Have you ever wondered how rich Dolores O’Riordan ws, as of 2018? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Dolores` net worth was as high as $15 million, earned through her successful career as a musician. In addition to being the lead singer of The Cranberries, she also released several solo albums, and was  the lead vocalist of the band D.A.R.K. too, which also improved her wealth.

Dolores O’Riordan Net Worth $15 Million

Dolores was a daughter of Terence and Eileen O’Riordan, and  grew up in the Ballybricken area of County Limerick with six older siblings. She was educated at Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ, located in Limerick.

Dolores joined the band Cranberries Saw Us in 1990, and the same year they released an EP entitled “Nothing Left at All”. After that, they shortened their name to The Cranberries, and signed with Island Records. In 1993 their first full length studio album came out; entitled “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can`t We”, it topped the Irish and UK charts, while it achieved multiple platinum status in the USA and UK, and platinum in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. This certainly increased Dolores’ net worth, but also encouraged her and the rest of the band to continue to produce music.

The Cranberries and Dolores continued to be prominent on the music scene, as their next album “No Need to Argue”, released in 1994, topped the charts in several countries, including in the US where it reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart. Also, it achieved multi-platinum status in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, which only improved her net worth. Their third album “To the Faithfully Departed” (1996), is also one of their most successful, as it topped the charts in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and achieved platinum status in several countries, potentially adding a considerable amount to Dolores` net worth.

Before their hiatus in 2003, the band released two more albums, “Bury the Hatchet” (1999), which was far less popular than its predecessors, and “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee” (2001), which continued the decline of the band`s popularity.

After the break up, Dolores ventured into a solo career, and released two albums; her first came out in 2007 under the title “Are You Listening?”, reaching No. 77 on the Billboard 200 chart, while in the UK it peaked at No. 28. Her second album – “No Baggage” – came out in 2009, but wasn’t a major success. During the inactivity of The Cranberries, Dolores also collaborated with several artists, including Zuchero, Angelo Badalamenti and Giuliano Sangiorgi, among others.

In 2009, The Cranberries reunited for a world tour, and they released their sixth album “Roses” in early 2016, and then most recently”Something Else” in 2017, greeted with approval by critics and fans.

Additionally, Dolores became one third of the band eventually named “D.A.R.K” in 2014, also comprising of Andy Rourke, former bass player of the popular band The Smiths, and Olé Koretsky. They  released the album , “Science Agrees” (2016), which also improved her wealth.

Regarding her personal life, Dolores was married to Don Burton from 1994 until 2014; the couple had three children. Despite divorce, she was apparently a devout Roman Catholic, and was a great admirer of the late Pope John Paul II, who she met twice, and performed at the Vatican’s Christmas concert in 2013 at the invitation of Pope Francis.

Dolores passed away on 15 January 2028, while in London for a recording session. Her cause of death was not immediately evident, although she was known to have suffered from bipolar disorder for a number of years.

Quote
1 You get older and come to the conclusion that it’s a great gig making music. Even if you turn into an old gnarly fart, no one cares what you look like if you write good songs. The only gig is to sing well and perform.
2 It’s fun and games for a while, but then you’re burned out and it’s ‘Can we turn it off?’ But you can’t and when you want to go back to normalcy, that’s impossible. In 1997 we took time off and that’s when Oasis broke and Princess Diana died and I was home with my baby, hating the music industry. People asked me what I thought about the Spice Girls and I was so happy to tell them I couldn’t be bothered to care.
3 (on Adele) She’s a voice and she’s classic. Like the fact that she doesn’t peel them off, ’cause all the other broads are like ‘here’s me bum’ and whatever. I find it kind of aggravating ’cause I always think ‘Just ’cause we’re women, why do have to have our boobs and butt hanging out?’
4 You don’t always have to have long blonde hair and big huge knockers to be nice!

Kimora Lee Simmons’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Kimora Lee Simmons Net Worth: Kimora Lee Simmons is an American model, author and fashion entrepreneur who has a net worth of $200 million. She first became known for being married to Hip Hop entrepreneur Russell Simmons. They divorced in 2009. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Kimora Lee Simmons Leissner (née Perkins), known professionally as Kimora Lee Simmons, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 4, 1975. She is of African American, Korean and Japanese heritage. After being teased for her height (she was almost 6 feet tall by age ten) her mother enrolled her in a modeling class when she was eleven years old. She signed a modeling contract with Chanel, and was mentored by iconic Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld was inspired by Kimora, calling her the “Face of the 21st Century,” calling for more racial inclusion in fashion. She would go on to model for international high-fashion brands like Fendi, Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Kenzo, Anna Sui and Yves Saint Laurent. Business and Entrepreneurship: In 1998, Kimora’s husband at the time, Russell Simmons, was the head of urban menswear brand Phat Farm. He created a women’s brand, named Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, which was held under the umbrella of Phat Fashions. Kimora became Baby Phat’s designer, creating clothes based on what she would want to wear. She was then appointed as President and Creative Director of the brand in 2000. In 2001, Baby Phat had gross revenue earnings of $30 million, and by 2002 the brands of Phat Farm and Baby Phat had combined profits of $265 million. The Kellwood Company acquired Phat Fashions in 2004 for $140 million, but Kimora stayed on as President and Creative Director. Under her leadership, she expanded the brand into a wide array of products, including denim, accessories, jewelry, swimwear and fragrance lines. She was named President of Phat Fashions in 2006, and ultimately left the company in 2010. However, even after leaving the company, she retained ownership of all of the licensing rights for her fragrance and cosmetics collections. The perfumes include “Baby Phat Goddess” (2005), “Golden Goddess,” “Seductive Goddess,” “Baby Phat Fabulosity,” “Luv Me” and “Baby Phat Dare Me.” They were sold in department stores across America like Sears and Macy’s. She announced in 2019 that she had re-acquired Baby Phat. Other ventures by Kimora include the Simmons Jewelry Company, which marketed jewelry items under the Phat Farm and Baby Phat labels. She also partnered with Sanrio Ltd. In 2006 to launch the “Kimora Lee Simmons for Hello Kitty” line, sold in Neiman Marcus. Another Hello Kitty collection was released with Zales Corporation in 2008. In 2006 she also partnered with Sephora and Macy’s to launch her own cosmetics brand, KLS Cosmetics. She continued her relationship with Macy’s launching her KLS fashion collection with the department store in 2010, and the Kouture by Kimora brand that was exclusive to Macy’s. In 2011, Kimora partnered with Swiss skincare company Makari deSuisse to launch an anti-aging skincare line target towards multi-ethnic women. She entered the luxury market with the launch of her KIMORA LEE SIMMONS high fashion collection, distributed through Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor and Farfetch. In 2012, Kimora took the position of President and Creative Director for the personalized shopping website JustFab. She ran the company until 2015. Under her direction, JustFab grew into a prominent player in the realm of fashion subscription services. Television Career and Other Projects: Kimora’s first television hosting role was “One World Music Beat” in 1998. She then went on to host the syndicated talk show “Life and Style” in 2004, produced by Sony Pictures Television. Other television projects Kimora has pursued include her E! show “Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane,” which premiered in 2007 and aired for 7 seasons; “Kimora: House of Fab,” which debuted in 2013 on the Style Network; and she was a judge on the first season of Tyra Banks’ reality competition show “America’s Next Top Model.” Other projects she has worked on include her 2006 book “Fabulosity: What It Is and How to Get It” and music video appearances for artists like Ginuwine, Usher and Jay-Z. Additionally, she produced the show “Def Poetry Jam” in Broadway, which won her a Tony Award for a Special Theatrical Event in 2003. Personal Life: Kimora married Russell Simmons in December 1998. Together, they have two daughters, Ming Lee Simmons (born 2000) and Aoki Lee Simmons (born 2002). They separated in 2006, and finalized their divorce in 2009. In the summer of 2008, she began a relationship with actor Dijmon Hounsou, and gave birth to their son Kenzo Lee Hounsou in 2009, before the couple split in 2012. Kimora married Tim Leissner in February 2014, and gave birth to their son Wolfe Lee Leissner in 2015. Leissner was a partner at Goldman Sachs for many years. He resigned from Goldman in the wake of the infamous 1MDB Malaysia corruption scam which cost the bank over $1 billion in fines and other costs. In 2018 Leissner pleaded guilty to money laundering charges and agreed to forget $43.7 million in income. Leissner allegedly helped scam artist Jho Low bilk Malaysia out of $4.5 billion between 2009 and 2014. Along the way Leissner and a partner earned $200 million in fees from the scheme. Real Estate: In 2006, soon after separating from Simmons, Kimora paid $8.5 million for a 13,000 square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills. Years later, after buying a new much larger Beverly Hills mansion, Kimora rented this property out for as much as $55,000 per month. In 2014, soon after marrying, Kimora and Tim paid $19 million for a New York City apartment. In 2017 they paid $25 million for a 20,000 square-foot home in Beverly Hills set on nearly 4-acres.

Bernie Kosar’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Bernie Kosar Net Worth: Bernie Kosar is an American former football quarterback who has a net worth of $100 thousand dollars. Bernie Kosar was born November 25, 1963 in Youngstown, Ohio. Kosar played for the Cleveland Browns from 1985 to 1993 and finished his career with the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Kosar played college football at the University of Miami then, after much controversy throughout the drafting process, signed on with the Cleveland Browns in 1985. Times with the Cleveland Browns were not exactly shiny and full of accolades. Kosar’s later years with Cleveland were dampened by injuries and dwindling support around the unlikely quarterback. To quite literally add insult to injury, in 1991 the Browns hired Bill Belichick as head coach. Not a big fan of Kosar, Belichick had signed quarterback Vinny Testaverde (Kosar’s former college teammate) before the 1993 season. Early in the year, Belichick benched Kosar in favor of Testaverde. An injury to Testaverde returned Kosar to the field. From the Cleveland Browns, Kosar moved on to fill in for an injured Troy Aikman for the Dallas Cowboys and earned his only championship ring as a backup in the Super Bowl XXVIII. Kosar finished out his career with the Miami Dolphins as a backup quarterback to Dan Marino and is perhaps best remembered for a trick play that helped the Dolphins top the Jets in a crucial game late in 1994. With the clock winding down and the Dolphins trailing by three, Marino pretended to spike the ball to stop the clock. He then threw the winning touchdown pass to Mark Ingram. Kosar finished his 12-season career with 1,994 completions in 3,365 attempts for 23,301 yards and 124 touchdowns, with 87 interceptions. He also rushed for 265 yards and five touchdowns. Bernie Kosar held the NFL record for most consecutive completed passes without an interception, until December 26, 2010, when New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady broke his record. After retirement from football, Kosar moved on to other business ventures, such as opening a restaurant, becoming part-owner of the Florida Panthers (NHL), publishing a magazine and various philanthropic efforts.
