A British rock singer named Eric Clapton, CBE, has a $450 million fortune. Blues-rock guitarist, composer, singer, and songwriter Clapton is ranked #53 on “Rolling Stone” magazine’s list of the Top 100 Artists Of All Time and ranked #2 on their list of the best guitarists. He has also been inducted three times into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a solo artist and with the Yardbirds and Cream).
Eric is one of the best-selling artists in history with more than 100 million albums sold, and his 21 solo studio albums (the majority of which have received gold or higher certification) have given rise to hits like “After Midnight,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Wonderful Tonight,” and the Grammy-winning acoustic rendition of “Layla.”
Financial Decisions
He was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1995, a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2004, and a Commandeur de Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2017. Clapton has received a plethora of honors for his work, including 17 Grammys. Eric’s singing career has undoubtedly contributed to the majority of his fame and wealth, but he also has sizable holdings in real estate, fine art, and vehicles.
His collection of automobiles, which includes several really rare Ferraris, is easily worth $50 million or maybe $100 million. It’s quite challenging to estimate the worth of his art collection, but take this incident into consideration: in 2001, he spent $3.4 million on three Gerhard Richter paintings. In the end, he sold them one by one, for a total of $77.3 million.
The song “Tears in Heaven,” which was influenced by the terrible loss of Clapton’s four-year-old son, won Clapton three Grammy Awards that year: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. For his work with Cream, Clapton also got the Lifetime Achievement Award. According to Where’s Eric! Eric Clapton’s fan group has had several recordings recognized as gold, platinum, multi-platinum, or diamond. This indicates that the records generated more than 500,000 sales of gold and more than 10,000,000 sales of diamonds.
Career And Accolades
Although Clapton also works as a composer, actor, and producer, his illustrious career as a recording artist and performer provides the majority of his income. According to IMDb, he composed the scores for all four “Lethal Weapon” films. He wrote the soundtrack for the 2015 documentary “Three Days in Auschwitz” in addition to producing the movie.
Money is not merely left sitting in the bank for Eric Clapton. He is an astute boat, art, and real estate, investor. Additionally, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the value of his huge Ferrari collection might range from $50 million to $100 million.
