Tom DeLonge’s Net Worth, Biography, Career, Awards, Fact and Life Story

Tom DeLonge Net Worth: Tom DeLonge is an American musician, record producer, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $70 million. DeLonge is best known for being the co-lead guitarist, vocalist, and founder of Blink-182, although he has since formed the band Angels & Airwaves. Known for his nasal singing voice, Tom experienced massive success with Blink-182 during the late 90s and early 2000s but was eventually fired from the group after internal tensions rose. Outside of music, DeLonge is an accomplished entrepreneur who has started a range of clothing companies. In addition, Tom is a notable filmmaker and UFO researcher.Early Life: Tom DeLonge was born on December 13th of 1975 in Poway, California. Raised in a middle-class household, Tom’s father was an oil company exec and his mother was a mortgage broker. One of his first experiences with music was during a church camp when he played the guitar for the first time. He then received an acoustic guitar from a few friends at school one Christmas and started composing original songs for his two siblings.During this period, Tom became an avid skateboarder and started listening to punk music. Although he was constantly trying to start a band during his youth, he also spent most of his time skateboarding during his free time. During his last year of high school, Tom’s parents divorced and he moved out not long afterward.Career: Tom first started Blink-182 when he was 17 and still in high school. Drummer Scott Raynor and bassist Mark Hoppus started to jam and write music with DeLonge. In 1994, they recorded a demo cassette entitled “Buddha,” which raised the band’s credibility in the local scene. They were eventually signed by Cargo Records and released their debut album, “Cheshire Cat,” in 1995. The album fell on deaf ears, but critics later discovered its merits.After touring extensively, Blink-182 became a sought-after band in the eyes of multiple records labels. They eventually signed a new deal with Epitaph Records and released a second album, “Dude Ranch.” Although the album reached gold status, Raynor was fired after his heavy drinking impacted the performance of the band. Travis Barker stepped in to replace Raynor as the new drummer.The album “Enema of the State” was released in 1999 and propelled Blink-182 to insane levels of stardom. Singles like “What’s My Age Again?” and “All the Small Things” became some of the biggest hits of that era. “Enema of the State” went on to sell more than 15 million copies. A period of touring followed, and Tom followed up with “Box Car Racer,” a side project and album released in 2002.The fact that only Travis Barker and DeLonge worked on “Box Car Racer” made Hoppus feel slighted, and it sparked tension within the band. After the release of Blink-182’s eponymous album in 2003, Tom DeLonge became more and more distant from the band, which eventually resulted in his dismissal.After the dissolution of Blink-182, Tom started a new band called Angels & Airwaves. Tom reunited with the remaining members of Blink-182 in 2008 and released another album called “Neighborhoods.” He then left the group once again in 2015 and recorded his first solo album called “To the Stars… Demos, Odds and Ends.”Business Ventures: Tom DeLonge became involved in entrepreneurship from an early age, as he wasn’t convinced of Blink-182’s potential at the beginning of his musical career. In the late 90s, he started a holding group called Really Likable People (RLP). After investing $20,000 into the holding group, he created a website that sold clothing for youths. In 2001, he and a close friend started Atticus Clothing. DeLonge followed up a year later with Macbeth Footwear. In 2005, Atticus Clothing was sold.In 2007, Tom started a company called Modlife. This company allowed musicians to use an online platform to easy create websites and fan clubs with a focus on monetization.
