Dave Grohl Net Worth $260 Million
Grohl’s interest in music started in his adolescence, since he began taking guitar lessons from the age of twelve, and after his cousin took him to a few punk rock music shows, Dave knew that this is the path he wants to go.
Switching schools more than once for his marihuana use, Dave played the guitar in a few local bands. But playing the guitar was not enough for Grohl, so he thought him self to play drums and that’s what gave him the start to gain this huge net worth. At the age of seventeen David got a spot in a band named Scream, even though he did lie about his age while auditioning and claimed that he was twenty. Grohl dropped out of school in his junior year to go on tour with his new band and as he sad in his latter interviews he never regretted doing this. A few years latter when the Scream had split up, Dave got in touch with Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic and auditioned for one of the most powerful rock band- Nirvana.
