Joan Jett net worth: Joan Jett is an American rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and occasional actress who has a net worth of $10 million. Joan Jett is best known for being the lead singer of the band Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. She had a number of hit songs, including “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” which spent seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Joan’s success as a rock and roll musician has earned her the title of the “Queen of Rock and Roll” and the “Godmother of Punk.”Early Life and Beginning of Career: Born on September 22, 1958 in Wynnewood Pennsylvania, Jett was given the name Joan Marie Larkin and was the first of her parents’ three children. Her father worked as an insurance salesman while her mother was a secretary. Her family moved several times throughout Jett’s childhood, first to Rockville, Maryland where Jett first began taking guitar lessons. Her musical interests continued to develop after another move to West Covina, California in Los Angeles county. Her parents divorced soon after and Jett officially changed from her birth name to Joan Jett, as she thought it sounded more rock and roll.The move to California proved very fortunate for Jett, as it was there that she co-founded the rock group, The Runaways, with drummer Sandy West, in 1975. Micki Steele, Jackie Fox, Cherie Currie, and Lita Ford joined the band soon after. Jett played rhythm guitar in the band in addition to sharing lead vocals. She also wrote much of the band’s material.The Runaways enjoyed success at home, where they opened for big names like Cheap Trick and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but were more popular abroad, especially in the UK and Japan. After producing five albums together, The Runaways disbanded in 1979, leaving Jett to pursue her solo career.Solo Career and Formation of the Joan Jett & the Blackhearts: Shortly after The Runaways disbanded, Jett traveled to England where she recorded a few songs for her solo career. One of these was an early version of “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” though this release was not the one that shot to popularity.Back in Los Angeles, Jett met producer Kenny Laguna while working on a film project based on The Runaways. With Laguna’s help, Jett released her first solo album in 1980 on their own independent label. While a strong solo artist, Jett felt compelled to again form a band, prompting her to place an ad in the newspaper seeking bandmembers.After forming Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Jett toured both the US and Europe. While the band slowly developed a fanbase, it was a challenge to keep the band afloat with enough money until a performance at the Palladium in New York City in 1981. The band released an album soon after, the first single being the title track – a re-released version of  “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Since its release, this track has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and remains the number 56 song of all time on the Billboard chart.Following this success, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts released Album in 1983 and Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth in 1984. The band released a large number of top hits, including “Bad Reputation” and “(I’m Gonna) Run Away, and also had even greater touring success, selling out shows alongside the Police and Aerosmith, among other big names, both in the United States and around the world.Joan Jett & the Blackhearts has remained together and has released an album as recently as 2013, Unvarnished. The band opened for the Who in 2015 and they are slated to perform alongside Poison and Def Leppard in 2021.Other Projects and Awards: Jett has also produced for a number of other artists and acted as executive producer for the film The Runaways, starring Kirsten Stewart, which follows the trajectory of The Runaways’ success.Additionally, Jett’s musical success has carried over to the sports world, as a number of her songs have been used in advertisements and theme songs by the NCAA, WWE, UFC, ESPN X Games, and Sunday Night Football.Jett has also appeared in a number of films and television series.

In 2015, Jett was a member of the 2015 Rock and Rolle Hall of Fame class.Personal Life & Controversies: Jett has been followed by rumors most of her life speculating as to whether or not she is a lesbian or bisexual, which she neither confirms nor denies. She is not publicly known to be dating anyone.In 2015, Jackie Fuchs, formerly Fox of the Runaways, came forward and accused Kim Fowley, a former manager of the Runaways, of raping her at a party in 1975.

Daddy Yankee Net Worth: Daddy Yankee is a Latin hip hop artist who has a net worth of $40 million. He is one of the most-famous and successful musical artists in the entertainment industry today. Early Life: Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, known professionally as Daddy Yankee, was born in Río Piedras, the largest distract of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on February 3, 1977. His father was also a musician; he was a salsa percussionist, what is known as bongosero. His mother has a manicurist, although she also came from a family of musician. He has a brother named Nomar.As a teenager, his dream was to be a professional Major League Baseball player. He actually was able to try out for the Seattle Mariners. However, his sport dreams were shattered when he got caught in the crossfire of a barrio gun battle, and sustained a bullet wound in his leg from an AK-47.Music Career: Ayala had first started singing and rapping at the age of 13, but it wasn’t until he was recovering from the bullet wounds that he had the opportunity to focus on his music career. He was inspired by the style of Vico C, DJ Playero, DJ Nelson, and DJ Drako, and combined their styles with his own to be one of the first artists to perform what is known as Reggaeton, a style of Spanish-language dancehall reggae. One of his first music appearances was on DJ Playero’s 1991 mixtape, “Playero 34”, with the song “So’ Persigueme, No Te Detengas”. His first official solo studio project was “No Mercy” (1995), which was released through White Lion Records and BM Records in Puerto Rico. Throughout the 1990s he continued to appear on several of DJ Playero’s mixtapes, many of which were bnned by the Puerto Rican government for explicit lyrics. He is considered to be one of the pioneers with the Reggaeton genre, and is actually credited by some as being the one who coined the term “Reggaeton” in 1994, along with DJ Playero. The two used the term to describe their music on their 1994 album “Playero 36”.In 1997, Ayala collaborated with the rapper Nas on the song “The Profecy”. Then he released two compilation albums “El Cartel” (1997) and “El Cartel II” (2001). They were very successful in Puerto Rico, but failed to gain any traction in the rest of Latin America. His first true international success came in 2002, when he released the album “El Cangri.com”. Other projects he worked on during this early period in his career include a collaboration with Nicky Jam, known as Los Cangris; a compilation album “Los Homerun-es” (2003); and the albums “Mas Flow” (2003) and “Mas Flow 2” (2005), which he worked on with prestigious reggaetón producers Luny Tunes.The third solo studio album by Ayala, “Barrio Fino” was released in 2004 by El Cartel Records and VI Music. It was actually the first release by El Cartel Records, Ayala’s record company that he co-owns with Andres Hernandez. The album was a hit across multiple regions, and sold over 500,000 copies in the United States alone. He followed up the album with an international tour, with stops in countries including the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Honduras, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, and the United States. One of the album’s singles in particular, “Gasolina”, was a huge international hit.He continued his success as a featured artist on N.O.R.E.’s single “Oye Mi Canto” (2004), which hit number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2005, he won several international awards, solidifying his position as a leading Latin music artist. These awards include Album of the Year for “Barrio Fino” at Lo Nuestro Awards; Reggaeton Album of the Year at the Latin Billboard Awards; eight nominations and seven awards for “Gasolina” as the second edition of Premios Juventud; and nominations for “Gasolina” at the Latin Grammy and MTV Video Music Awards”. The success of “Gasolina” actually led to the creation of a new radio format in the United States, as well as a new Billboard chart, “Latin Rhythm Airplay”. In 2006, Daddy Yankee was named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine, citing the over 2 million copies of “Barrio Fino” sold, as well as his $20 million contract with Interscope records, and Pepsi endorsement.Since then, Ayala has released several more albums including “El Cartel: The Big Boss” (2007), “Mundial” (2010), and “Prestige” (2012). He also has made guest appearances on the reggaetón compilation albums “Caribbean Connection” (2008), “Echo Presenta: Invasión” (2007), and “Mas Flow: Los Benjamins” (2006). Additionally, one of his most significant releases since “Gasolina” was the 2017 single “Despacito”, a collaboration with Latin pop singer Luis Fonsi. It was the first Spanish-language song to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since “Macarena” in 1996. Additionally, the music video for “Despacito” received its billionth view on April 20, 2017, and thus became the most watched video in YouTube history at the time. The success of “Despacito” led to Ayala becoming the most listened-to artist worldwide on the streaming service Spotify in 2017; he was the first Latin artist to achieve this. As of 2017, Ayala has won 82 awards from 270 nominations.Personal Life: Ayala has kept much of his personal life private.
