Barry Gibb Net Worth
Barry Alan Crompton Gibb's Net Worth as of 2024
$50 Million
A founding member of one of the world’s most commercially successful pop groups – the Bee Gees – the English-Australian songwriter, singer and musician Barry Alan Crompton Gibb was born on 1 September 1946, in Douglas on the Isle of Man, UK, and has had a hugely successful career, as the Bee Gees have a reputation as having been outsold only by greats Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney – and that certainly goes a long way in explaining Gibb’s considerable net worth.
So just how rich is Barry Gibb? Sources indicate that Barry has an estimated net worth of over $50 million, accumulated during his career in the music industry now spanning more than 50 years.
Barry Gibb Net Worth $50 Million
Barry Gibb was born into a musical family – his father Hugh was a drummer, working in several hotels across Barry’s home town of Douglas. Though he does have an older sister, Lesley Evans, Barry was the oldest of the three Gibbs brothers – the twins Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb were born several years after him, when the family had already moved to live in a different part of Douglas. Later, the family would move to live in Manchester, and it was there that the three future Bee Gees”first entered the world of music, forming the band The Rattlesnakes together with two of their neighbourhood friends, but which was disbanded when the Gibbs moved away to Australia in 1958.
It was in Brisbane, Australia that the world-famous Bee Gees first came to be. Barry Gibb had been composing and writing songs for a while before then, but it was while working together with his two brothers that Gibb’s talent truly shone through. The Bee Gees appeared on Australian television for the first time in 1960, and they would be noticed and subsequently promoted by Australian rock musician and entrepreneur Col Joye. Within a few years, the Bee Gees were breaking through to the top of the world of show business.
Such and similar early successes contributed to Barry Gibb’s growing fame and net worth. By the time the “Bee Gees” moved back to England in 1967, they were already well known in Australia – and worldwide success would soon follow with the debut of their first international album, “Bee Gees’ 1st”. The Bee Gees subsequently released more than 30 albums over more than 30 years, and an impressive 85 singles. They won more than 15 music awards, and Barry Gibb and his brothers, Maurice posthumously, were honoured by being made Commanders in the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth at a ceremony in 2004.
Barry Gibb would continue to perform alongside his brothers until the band disbanded in 2003 following the death of Maurice Gibb – having been active for 45 long, successful years. Robin subsequently died in 2012.
By and large, Barry Gibb owes his net worth to his time performing together with his brothers Robin and Maurice in the Bee Gees – the band is counted among the most successful in the world. Additionally, only Paul McCartney has been a more successful pop song writer. Barry has received numerous other awards and holds several records, including having the most consecutive Hot 100 #1 hits at six, and being the only songwriter ever to have had five of his songs featured in the Top Ten all at once.
Barry Gibb continues to perform solo to this day, releasing a number of albums and recently announcing plans to tour the US, partly to promote and maintain recognition of his brothers.
In his personal life, Barry Gibb lives together with his wife, Linda, to whom he has been married since 1970, in either of their two family homes – one in Miami, and the other in Buckinghamshire, England. Gibb and his wife have five children. Barry was formerly married to Maureen Bates(1966-70).
Actresses
Milla Jovovich Net Worth
Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.
So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.
Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million
Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.
However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.
Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.
As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.
As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.
Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.

It makes no sense that Bryan Adams is worth $15 million more than Barry Gibb. Barry Gibb should be worth at least 4x what Bryan Adams is worth unless Gibbs failed at nearly every investment he ever made, which doesn’t make sense. I think these celebrity net worth figures are numbers pulled out of the air because a lot of other figures on other celebrities makes no sense either.
