Joe McIntyre Net Worth $19 Million
Joe McIntyre spent his childhood in a Catholic family, the youngest of nine children of Thomas McIntyre, who was a union official, and his wife Katherine, who was an actress in the theater; his older sister Judith McIntyre is also known as an actress. He went to Catholic Memorial High School, a private school in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, from which he matriculated in 1990.
His career in the music industry began at the age of 13, when he became a member of the boy band called New Kids on the Block, replacing Mark Wahlberg. In no time, the band released two studio albums which topped the US Billboard charts – “Hangin’ Tough” (1988) and “Step By Step” (1990) – both of which added a considerable amount to Joe’s net worth. Soon, they became one of the highest paid boy bands in the 20th century, but they disbanded in 1994.
Nevertheless, Joe continued to pursue his career in the music industry as a solo artist. He released his debut studio album “Stay The Same” in 1998 through his own website, as he didn’t have any contract with a record label. In no time that changed, and he signed a recording contract with Sony Music USA, which re-released his album in 1999 and sold more than a million copies worldwide, contributing a lot to his net worth. The hit single with the same title peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2001, out came his second studio album “Meet Joe Mac”, but didn’t reach any major success. Afterwards, he released the album “8:09” in 2004, which peaked at No. 50 on the US Independent Chart, and two more albums – “Here We Go Again” (2009), and “Come Home For Christmas” (2011).
In 2008, the band New Kids on the Block reunited, and later that year released the studio album “The Block”, which peaked at No. 2 in the US and topped the Canadian chart, which increased Joe’s net worth by a large margin. Three years later, they began a tour alongside Backstreet Boys, followed by their first album in the next decade in 2011, entitled “NKOTBSB”, after which they released “10 (New Kids on the Block album)” in 2013. Most recently, they released the studio album entitled “Thankful” in 2017, and so Joe’s net worth is certainly rising.
Apart from his career as a musician, Joe is also known as an actor, making his debut appearance in the role of Matt Hucklebee in the 1995 film “The Fantasticks”. In 2002, he was chosen to portray Colin Flynn in the TV series “Boston Public”, which lasted for a season, and was followed by his starring in the title role in the film “Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding” (2004). Afterwards, he made several guest-starring appearances until he won the role of Jack O’Toole in the film entitled “On Broadway” in 2007. To speak further about his acting career, he also starred as Heath in the TV series “The Hotwives Of Orlando” (2014) and as Gerard McCarthy in another TV series entitled “The McCarthys” (2014-2015). Currently he appears in the role of Joey in the TV series “Return Of The Mac” (2017), which will certainly increase his fortune.
Speaking about his personal life, Joe McIntyre has been married to Barrett Williams since 2003; the couple has three children together, and their current residence is in Los Angeles, California.
