Corey Todd Taylor was born on 8 December 1973, in Des Moines, Iowa USA of German and Native American (father) and Irish and Dutch (mother) ancestry.

Corey Taylor Net Worth $10 Million

So just how rich is Corey Taylor? Sources estimate that Corey’s net worth has currently reached the impressive amount of $10 million, virtually all of his wealth having come from his career in the entertainment industry.

Corey Taylor was introduced to classic rock at an early age, but over the years his music taste began leaning more towards heavy rock and metal styles. During his career, he has worked with numerous well-known bands and artists including Apocalyptica, Soulfly, Anthrax and Aaron Lewis. A very important quality that without doubt has contributed to Corey Taylor’s net worth and popularity is his impressive vocal range: he is known to have the second-highest vocal range (5 and a half octaves) among all popular music artists, the highest vocal range being Mike Patton’s. Corey has a baritone voice, which he uses to its full capability by not only singing, but also shouting, screaming and rapping. Because of his unique singing abilities, Corey Taylor has earned 86th place on the Hit Parader’s “Top 100 Vocalists of All-Time” list.

While by no means a famous actor, appearances on screens have contributed to Corey Taylor’s net worth. In 2013, he portrayed the character of Robert England in “Fear Clinic” and was also cast in the horror movie called “Bullied” that came out in the same year.

Until 1997, Corey Taylor performed and released numerous albums with Stone Sour, however, in that year he received an invitation from Joey Jordison, Shawn Crahan and Mick Thomson to join their band, Slipknot. After practicing with them, he began playing gigs with the band as the lead vocalist, and then joined permanently, leaving Stone Sour. The latter was a fairly successful band, but performing with Slipknot gained Corey most of popularity, fame and, with that, greatly raised his net worth. Slipknot is a unique band not only because of their music, but because of their signature horror-themed looks. Strangely, their impressively creepy costumes were inspired by the horror movie Halloween. Corey Taylor did not wear a mask in their very first performance, but after putting it on for his second show, it became a part of his stage personality. The same mask can be seen on his debut album cover. Their self-titled debut album gained Slipknot instant success and went double platinum in the United States, reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and became one of the albums included in the book entitled “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die”, released in 2006. The band’s main themes and style are not easily described, but they generally tend to express moods of depression, anger, hostility, rebellion, and to use explicit content and profanity which apparently appeals to their fan base.

In his private life, Corey Taylor was married to Scarlett Stone from 2004-07, and they have a son. Corey has been married to Stephanie Luby since 2009 . Corey has apparently overcome problems with depression, and alcohol and drug abuse.

Jamie Lee Curtis’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Jamie Lee Curtis Net Worth: Jamie Lee Curtis is an American actress, producer, and author who has a net worth of $60 million. She gained prominence during the late 70s with a performance in the horror movie “Halloween.” She then became famous for appearing in a wide range of horror films over the next few years. Outside of her roles within the horror genre, she is known for her performances in a range of comedic films. In addition to her film work, Jamie has appeared in many notable television series. She is also an accomplished author and a blogger for the Huffington Post. In 1998, Jamie Lee Curtis was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Early Life: Jamie Lee Curtis was born on November 22nd of 1958 in Santa Monica, California. Her father was the late actor Tony Curtis, and her mother was the late actress Janet Leigh. Raised alongside an older sister, Jamie’s parents divorced when she was four. After graduating from high school, Jamie Lee Curtis studied at the University of the Pacific. Although she studied law initially, she later dropped out to pursue a career as an actress. Career: Curtis’ first film role was in the 1978 horror film “Halloween.” This role became quite iconic, and “Halloween” became the highest-grossing independent film when it was released. This was the beginning of her career as a so-called “scream queen,” which is a name for actresses who are famous for roles in horror films. She followed up with leading roles in horrors such as “The Fog,” “Prom Night,” “Terror Train,” and many sequels and spin-offs to “Halloween.” Many of these films performed well at the box office. In 1983, Curtis successfully escaped the scream queen typecast with a performance in the comedy “Trading Places.” She earned a BAFTA Awards for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance. After proving her comedic talents, she followed up with a role in another 80s comedy called “A Fish Called Wanda,” which later became a cult classic. Curtis continued to branch out into different genres during the 90s, taking a role in the action-thriller “Blue Steel.” In 1994, Curtis received a Golden Globe award as a result of her role in the film “True Lies.” During the 90s, she also appeared in a number of other notable films, such as “My Girl,” “My Girl 2,” and “Freaky Friday,” the latter of which co-starred Lindsay Lohan. In 2004, Curtis appeared in the film “Christmas with the Kranks,” which also became a cult classic. This proved to be a turning point for Jamie Lee, as she announced in 2006 that she was taking an indefinite break from acting in order to focus on her family. However, this break only lasted for one year. In 2007, Curtis appeared in the live-action-animated film “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” alongside Piper Perabo. Three years later, she followed up with a role in the comedy “You Again” alongside Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver. Further voice acting roles followed with films like “The Little Engine That Could” and “From Up on Poppy Hill” before Curtis joined the cast of films like “Veronica Mars” and “Spare Parts.” A notable moment in Curtis’ career came in 2018 when she reprised her role as Laurie Strode in the reboot of “Halloween.” The film proved to be a massive box office success, raking in over $76 million on its debut, becoming the second-best opening weekend in October. When all was said and done, the film earned over $255 million at the box office. The film’s debut at the box office was also the highest-earning for any film with a lead actress over 55 years of age. In addition, 2018’s “Halloween” proved to be the most commercially successful film of the entire franchise. 2018 was a busy year for Jamie Lee, as she also starred in films such as “An Acceptable Loss” and “Knives Out,” the latter of which received widespread critical acclaim and raked in over $300 million at the box office. Outside of her film roles, Curtis has appeared in series such as “Quincy, M.E.,” “Columbo,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Anything But Love,” “The Drew Carey Show,” “NCIS,” “New Girl,” and the Fox comedy horror series “Scream Queens.” The latter performance earned Curtis a nomination for a Golden Globe. In 2020, it was announced that Curtis will reprise her iconic role once again in two more Halloween sequels: “Halloween Kills” and “Halloween Ends.” During this period, Curtis also joined the cast of the sci-fi film “Everything Everywhere At Once.” Relationships: In 1984, Jamie Lee Curtis married Christopher Guest, a well-known screenwriter, composer, musician, actor, director, and comedian. Curtis connected with Guest after watching “This Is Spinal Tap,” in which he starred. Over the next few years, Curtis and Guest adopted two children. Substance Abuse: Jame Lee Curtis has struggled with alcoholism over her life, and was once addicted to painkillers at one point. In 1999, she became inspired to pursue a sober lifestyle and successfully recovered from her substance abuse issues. Real Estate: In 2016, it was reported that Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest purchased a home in Santa Monica for $2.2 million. The property is adjacent to their current home, and the assumption is that they will expand into this new lot to create a bigger home. The land itself already features a home with 1,900 square feet of living space and a swimming pool. The Santa Monica property that they already own has been in their possession for more than two decades.
