Before Wealth & Fame

Elton John was born to parents Stanley Dwight and Sheila Eileen, both of whom were musically inclined.

Elton began his performances as early as six years old. Those were family parties and gatherings, and at the age of seven, he started formal piano lessons. Elton received his education at Pinner Wood Junior School, Pinner County Grammar School, and Reddiford School, but later abandoned his academics to pursue a music career.

Since he began playing the piano at such a young age, by the time he was 11, he had earned a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied for five years. During that time, he was obsessed with playing the works of Frederic Chopin and Johann Sebastian Bach. He also used to sing in the choir during Saturday classes.

Music Career

Elton’s first job was as a part-time pianist at a pub. After that, he worked at a music publishing house. He also performed at hotels and formed a band with his friends during that time.

In 1967, he collaborated with Bernie Taupin, with whom he created a song called ‘Scarecrow.’ This was around the same time that Reginald Kenneth Dwight changed his name to Elton John. By 1968, both Elton and Bernie had become songwriters for DJM Records, working with other musicians.

In 1969, Sir Elton John released his debut album, “Empty Sky,” which paved the way for the peak of his success. After that, the singer formed the Elton John Band and started releasing a bunch of influential albums.

1970 was the year when Elton hit number four on the Billboard 200 charts. After releasing the first couple of albums, he had a tremendous following, and in 1972, the artist revealed his next album, ‘Honky Château,’ which was Elton’s first-ever US number-one album.

‘Crocodile Rock’ was his first track to get on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts, and his album from 1973, named ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,’ was a smashing success. These songs sent him straight to the top, and he soon established his record label, The Rocket Record Company.

His 1974 album reached number one in both the UK and the US, and it was shortly followed by ‘Caribou’ and ‘Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.’

During the 1980s, Elton performed several live shows with his numerous smash hits like ‘I’m Still Standing,’ ‘Little Jeannie,’ and ‘I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues.’

During the early 1990s, he also collaborated with Tim Rice, working on music for Disney’s film “The Lion King”. Sir Elton John gained the highest recognition with the song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” which helped him win his first Academy Award.

In 1997, Elton John’s performance of “Candle in the Wind 1997” at Princess Diana’s funeral soon became the best-selling single of all time; later, it sold over 33 million copies internationally.

In the early 1990s, Elton John became one of the highest-paid music artists in the world, bringing in an estimated $13 million in 1993 and $20 million in 1994. While his earnings for the rest of the 90s and the first half of the 2000s are unknown, Elton returned to the list in 2005, earning approximately $44 million. His primary sources of income during this time were his Las Vegas Residency and his regular global tours.

John’s highest-earning year was 2011, during the peak of his Las Vegas Residency, when he earned $100 million. However, he’s also earned over $80 million annually in three separate years. Between 1993 and 2020, Elton John earned at least $676.5 million; however, many years from the 1990s and 2000s are missing from the calculations.

Real Estate

Elton John’s real estate portfolio is undoubtedly impressive. It will take some time to count all his estate possessions, but we’ll try.

Everything started as early as 1974, a year after the incredible success of the album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.’ Sir Elton John purchased his first house in Berkshire, England, for £400,000. Known as Woodside, the house has eight bedrooms, a library, stunning gardens, tennis courts, and even an 18th-century orangery.

In 1992, Elton John bought the Holland Park mansion in London. The place of residence is extremely popular among celebrities, including the Beckhams and Simon Cowell.

In 1990, the artist also bought a 1920s villa in Nice, France. Reports suggest it is worth more than £15 million. The house is incredibly luxurious, with a huge pool, beautiful gardens, and vast art and china collections.

1993 was the year when Elton John purchased his first property in the USA. John chose Atlanta, where he bought a condo on the 36th floor of a skyscraper.

The star also owns a one-bedroom apartment on the island of Giudecca in Venice, a two-bedroom house located along the Sussex coast, bought for £650,000 in 2010, a 5,000-square-foot Beverly Hills home purchased together with his husband, David Furnish, and a 5,343-square-foot Los Angeles mansion for $8.5 million.

Personal Life

During his life, Elton John was married twice. His first spouse was German recording engineer Renate Blauel. They married on February 14, 1984, and divorced on November 18, 1988.

In 1988, Elton John came out as gay, and in 1993, he started a long-lasting relationship with Canadian filmmaker David Furnish.

In 2005, the couple entered into a civil partnership. They were among the first UK couples to form a civil partnership since it came into force.

In 2014, when same-sex marriage became legal, Elton John and David Furnish got married. Their wedding ceremony took place on the couple’s ninth anniversary of their civil partnership, on December 21.

They have two children: Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish (born December 25, 2010) and John Elijah Joseph Daniel John (born January 11, 2013). Both brothers have the same surrogate mother, whose identity is still being kept a secret.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Elton John’s real name?

Reginald Kenneth Dwight is Sir John’s real name. During the mid-sixties, he used Reg Dwight as his stage name but didn’t really like it. While working with saxophonist Elton Dean in his Bluesology band, Elton decided to “borrow” Dean’s first name. Thus, in 1974, the artist officially changed his name to Elton Hercules John.

He picked “Hercules” as his middle name after a horse named Hercules from the well-liked British sitcom Steptoe and Son.

Which of Elton John’s songs won a Grammy?

Throughout his life, Elton John has won numerous awards. Among the songs that won Grammy Awards are “That’s What Friends Are For” in 1987, “Basque” in 1992, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” in 1995, and “Candle in the Wind 1997” in 1998.

What is Elton John’s best-selling album?

John’s best-selling studio album is ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.’ It has sold more than a mind-blowing 30 million. The album also belongs to the best-selling albums worldwide.

Summary

Elton John is one of the best-selling music artists and the most iconic musicians in the world. He has been recognized for his individuality and talent on several occasions. Having been in the music industry for over five decades, Elton John has made tremendous progress in his career and has made an incredible impact on the whole music world.

John showed an exceptional talent for integrating and fusing many pop and rock pieces into an exuberant, streamlined sound that was somewhat impersonal and extroverted. His songs were among the first to combine synthesized instrumentation with electric guitar and acoustic piano.

When we first started tracking Jason Kelce’s net worth in 2022, it was estimated at $37.5 million. Since then, Kelce has retired from the NFL, earning an additional $25.75 million for 2022 and 2023 combined.

He’s also signed a $100 million deal with the Amazon Wondery podcast service for “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.” That figure is split between the Kelce brothers over a three-year period, and although it was only signed in 2024, it will help Jason replace the income he previously earned from playing football.

As of 2025, Jason Kelce’s net worth is estimated to be roughly $60 Million.

Total Career Earnings:		$83,208,745

In 2011, Jason Kelce signed a 4-year rookie contract with the Philadelphia Eagles worth $2.1 million. Kelce earned just $472,432 for his first NFL season.

In 2014, Kelce signed a much more lucrative deal with the Eagles, worth $37.5 million over six years. He received a $6 million signing bonus, with the contract guaranteed for $13 million. With the help of his bonus, Kelce earned $7.4 million for the 2014 season. His 2015 earnings would amount to $3.2 million, and his earnings would increase by roughly $1 million/year until the end of the contract.

In 2019, Kelce signed a new 3-year contract worth $24.5 million with the Eagles. The deal was guaranteed $17.5 million, including a $7.6 million signing bonus. Kelce was supposed to earn $5.5 million for the last year of the contract. However, he negotiated a new one-year deal, increasing his value to $9 million.

His final NFL contract was a 1-year extension in 2023 worth $14.25 million.

After 13 seasons in the NFL, Jason Kelce earned $81.7 million.

Marriott Bonvoy Endorsement

In September 2024, shortly after retiring from the sport, Jason Kelce signed a lucrative deal with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, reportedly worth $2.4 million. The former is the company’s award-winning travel program, while the latter is the NFL’s Official Hotel Partner. As part of his endorsement deal with Marriott, Kelce would take on the role of ‘Fanbassador’, which essentially allowed Marriott Bonvoy members to join in on fan activities with Kelce.

There were 18 “Fanbassador Moments” featuring Jason, several of which include meet-and-greets at various events. Reports also suggest that Kelce received a $450,000 signing bonus from Marriott, possibly bringing the deal’s total value up to $2.85 million. Based on our research, it appears that this contract lasted for just a single NFL season.

Additional Endorsements

Jason Kelce has quite an impressive portfolio of brand commercial work. He’s appeared in dozens of commercials over the years, many of which also include his brother, Travis Kelce. This list of commercials includes work for BREWMITE, Buffalo Wild Wings, Lucky Charms, Kingsford, Campbell’s Chunky Soup, and YouTube TV. Looking at the list, you can probably tell that his interests in brand deals revolve heavily around food and beer. We should also note that Kelce is a co-owner of Garage Beer’s BREWMITE, and not just an endorser.

Amazon Wondery Podcast Deal

After 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce brought his experience, authentic personality, and storytelling expertise to the New Heights podcast. Then, in August 2024, he and his brother signed a three-year, $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery podcast service, granting the platform exclusive rights to distribute and monetize the show, including its back catalog. The deal also offers ad-free episodes on Wondery+ and ensures the podcast’s growing fanbase can access it across platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Since its launch in 2022, New Heights has struck a chord with listeners through its candid discussions about the NFL and life beyond the game, with Jason’s honest and approachable style playing a pivotal role in its success. His retirement earlier in the year allowed him to dedicate more time to the podcast, offering behind-the-scenes insights into his professional football career and helping cement its position as a top-ranked sports podcast.

For Kelce, this deal is about more than financial success, as it allows him to remain connected to the game while building a new chapter after football. His shift from player to podcaster showcases his versatility and determination, demonstrating that his impact on the world of sports reaches well beyond his playing career.

Real Estate

In January 2018, Jason Kelce paid $680,000 for a 3,860-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Haverford, Pennsylvania. A couple of years later, he also bought the property adjacent to him, which comprised 7.97 acres of land and a 3,754-square-foot, four-bedroom house. Kelce paid $3.96 million for this property. Finally, in September 2023, he acquired the property on the other side of his first home for $1.35 million. This is a 3,530-square-foot, five-bedroom home on 1.07 acres.

As a result, Kelce paid a total of $5.99 million for a little over 10 acres of land, joined together, and has plans to demolish all the existing homes and build a custom mansion. He recently received approval to build a new home on the property, much to his neighbors’ dismay. Still, reports indicate that it will be an additional home rather than a replacement for the existing properties.

Total Career Earnings:		$71,109,010

In 2019, Ja Morant signed a four-year, $39.6 million rookie contract with the Memphis Grizzlies. For his first season in the league, Morant earned $8.7 million, but by the end of the contract, he was earning $12.1 million per year.

Once the contract was up, Morant secured a lucrative five-year, $197.2 million extension with the team, which is currently the 22nd-highest-value active contract in the NBA. This deal commenced in the 2023/24 season, earning Ja approximately $34 million that year. Thus far, including this season, Morant has earned $110.2 million under the deal, bringing his career earnings to $149.8 million after just seven NBA seasons.

After the 2025/26 season concludes, Ja Morant will still have two years remaining on the contract, which are projected to earn him an additional $87 million, bringing his lifetime salary to $236.9 million by the end of the 2027/28 season.

Endorsement Deals

It really didn’t take long for Ja Morant to begin earning impressive stacks of cash off the court. His newfound stardom on the Grizzlies roster has secured him several lucrative partnerships with brands such as Beats by Dre, Bodyarmor, Hulu, Nike, Powerade, and PSD. The financial details behind these endorsements are incredibly speculative, but here are the most notable deals that the athlete has struck.

Nike Contract

Morant was signed by Nike right off the bat ahead of his rookie NBA season in 2019. New athletes typically earn low six-figure sums when first signing with Nike in their rookie years. However, by 2022, Ja Morant had already launched his first signature shoe with the company. The ‘JA’ basketball shoe is now on its third iteration and has been released in several colorways.

What’s interesting about this deal is that multiple sources are reporting Ja’s Nike income at $12 million per year. They also state that he began earning this figure in 2019, which is unheard of for a rookie. This $12 million number keeps popping up, but we were unable to verify the original source. Some outlets list the agreement as a multi-year deal worth $12 million overall, which is more likely.

Powerade Endorsement

Ja Morant became the face of Powerade in 2023, and the brand began putting together an ad campaign coined “What 50% More Means.” Powerade was preparing to pump $10 million into the campaign and radio and National television advertisements. Still, just days after the announcement, Morant hosted an Instagram Live video on his personal account, where he was seen pulling out a gun at a party.

As a result, Powerade pulled the campaign, but didn’t sever their partnership with the athlete. The NBA later fined Morant $75,000 for the incident, and he gave a public statement claiming that it was his Second Amendment right to bear arms.

In a similar scenario to his Nike contract, multiple reports suggest that the Powerade endorsement was either worth $10 million per year or $10 million overall. In either case, we were unable to verify these figures ourselves, but $10 million per year is highly unlikely for such a contract.

Real Estate

In August 2019, Ja Morant bought his parents an 8,987-square-foot, six-bedroom home in Eads, Tennessee, for $1.33 million. The property sits on 7.4 acres and features a home cinema room and games room. Based on recent estimates, the home’s current value is roughly $2.1 million.

According to reports and public records, in August 2022, Ja Morant paid $3.05 million for a 12,862-square-foot, seven-bedroom, eleven-bathroom mansion located close to his parents’ home in Eads. This property spans 6.45 acres and features amenities such as a home theater, games room, sauna, outdoor pool, and barbecue area. Recent estimates place the property’s current value at roughly $3.33 million, with annual property taxes of $29,000.

Expenditure

Ja recently paid $350,000 for a brand-new Aston Martin Vantage and also has a $1 million Rolls-Royce Dawn. He has a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, a Porsche Cayenne, and a Ferrari Roma locked away as well, so he’s not short of cars to choose from.

Summary

Ja Morant is a promising, extremely skilled basketball player who has made a strong impact on the professional scene early in his career.

Overall, Morant’s career so far can inspire and provide valuable lessons for any player looking to enter professional sports. After he was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in both 2018 and 2019 and then drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, he hasn’t put a foot wrong.

His fans are looking forward to watching him develop into a mature player who will continue to provide entertaining basketball throughout the remainder of his career.

Introduction

Nick Mercs is an American professional Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and former eSports competitor with an estimated net worth of $12 Million.

Quick Facts

Earned an estimated $55-$60 million between 2021 and 2025
Peak annual income of approximately $15 million in 2022
Signed a one-year, $10 million contract with Kick in 2023
Earns between $2.5 million and $3 million per year from brand deals
Sponsors include brands such as Beats by Dre, Under Armour, and UFC

Net Worth History

When we first began tracking Nick Mercs’ net worth in 2021, it was estimated to be roughly $4 million. However, at the time, the gamer had only just begun to blow up on YouTube, thanks to the perfectly timed release of Call of Duty: Warzone amid the 2020 lockdowns. Had these events not occurred, who’s to say what would have happened instead? Since we first published his profile, Nick has earned at least an additional $38 million, according to professional estimates and contracts.

These estimates relate to his gross earnings, not net profits, given that he has a team working with him. All things considered, the most recent estimates of his net worth sit at approximately $12 Million.

Earnings History

Since 2021, Nick Mercs has been featured on Forbes three times. That year, he earned an estimated $8 million, thanks to his rapid growth on YouTube during the 2020 lockdowns. By 2022, he was earning approximately $15 million per year from YouTube revenues, merchandising, sponsorships, and brand endorsement deals. The following year, Mercs signed a $10 million contract with the streaming platform Kick, and despite the initial pandemic-era traction slowing, the gamer has continued to adapt.

In 2025, Forbes ranked Nick Mercs 27th on its annual list of the world’s top creators, with estimated earnings of $13 million. However, we should note that the list isn’t ranked by annual income. They also use their own “entrepreneur rank” metric, along with engagement levels and follower counts, to rank the list.

This places Nick Mercs’ total earnings from all three years (2021, 2022, 2025) at an estimated $36 million. It’s pretty safe to assume he earned at least $10 million in 2023 and 2024, likely bringing his earnings over the last five years to between $55 million and $60 million.

Gaming Career

Kolcheff built his name as a Gears of War professional in 2000. He played Halo on a professional level. During this time, he has many conversations with Ninja due to trash-talking.

In 2010, he started to stream on Justin.TV. He rose to fame the following year when he created his own YouTube channel. In 2018, he teamed up with Nadeshot. His squad broke the world record for total kills in Fortnite with 54. Politics, TozSlays, MannyinCali, and JuicyMutt later broke it.

As already mentioned, he is known for his genius movements and aggressive playstyle. He has earned over $130,000 in Fortnite prizes. In 2019, he joined the FaZe Clan. Despite offers from streaming services, he would stay with Twitch. He earned around $6 million in 2019 and ranked 10th among the highest-earning gamers that year.

Mercs is known as the leader of MFAM in the gaming community. He often gives back to his community with different giveaways. Sometimes, he likes to put together the MFAM barbecue, a free event for the MFAM members and their loved ones.

In 2020, the release of Warzone, coupled with extended lockdowns, sparked a massive increase in the daily viewership of video game streams. Nick often teamed up with other gamers on his streams, such as Cloakzy, Courage JD, TimtheTatman, and Faze Swagg.

Kick Streaming Contract

In October 2023, Nick Mercs signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the streaming platform Kick. Interestingly, the contract was not exclusive, meaning Mercs was allowed to continue streaming on other platforms such as YouTube and Twitch. However, in that particular year, Kick would become his primary streaming platform. At the time, Kick was just one year old and was known as a disruptor and an often controversial alternative to traditional platforms. Nick completed the contract in full, but at the end of the term, he decided to return to Twitch, stating it was the best decision for his community.

Brand Endorsements

There’s one thing Nick Mercs has that not many other esports competitors and streamers have, and that’s previous experience and passion for sports. Mercs played football in high school, is an avid gym-goer, and often discusses his love for watching mixed martial arts and the UFC. In fact, some of the streamer’s earliest YouTube uploads are workout vlogs.

The reason we mention this is that Nick Mercs is almost a hybrid between fitness and gaming, something not many gaming streamers can relate to. As a result, he’s been able to sign lucrative endorsement deals that wouldn’t typically be offered to others in his niche. Common brand endorsements in the gaming niche include energy drinks like G-Fuel and PC hardware products.

Since blowing up on Twitch and YouTube, Mercs has signed agreements with brands such as Beats by Dre, Under Armour, and the UFC. Typically, these three brands focus on working with professional athletes, but Nick’s persona opened the door for such partnerships. In 2023, Forbes reported that Nick earned approximately $2.7 million from endorsement deals in 2022.
