Adam Levine net worth and salary: Adam Levine is a singer, songwriter and television host who has a net worth of $120 million. Adam Levine is most famous for being the lead singer of the band Maroon 5 and as one of the celebrity hosts of NBC’s reality TV series The Voice. Adam earns $8 million per season for hosting The Voice alongside hosts who have included Blake Shelton, Usher, Shakira and Christina Aguilera. Early Life: Adam Noah Levine was born in Los Angeles, California on March 18th 1979. His parents, Fredric and Patsy Levine, divorced when Adam was seven. He has described his family as very musical and attributed growing up listening to his mother’s idols, Simon & Garfunkle, Fleetwood Mac, and the Beatles, to shaping his unique musical style. Levine went to Brentwood School where he met his future Maroon 5 band members, Jesse Carmichael and Mickey Madden. Early Music Career: Levine, Carmichael, Madden, and their friend Ryan Dusick formed a band called Kara’s Flowers in February 1994. They played their first gig at Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood in ’95, with Levine on vocals and guitar. The band was discovered by producer Tommy Allen at a Malibu beach party where they were performing. Allen and his partner had Kara’s Flowers record an 11-track album and they were subsequently signed to reprise records through producer Rob Cavallo. The band released their first album, The Fourth World, in August 1997. That same year, the band also made a guest appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210. After the guys graduated high school, they toured in support of their album, but to little success. After the album only sold about 5,000 copies, Reprise decided to drop the band and Kara’s Flowers soon broke up. Maroon 5: After the band broke up, Levine and Carmichael moved to New York to study at Five Towns College. Eventually, Kara’s Flowers decided to get back together with a makeover, adding a fifth member, swapping one out, and renaming themselves Maroon 5. Levine was a writer’s assistant on the CBS television show Judging Amy before he hit it big in the music industry. During his time on Judging Amy, Adam wrote several poems and songs about an ex-girlfriend named Jane. These notes would eventually turn into Maroon 5’s first smash hit album, 2002’s “Songs About Jane” which was certified triple platinum after its release. The album was a sleeper hit, selling 10 million copies and becoming the tenth best-selling album of 2004–two years after its initial release. Maroon 5 won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2005, and the next year they won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group for the album’s second single, the insanely popular hit “This Love”. Since releasing their debut album, Maroon 5 has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, including 10 million in the United States alone. The group has also sold over 30 million digital singles. Maroon 5’s albums It Won’t Be Soon Before Long in 2007 and V in 2014 both reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band’s popular singles include “Harder to Breathe”, “This Love”, “She Will Be Loved”, “Sunday Morning”, “Makes Me Wonder”, “Moves Like Jagger” (featuring Christina Aguilera), “Payphone” (featuring Wiz Khalifa), “One More Night”, “Maps”, “Animals”, “Sugar”, “Don’t Wanna Know” (featuring Kendrick Lamar), and more. Maroon 5 continues to record and tour extensively. They have released six studio albums, three live albums, 30 singles, and 23 music videos. Levine has won multiple Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards. In addition to his work with Maroon 5, Adam Levine has appeared as a guest singer on dozens of singles alongside many popular artists. Television Career: Adam has appeared on SNL several times.

That same year, he was cast in musical-romance drama film Begin Again, co-starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. Since 2011, Levine has served as a contestant judge and coach on the popular reality television talent show The Voice. Levine’s popularity and reach has increased tremendously after joining the show. He has been described as the break out star of the series. In 2013, it was estimated by The Hollywood Reporter that Levine was being paid $12 million for each season of The Voice. Levine left The Voice in May 2019, after sixteen seasons and eight years. The film and his role received generally favorable reviews. Other Ventures: Levin and Josh Gummersall started their own production company, 222 productions, in 2018. Their first project was Sugar, a YouTube web TV series inspired by the music video for the Maroon 5 song of the same title. 222 Productions also produced a reality competition series, Songland, for NBC in May 2019. Levine serves as the executive producer. Levine founded his own record label, 222 Records, in February 2012. Levine has also collaborated with various clothing companies to launch menswear lines.

Adam and Behati spent $7 million remodeling the house over a year and then listed it for sale in April 2019 for $47.5 million. If they get their asking price, they’ll make a $5 million profit in a year. Adam sold two other mansions in Beverly Hills in 2018, including one to John Mayer for $13.5 million. In 2017 he bought a house in Holmby Hills for $17 million, gutted it and prepared renovations. For some reason he lost interest and ended up selling it mid-construction for $18 million. He still owns another large property in Beverly Hills that he bought in 2012 for $5 million. Earlier in 2019 Adam and Behati spent $32 million to acquire Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s former house in the Pacific Palisades. Ben and Jen paid $17.55 million for the house in 2009. That means for much of 2019, Adam owned at least $80 million worth of Los Angeles real estate alone.

The Edge Net Worth: The Edge is a British-born, Irish musician who has a net worth of $400 million. His real name is David Evans, and he’s probably best known for being the lead guitarist and keyboardist of the band U2. Evans is a founding member of the group and has also released a solo album. Like the rest of the members of U2, The Edge is known for his dedication to human rights and various other movements. Evans is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and his musical style has been described as “understated.” Early Life: David Howell Evans was born on August 8th of 1961 in Essex, England. David was raised as a Protestant by Welsh parents alongside one sibling (an older brother who was once a member of U2). When David was just a one-year-old, his family relocated to Dublin, Ireland after his father was hired for a new job. David received music lessons early in his life, and by the age of seven, he received his first guitar as a gift. He also trained as a pianist. Career: During his secondary school years, Evans and his brother joined a band alongside Paul “Bono” Hewson, Larry Mullen Jr., and Adam Clayton. In 1978, the band gained the name “U2.” During this period, Evans also gained a name of his own: “The Edge.” Not much is known about why he was given this name, but some theories point to the angular shape of his head. Although U2 first started performing in the late 70s, it wasn’t until the 80s that they started touring extensively. They also released their debut album, “Boy,” in 1980. During the early 80s, Evans wrote the song “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” U2 went on to become one of the most famous and commercially successful bands in the world, releasing multiple critically-acclaimed albums and chart-topping hits over the decades. Outside of his work with U2, David Evans is known for collaborating with a range of other artists. These include Johnny Cash, Tina Turner, Jay-Z, and Rihanna. Both he and Bono wrote the theme song for the James Bond film “GoldenEye.” Relationships: Evans married his high school sweetheart, Aislinn O’Sullivan, in 1983. They had three children together before separating in 1990. In 1993, The Edge started dating Morleigh Steinberg, a professional dancer who had previously appeared on stage alongside U2. They were married in 2002, and the couple has had two children together. Real Estate: One of Evans’ most famous real estate deals involved a plan to build a $100 million family home in Malibu. The entire process started rather normally – Evans and his family purchased a 151-acre plot in the Sweetwater Mesa area for $9 million in 2005. The issues arose when the guitarist started planning out how he would develop the raw land. It was quickly revealed that The Edge wished to create a sprawling, 5-mansion compound all across the 151 acres of untouched Californian mountains. As soon as he started to take these plans public, legal issues started to arise. Various environmentalist groups accused Evans of planning to “pave over paradise.” There were notable concerns about public beach access and the destruction of the existing natural splendor in the area. Evans did not back down and instead invested heavily in legal action. His goal was to prove that his development plans would have a minimal impact on the environment. First, he tried to convince the government of California and concerned residents that his mansions would be very inconspicuous and that they would seamlessly blend into the mountainside. The Edge then spent $400,000 on geological studies in an effort to prove the development would not cause landslides, as many residents feared might be the case. Next, he set aside acres of land and pledged $1 million for the construction of a public hiking trail through his property. Evans’ entire legal team consisted of consultants, lobbyists, and design specialists. However, his efforts fell on deaf ears, as his plans were deemed more environmentally devastating than any previous Malibu developments in the past 40 years. One major concern was the widespread growth of purple needle grass across his 151 acres, which is an environmentally-protected plant species. Years went by, and at one point The Edge managed to win the approval of all 12 commissioners after dramatically scaling back his development plans. Unfortunately for Evans, his hopes were once again dashed when the Santa Monica Mountains Tasks Force, a chapter of the Sierra Club, stepped in and filed a lawsuit against Evans. As a result of the appeals and court decisions that followed, The Edge’s plans were once again denied. As it turned out, the organization that Evans had been trying to gain approval from (the Coastal Commission) didn’t actually have the authority to grant permission for his developments. This meant that The Edge had spent millions of dollars trying to get permission from the wrong people. This brings us to 2019 – a year when Evans started to consider whether to give up on his dreams or go through this entire legal process once again – this time with the Los Angeles County of Regional Planning. Even if he does succeed in the years to come, the Sierra Club is likely to sue him once more. As of 2020, Evans has spent over $10 million on legal and lobbying fees. According to the plans for his dream home, the project will cost him at least $80 million. $24 million is needed to create the access road alone.
