Clarence Clemons Net Worth $9.5 Million
Clemons was born in Norfolk County, Virginia, into a family with two other siblings. His father was Clarence Clemons Sr., who worked as a fish market owner, and his mother Thelma – a homemaker. He was introduced into music at a very young age as his grandfather was a Southern Baptist who loved gospel music. When he was nine, Clemons’s father gave him a saxophone for Christmas, and his love affair with the instrument began. Soon he was playing with his high school band at Crestwood High School, but he also played football in high school that helped him gain a scholarship to college, later attending Maryland State College under a music and football scholarship. Although he was able to continue playing football in college, he suffered a car accident that prevented him from turning pro so he focused on music instead.
When he was 18, Clemons got his first studio experience recording with Tyrone Ashley’s Funky Music Machine. Soon, he joined his first band called The Vibratones, who he played with from 1961 to 1965. Simultaneously, he worked as counsellor at the Jamesburg Training School for Boys from 1962 until 1970, but his early years as a musician helped set up his career and also raise his net worth.
In 1971, Clemons’ world changed when he met Bruce Springsteen. Although there are various stories circling around on how they met, Clemons claimed that they met one night while Springsteen was playing in Asbury Park. From there the two started playing together, and he became a permanent part of Springsteen’s E Street Band until his death in 2011. Their long standing friendship helped elevate his career and tremendously raised his wealth.
Aside from working with Springsteen, Clemons also had his own solo career, and released a total of seven albums. He worked with various other artists too, including Aretha Franklin, Ringo Starr, Lady Gaga and Aja Kim. He was also known for his appearances in various television shows and films, such as “New York, New York”, and “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”. Other shows that he appeared in were “Human Target”, “The Simpsons”, “My Wife and Kids”, “The Wire” and “’Til Death”. His various projects as a solo artist all helped raise his net worth as well.
In terms of his personal life, Clemons was married five times, lastly to Victoria in 2008 – he had five children. On 12 June 2011, Clemons suffered stroke, and six days later he passed away in Palm Beach, Florida.
