American singer, songwriter, musician, and occasional actor James Newell “Jim” Osterberg, Jr., or known as Iggy Pop has an estimated net worth of $20 million. He is considered as the godfather of punk — every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-’60s/early-’70s band, the Stooges.
Iggy Pop gained his net worth by being the lead vocalist and songwriter for The Stooges. Osterberg was born on April 21, 1947 in Muskegon, Michigan, United States.
