Quincy Jones has an estimated net worth of $500 million. This is from his career as a record producer, actor, television producer and musical arranger.
In December 1986, Quincy paid $3 million for a home in Bel Air. That’s the same as around $7 million today. He sold his property in 2005 for $5.4 million after completing construction on a 25,000-square-foot compound, also in Bel Air. The house is easily worth north of $25-30 million.
In 1971, Jones became the African American to be the musical director and coordinator for the Academy Awards. In 1995, he was the first African American to receive the academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He is tied with sound designer, Willie D. Burton as the second most Oscar-nominated African American, with seven nominations each.
Jones was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as the winner, alongside Lou Adler, of the Ahmet Ertegun Award. He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time.
