Marilyn Manson Net Worth $25 Million
After moving with his parents, Marilyn Manson became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida studying journalism and writing articles for 25th Parallel, a music magazine, but his net worth grew only very slowly. In 1989, Marilyn along with Scott Putesky formed the band called “Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids”, in which Marilyn was a singer and Scott a guitarist. The name “Marilyn Manson” is a juxtaposition of two names referring to two famous persons – murderer Charles Manson and an American sex symbol Marilyn Monroe. The shorter band name was soon adopted. In 1993 the singer, songwriter and record producer best known as the leader of the music project “Nine Inch Nails”, Trent Reznor, offered Brian the chance to join “Nine Inch Nails” on their upcoming tour and to sign with his new recording label. With the help of Reznor, “Marilyn Manson” produced their first album named “Portrait of an American Family” (1994). Thus, the 1990s was the time when Marilyn Manson’s net worth started growing.
The second album “Smells Like Children” was released in 1995. This also helped Marilyn to increase his net worth, as the album sold over one million copies and eventually received Platinum certification from Recording Industries Association of America.
As an actor, Marilyn took a variety of minor roles in such movies as “Jawbreaker” (1999), and “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things” (2004) which was directed by Asia Argento. Manson also appeared in “Party Monster” (1998), the movie directed by Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, and based on a true story of a Club Party organizer. The scandalous rock star also performed in several of the BMW Film series, as well as in several episodes of the comedy-drama “Californication” in 2013, in which he appeared as himself. Even the minor roles earned the artist a considerable amount of money, thus increasing Marilyn Manson’s net worth.
According to the music magazine “Hit Parader”, focusing on the genres of pop, hard rock and heavy metal, Manson has recently been included in their list of Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists.
In his personal life, Marilyn Manson was in a failed relationship with actress Rose McGowan from 1998 to 2001. His subsequent marriage to Dita Von Teese lasted for almost a year, but in 2006 also failed because of ”irreconcilable differences.” In 2010 Manson was engaged to Evan Rachael Wood, however, the engagement was cancelled one year after. His most recent relationship was with Lindsay Usich, however Marilyn has recently described himself as ‘newly single’.
