To begin with, as a child he came early into contact with both Indian music and American country music; he learned to play the guitar and began to compose. His interests broadened to big band and rock and roll, and in 1958, he joined the backing group of the rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. The other Hawks were Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Jerry Penfound.

At the end of 1963, The Hawks became independent from Ronnie Hawkins, and in 1965 The Hawks became The Band. The Band settled near the town of Woodstock in a large pink building (The Big Pink) in 1967, and there gave birth to their first album “Music from the Big Pink” (1968). In the autumn of 1969, they released a second, self-titled album, and then “Stage Fright” (1970), in which Robertson gradually took the leadership. The first three albums received gold or platinum certificates for sales, and reached high positions on Billboard charts. In 1971, “Cahoots” was released, however, many disagreements arose among the band members, and finally at the end of 1976, the group gave a concert presented as a farewell at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, filmed by Martin Scorsese and his team for the movie “The Last Waltz”. After this, Robbie Robertson actually left The Band, and went on to compose film music, participate in various commemorations of the history of rock, and then re-record albums. His net worth grew steadily.

Concerning his solo career, Robertson released a self-titled album in 1987, which was certified gold in the USA and the UK, and double platinum in Canada just over a year after its release. This was followed by “Storyville” (1991) – it was based on the name of a district of brothels and bars in the city of New Orleans. In 1990, he contributed to the album of the pianist and Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto entitled “Beauty”.

In 1994, Robertson returned to his beginnings, appearing in a documentary with a Native American group in the series “The Native Americans”. In 2008 he joined Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Eric Clapton on stage to play the song “The Weight”, when The Band was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and in the same year Robertson alongside The Band received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Subsequently, “How To Become Clairvoyant” (2011) is the fifth solo album released by Robertson, which peaked in 13th position in the Billboard Top 200.

Finally, in the personal life of the musician and singer, Robbie Robertson married journalist Dominique Bourgeois in 1967, and they have three children. Currently, Robertson is single.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth

Published

on

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.
