After matriculating from Thomas Spring Wootton High School in his hometown, Marc enrolled at Ohio State University. Under the influence of his older brother Jeff, who was Foxtrot Zulu’s drummer, Marc alongside his high school friends founded his own rock and jam band in 1996 – O.U.R., standing for “Of a Revolution” – and in the beginning consisted of four members – Marc as frontman, leading vocalist and guitarist; Richard On as the lead guitarist; Benj Gershman as bassist; and Chris Culos playing drums. Later the crew met Jerry DePizzo who is now on saxophone and guitar. From 2006, Mikel Paris joined the band and contributed with his keyboard-playing skills.
In 1997 the band released their debut album “The Wandered” which featured songs “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” and “Black Rock”, which are still quite popular as they became staples of their live performances. Their second studio album “Soul’s Aflame” hit the charts in 1999. Although Marc and his bandmates lacked formal marketing and mass media advertising, they gained an impressive amount of popularity. In the course of the next several years, O.U.R. led by Marc performed as often as it could, playing in sororities, fraternities, college campuses, Ohio’s bar and club circuit. These ventures and initial success earned a respectable dose of fame for Marc Roberge and O.U.R. and also provided the basis for his current net worth.
The band’s third album – “Risen” – was released in 2001, peaked at No. 11 of the Billboard Top Sales chart while the fourth one, “In Between Now and Then” didn’t manage to become a commercial success after releasing in 2003. However, the band’s real success and breakthrough in Marc Roberge’s music career occurred in 2005, when “Stories of a Stranger” hit the charts. It peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard 200 and provided hit singles “Heard the Word”, “Love and Memories” and “Lay Down”. These accomplishments were crowned by a great live performance in Madison Square Garden in New York City, which was vattended by over 18,000 fans. Doubtlessly, these achievements helped Marc Roberge to dramatically increase the total of his net worth.
Since then, O.U.R. led by Marc has released three more studio albums – “All Sides” (2008), “King” (2011) and “The Rockville LP” (2014) which featured hit singles such as “Over and Over”, “Heaven”, “Peace”, “I Go Through” and “Follow Me, Follow You”.In addition, they’ve released five live albums and one compilation, named “XX” and released in 2016 to mark their 20th anniversary.
Marc Roberge and his bandmates are the founders of Heard The Word foundation focused on supporting education and sustainable program for youth worldwide. In the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles, California, O.U.R. live performed at the opening and closing ceremonies.
When it comes to Marc Roberge’s personal life, he has managed to keep it mostly private, except that he is married to Nasim, with whom he has one child.

Today he has a net worth of $30 million, But Joshua’s first steps in his future career weren’t so notable for the rest of the world. As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.
The first real success came for Chasez after the formatIon of a band called ‘N Sync which has become extremely popular in the USA and Europe from 2000. Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”. This was one of the biggest investments in Joshua’s net worth, but the band have licensed their likenesses and released microphones, lip balm, marionettes, books, key chains, cloths and video games with their emblem. The band has also been dealing with McDonalds, Chilli’s Grill & Bar. In 2009 N’Sync was even immortalized in wax In New York’s Madame Tussaunds museum and can be seen there until today.

Unfortunately, nowadays JC Chasez’s career isn’t as successful as it was 10 years ago. His last released solo album “The Story of Kate” in 2007 didn’t appear in any charts, and since then JC Chasez has just made appearances in some other albums as a guest. He was talking about ‘N Sync reunion in 2011, but until today this ambition has not come to fruition.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
