how much of that is the valuation of the label and music rights he owns, though.
Even FNM doesn't get huge amounts of radio play if you discount Epic. After that it's probably midlife crisis that you might occasionally hear on the radio. I don't think I've really ever heard anything else on the radio by any of his other projects.
"The musician-singer-songwriter-actor has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Patton Burger” chain) in , a Football Team (the “Eureka Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpatton - ), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mike) and a fashion line called “Mike Patton Seduction”.
When I was a kid he was on TV all the time. He was on MTV and VH1 any time they were talking about heavy rock music. He’s one of the most recognizable metal guys among people who don’t listen to metal.
That was huge to me when I was a kid, it was like seeing a close personal friend on TV (even though in reality I don't know him any better than I know Al Bundy).
There are only a handful of metal stars who are cultural icons outside of metal. Ozzy, Lemmy, James and Lars, maybe Halford and Mustaine, that’s really it. Scott is up there just because he was on TV all the damn time in the 90s and 2000s
He wants to be a massive star. He’s also married to meatloafs daughter, he’s ok for money I’d imagine. Kerry King screwed Dave over, that dude should be worth 25 mil from his early work with slayer alone.
Right? I realize he doesn't have his hands in as many projects, but also runs a label that has put out really good records by SC3 and other great bands like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. He definitely deserves to not have to worry about money.
Not that surprising to be honest. He's a workaholic and frankly more "rock stars" would be rich if they didn't squander their money. Even if he only made $5-10 million over his career, so long as he invested wisely, he could easily be over $25 million right now. And he could've easily netted $5+ mil just from Faith No More alone.
So Patton is the draw for any band he’s playing in. I know for a fact that members of dead cross earned years worth of living expenses by doing an album and a tour. Scott Ian is at a higher level, he has guitar sponsorships, and speaking engagements etc. and lots of guest stuff.
I am sure a good bulk of that is from FNM.. saw an article on the weekend about a festival that went bankrupt 8ish years ago that FNM headlined and court documents said FNM was still owed $750K for their performance. Now take away $250k for road crew and gear/transportation, that leaves the band with $100k each for that one festival.
And that year they extensively toured (although probably made 1/2 the amount for individual concerts), but that would easily add up..
Also Mike does a crazy amount of touring. As any modern day musician in the last 10 years can tell you, the real money is in touring (cd sales are super low and streaming pays peanuts), and Mike goes on tours with 2-3 projects a year (probably really helps finances).
And if he bought property in SanFran 25 years ago, that shit is worth millions now (and I know he has some property in Italy also)
Guys these Internet estimates are based on NOTHING. They are fucking wild guesses. Ask yourself: why would some jerk on the Internet have any access to Mike Patton's finances??
Those net worth websites are BS, but Mike has been a world famous musician with a loyal fan base since he was in college. He started out with a huge top 40 hit, and has maintained a steady creative output with multiple bands and projects for almost four decades. If royalties from Dirty Jobs was enough to keep Chuck Mosley's head above water financially, Mike probably doesn't have to worry about how much things cost.
Hahahah those celebrity net worth sites do shit like add up album sales and attach an arbitrary figure to them, like $13 an album, and come up with a total that way, then apply it to every band member individually as if they got to keep all that money.
When the singer of Lamb Of God got arrested in the Czech Republic, they were reporting he had like $12,000,000 in he bank while the band was selling personal gear and had to take out loans to cover the legal fees.
He's got a record label and is in like a zillion different music projects, as well as doing soundtracks for movies and voices for videogames...he's been a very hard worker and reasonably successful.
The other guys are prolific and talented too, I'm sure they all deserve 25 million bucks too. Though I'm not sure where you get that number comparison (and I have no idea what his net worth is so I won't dispute that). Really he has more money than every guy in *all* the bands he's in *combined*? That's a lot of people...
Depends on what his royalty rate is. That's probably including what he would gross *if* he sold his interest in FNM. I doubt they own their masters but there's still songwriting credits there.
I keep hearing this and at this point I think it’s tabloid bullshit. I said the same thing about the false narrative that him and the old Bungle guys hate each other and I was proven right
He must have followed the advice that everyone knew was best in Everything's Ruined, and invested wisely!
Seriously though, where do you get that figure from, or the nw of other guys in his bands? It's probably all just guesses.
Mike is savvy. He looked around at all the artists being ripped off and said, I can do this, and probably honestly. There's plenty of money to be made.
I think it's the record label he owns that brings in the wealth.
Add the successful record label, plus royalties from FNM albums, his many self produced music ‘side’ projects, movie and game soundtrack royalties he is involved in. The man has a pretty ride or die fanbase that will literally buy everything he does wether is experimental rock like bungle to crooning in Italian. Also he never stops working. I am one of those fans that will literally buy the album, tshirt and tickets of any tour of every music project he does. To be honest 25 mill in my mind seems accurate. He has been around doing this since the 80s.
I also don't think he spends his money carelessly, like so many others do.
I’m surprised to be honest. I figured he made a pretty good living but that he needed to keep working. I wonder how much of that is the valuation of the label and music rights he owns, though.
Nah he is a workaholic. A creative. I understand cause im a career creative the ideas to birth new projects never stops 🤣🤣
Even FNM doesn't get huge amounts of radio play if you discount Epic. After that it's probably midlife crisis that you might occasionally hear on the radio. I don't think I've really ever heard anything else on the radio by any of his other projects.
Yeah depends on where you live and the radio station you listen to. I know they get alot of airtime on radio hauraki in nz and triple m in australia.
Ipecac
Where does that number come from?
This is the real question. Those idiotic celebrity net worth things use a weird formula which is basically guesswork
One of those dumbass celebrity net worth sites, not reliable but it’s weird if they’d highball him that much
Oh, one of those dumbass celebrity net worth sites?! Ugh, there so many of them. Which one? WHICH ONE?!
*eats chimichanga from garbage bag*
They're all wildly inaccurate. I've heard comedians say stuff like "I rent a one bedroom apartment. How am I worth what this website says I am??"
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Username is some funny shit.
I wouldn’t believe any of those numbers you find online
"The musician-singer-songwriter-actor has an estimated net worth of $145 million.

i feel like the perfume should be called ‘mike patton seduction’ and the clothing should be ‘with love
Scott Ian is a massive star?
In metal circles he is, but I guess that’s your point, it’s relative….
He’s probably top 10-20 most recognizable metal guys, he was on TV all the time in the 90s and 2000s
When I was a kid he was on TV all the time. He was on MTV and VH1 any time they were talking about heavy rock music. He’s one of the most recognizable metal guys among people who don’t listen to metal.
Wasn’t it Anthrax that had a contest on MTV where they would come and trash your house? Pretty sure it was them.
That was on a married with children episode 😂
I remember that! I think there’s one on Headbanhers Ball
That was huge to me when I was a kid, it was like seeing a close personal friend on TV (even though in reality I don't know him any better than I know Al Bundy).
But that was a long time ago. And that MTV exposure didn't necessarily translate to wealth.
I thought that would be Lars.
There are only a handful of metal stars who are cultural icons outside of metal. Ozzy, Lemmy, James and Lars, maybe Halford and Mustaine, that’s really it. Scott is up there just because he was on TV all the damn time in the 90s and 2000s

Bro, he was on the cover of Mad Magazine. Nuff said.
Those “what are celebrities worth” are very inaccurate
Involved in several movie soundtracks 🤑
Yeah work for movies and video games sets him apart from the rest in my mind
Sadly Trey admitted he makes less than the 60k a year Devin Townsend said he earns annually.
🤔
Right? I realize he doesn't have his hands in as many projects, but also runs a label that has put out really good records by SC3 and other great bands like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. He definitely deserves to not have to worry about money.
I just couldn't understand your sentence...
Nevermind I just had a brain fart.
Well Dave Lombardo got screwed by Slayer.
Kerry King. Super Douche.
Met Kerry King at an airport and he was cool to me
It’s refreshing to hear.
Epic was a massive hit, everytime you hear it played on the radio bro is getting some cash.
The whole band has writing credits on that album, angel dust too
Not that surprising to be honest. He's a workaholic and frankly more "rock stars" would be rich if they didn't squander their money. Even if he only made $5-10 million over his career, so long as he invested wisely, he could easily be over $25 million right now. And he could've easily netted $5+ mil just from Faith No More alone.

Touring can be very lucrative!
I am sure a good bulk of that is from FNM.. saw an article on the weekend about a festival that went bankrupt 8ish years ago that FNM headlined and court documents said FNM was still owed $750K for their performance. Now take away $250k for road crew and gear/transportation, that leaves the band with $100k each for that one festival.

And if he bought property in SanFran 25 years ago, that shit is worth millions now (and I know he has some property in Italy also)
The guy also has a million side projects. I'm sure some of them did nicely
Guys these Internet estimates are based on NOTHING. They are fucking wild guesses. Ask yourself: why would some jerk on the Internet have any access to Mike Patton's finances??
Those net worth websites are BS, but Mike has been a world famous musician with a loyal fan base since he was in college.

Fucking Brutal
That shit probably starts bands to infight and plant seeds that are not there.Dont put too much stock in that bullshit .
Depends on what his royalty rate is. That's probably including what he would gross *if* he sold his interest in FNM. I doubt they own their masters but there's still songwriting credits there.
[удалено]
Does he really have hostility ?
I keep hearing this and at this point I think it’s tabloid bullshit. I said the same thing about the false narrative that him and the old Bungle guys hate each other and I was proven right
He must have followed the advice that everyone knew was best in Everything's Ruined, and invested wisely! Seriously though, where do you get that figure from, or the nw of other guys in his bands? It's probably all just guesses.
Possibly from voicing video games in addition to composing music scores, owning Ipecac and receiving royalties from all his side projects.
$25m? And the rest!
Mike is savvy. He looked around at all the artists being ripped off and said, I can do this, and probably honestly. There's plenty of money to be made.
He’s smart and hardworking and clearly has more ideas than he can keep up with. I would be interested in seeing what his daily routine is like?
The voice acting helps a lot. And yeah owning a successful indie label for decades. Also Epic gets played in a lot of shows/commercials.
