In the years since The White Stripes first rose to fame, Jack White has become one of the most respected figures in the music world. An extremely talented musician, White has worked with several legends of the business and he has released a slew of music that fans around the world have connected to. In fact, White has attained so much success that he said to be worth $50 Million.
These days, certain musicians always seem to be a big part of the conversation around popular music. For example, it often seems like the world can’t go a week without people like Justin Beiber, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Taylor Swift winding up in the news for one reason or another. While Jack White isn’t among the most talked-about musicians around, over the last several years he has kept busy touring and recording songs.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the vast majority of musicians to postpone their touring plans. With Jack White no longer on the road all of the time, it seems like most of his fans have lost track of what he has been up to. However, Jack White isn’t the kind of person who sits around and does nothing so it is interesting to take a closer look at his recent activity.
Jack’s Career
One of those rare people who seem to be able to do it all in their career field of choice, Jack White seems like he was born to bring music to the world. Best known for his tenure as one half of The White Stripes, Jack’s band with Meg White beat all the odds by having a unique sound and rising to fame.
In addition to Jack White’s time as a part of The White Stripes, he has released acclaimed music as a solo artist and as a part of his other bands, The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs. Amazingly enough, Jack has also shown interest in other artistic endeavors as he has given acting a try in movies like Cold Mountain, Coffee, and Cigarettes, and Walk Hard.
Impressive Fortune
Based on the fact that Jack White has been a big cog in the music business over the last 20 years, it makes perfect sense that according to celebritynetworth.com, he is worth $50 million. Of course, other musicians have a lot more money than White does, but that in no way diminishes how impressive his fortune is.
As for how Jack White has earned his incredible net worth, aside from his music career, he has made money from other ventures as well. Most notably, just like other celebrities who’ve founded their own music labels, White created Third Man Records in 2001. On top of releasing music from a variety of different performers, Third Man Records opened a business complex in Detroit that is open to paid visitors. Fortunately, in years past fans flocked to the location that is part concert space, part retail shop, and part record plant.
Jack’s Recent Activity
Given the fact that Jack White has an incredible amount of work ethic, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that even in 2020 he has kept himself busy. Not able to play music live for his legions of followers, White still wants to keep his longtime fans happy. In order to pull that off, he and Meg White have arranged to release a White Stripes Greatest Hits album on December 4th, 2020.
Always interested in helping his fellow musicians, in late-October 2020, Jack White came to the rescue of a street busker. After playing his music on the streets for a long time, Matt Grant suddenly found his world flipped upside down when a random person grabbed his guitar and smashed it. With the instrument that allowed him to make money and express himself destroyed, Grant was left with few options. Since Grant’s story had gone viral, when he entered a music store, he was recognized by the staff and they revealed that a “third party” had been trying to find him so they could buy him a guitar. As it turns out, Jack White was his mystery benefactor and he came through by buying him a brand new Fender.
On top of coming through for that street busker, when Lorne Michaels and the staff at Saturday Night Live were in need, Jack White was their knight in shining armor. Originally, country music star Morgan Wallen had been invited to play his music on the October 10th, 2020 edition of Saturday Night Live. Then Wallen was caught on camera partying indoors in a packed space where nobody was wearing masks during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Saturday Night Live disinvited Wallen and needed to find a new musical act with only two days' notice. Fortunately for everyone at SNL, Jack White came through for them in the clutch and he gave a captivating performance.
