I wouldn't have thought she would have made that much, I would say good for her but apparently her mom stole it.

Yeah, her teeth are an unholy mess but people with good singing voices are very reluctant to have any major work done in the mouth and teeth area.

She didn't. She's exaggerating because she knows today's media won't call bullshite on her lies. She had one hit record that had two songs that went to number 2. That's it. Considering it was her debut and she was unknown prior to it, you can bet her contract gave the record company most of the profit from the sales of her record.

Sure, but these were bigger, pre-internet album sales. Plus, you forgot touring, and she was very popular on tour. Aside from the hits, the rest of her catalog was basically folky porn, and she did huge shows. I knew dudes who had her album.

connie francis claims her voice was ruined by a nose job

I can't believe singers would ever smoke (tobacco, grass, or whatever), as that often harms the voice

Aren't her parents the Alaska folks? Thought they were on good terms?






Her grandfather helped write the Alaska constitution. Anyway, those celebrity net worth websites estimate hers at anywhere between 14-40 million. Take the low-ball figure and cut it in half and she's still not hurting.

I think the family has been/is independently wealthy from Jewel. I’m not sure that she provided anything monetarily to their homestead and has never been asked to, so maybe that has played a role in her seemingly good relationship with her father.

On a side note, I always get a kick out of these yuppies that watch that show, move to an area in BFE, buy some chickens, and then spend all of their time complaining in town at the coffee shop in their Carhart suit.

I've seen this wording used by other artists who went broke. Jewel, the individual, has never seen close to $100 million. She's probably generated 100 million in revenue through record sales and touring and now has nothing from it.

Her mom probably made off with $10 million. Still shitty.

The official story is she and her mother were living in their car before she hit it big

This is why Freddie Mercury didn't get those massive choppers fixed.

I'm legit curious how you run through 100 million dollars. I can't even wrap my head around that much money.

I meant her dad’s side. It took a little while, but Jewel finally found out what her dad always knew about her mother.

Mike Tyson claims to have lost $300M

MC Hammer claims $30M

George Harrison was robbed of tens of $M by his business partner. That's the only reason the Beatles Anthology reunion happened at all -- George needed the money.

Leonard Tose, owner of the Phila Eagles, lost all his money (gambling when casinos got him drunk, he claimed) and ended up living in a small hotel suite paid for by his former coach Dick Vermeil

Fox in regurgitating old news, for clicks i guess.

Just for future reference, don't be shocked that the US bought Louisiana real cheap in today's dollars. Only 3 Cents an acre.

if you stared a thread about all entertainers, and that would include pro athletes, that blew through their fortunes it would surpass the "pic from days gone by..." thread before dark today
