Iggy Pop Is Worth A Lot More Than You Think

Publish date: 2024-04-07

As Deutche Welle's 2017 article celebrating Iggy Pop's 70th birthday notes, the man born James Newell Osterberg, Jr. spent many, many years struggling with heroin, a substance that ultimately disbanded The Stooges in 1974. As such, it's easy to assume that an old rock star with a longtime substance abuse issue might not be all that wealthy. 

That may seem logical line of thinking, but then again, Pop and The Stooges did reunite in 2003. They released new music, and toured a lot, and were eventually inducted in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. He picked up a side gig as an actor, collaborating with director Jim Jarmusch in multiple films. Oh, and he's kept his solo career going, as well. In other words, Pop has managed to survive his wild and successful youth and his drug use, and turn into a still surprisingly ripped elderly statesman of rock. This reflects quite well on his personal finances, seeing as according to Celebrity Net Worth, Pop's net worth is no less than $20 million.
