One of the most influential artists of all time Elton John has left a sign that is no longer wrong in the history of music. 30 albums then the song catalog is still resonating with the listener. Elton has countless awards including six Grammy awards, Five Brit Awards, and Golden Globe, he is one of the most known musicians in history. In 2012 he gained more than $ 40 million.
The source of his wealth is from his amazing album sales, concert tickets, and royalties of a number of movie soundtracks written and produced. During the five decades of his career, he sold more than 250 million albums. In June 2001 John sold 20 of his cars in Christie, said he did not get the chance to take them because he was so often abroad. He is also ranked one of the ten richest people in the British music industry. Today’s net wealth is $ 500 million.
Elton was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Middlesex England. He grew up in a middle class family but a very limiting household. His father who worked as a flight attendant in the Royal Air Force wanted him to work as a banker. His parents refused to support his music ambition. Today the legend explains the costume and personality of his stage is a way to release the obstacles given to him as a child. But what’s surprising is that his parents exposed him on music. They listened to Elvis Presley, quoted by Elton as a big influence and they gave him a piano lesson at the age of 3.
Today Elton’s influence has been recognized by the biggest pop star. Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Beyonce Knowles, Harry Styles from One Direction, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake all quoted him as influence.
At the peak of his career, he was engaged to marry his first lover, Secretary Linda Woodrow. He was reported to be an inspiration behind the song “Someone Save My Life Tonight”. Elton John was first married to German recorder Renate Blauel on February 14, 1984, at Darling Point, Sydney, with speculation that marriage was a protection for his homosexuality. John had come out as a bisexual in the 1976 interview with Rolling Stone, but after his divorce from Blauel in 1988 he told the magazine that he was “comfortable” to be gay.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer married his colleague David Furnish in 2005. Since then they have become parents for two sons through Surrogacy. Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John was born in LA on January 11, 2013. The couple’s first son, Zachary, was born on Christmas in 2010. They are currently planning a special wedding ceremony in Los Angeles. The couple plans to celebrate a highly anticipated elevator about the prohibition of gay marriage in the state of California with a usually luxurious party.
