Frankie Valli Wiki Biography

Francesco Stephen Castelluccio was born on 3 May 1934, in Newark, New Jersey USA. Frankie Valli is a famous singer, best known for being a member of the band called “The Four Seasons”, which released such hits as “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Sherry”, “Rag Doll”, “Walk Like a Man” and many others.

So how rich is Frankie Valli? It is reliably estimated that Frankie’s net worth is $60 million, the main source of his wealth being, of course, Frankie’s successful career as a musician and his activities with “The Four Seasons”. In addition to his career as a singer, Frankie has also appeared in several shows and these appearances also added to Frankie’s net worth.

Frankie Valli Net Worth $60 Million

Frankie Valli was born into a family of Italian immigrants. He was inspired to become a musician when he saw Frank Sinatra performing when he was only seven years old. He soon started learning with the singer Jean Valli, but to earn a living he also followed his father and worked as a barber. In 1951 Frankie began performing with Tommy DeVito, Nickie DeVito and Nick Macioci called the “Variety Trio”. This was the time when Frankie Valli’s net worth began growing. In 1953 Frankie released his first single, entitled “My Mother’s Eyes”.

In 1960 “The Four Seasons” was formed, with other members of the group being Tommy DeVito, Bob Gaudio and Nick Massi, and over the years this had a huge influence on the growth of Frankie Valli’s net worth. Valli became the lead singer of the band and gained a lot of popularity and acclaim. In 1967 Frankie’s first solo album was released, which soon became very successful and added a lot to his net worth. In 1975 Frankie released the single called “My Eyes Adored You”, which reached the number one on the Billboard Hot 100, so gaining more and more fans as well as respect from other musicians. During many years of performing, Valli has released a lot of albums together with “The Four Seasons” and also his solo albums. All of which contributed significantly to Frankie’s net worth.

What is more, Frankie Valli has appeared in such TV shows as “The Sopranos”, “Full House”, “Hawaii Five-0” and in the movie, “And So It Goes”. Let’s hope that soon he will create something new for his fans and they will be able to enjoy it.

While talking about Frankie Valli’s personal life, he has been married three times, to Mary Mandel (1958-71) with whom he has two daughters; then to MaryAnn Hannagan (1974-82), and thirdly to Randy Clohessy (1984-2004) with whom he has three sons.

Frankie Valli has long been a supporter of heritage-related causes, plus in 2012, Valli received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his commitment to many humanitarian causes.

Finally, Frankie Valli has been in the industry for a very long time. Although Frankie is 80 years old, he still continues performing and is still very popular in the music industry all over the world.

Quote
1 I do belong to Jersey. There’s no doubt about that in my mind. They have been so loyal and so good to me, how could I possibly belong any place else?
2 We were looking for something new. It was very important to establish a sound, so that people heard a record on the radio and knew immediately that it was you.
Fact
1 Grew up in Newark, New Jersey.
2 Was a barber before turning to music.
3 Had three daughters and three sons. Sadly, two of his daughters died less than a year apart. His stepdaughter Celia was killed in a car accident in 1980. Six months later, his daughter Francine died of a drug overdose.
4 Was a member of The Four Lovers, who had a minor hit in 1956 with “You’re The Apple of My Eye” (RCA Records). After the group broke up, Valli and fellow group member Tommy DeVito joined a group that eventually became The Four Seasons.
5 He was inducted into the 2010 New Jersey Hall of Fame for his services and contributions to Arts and Entertainment.
6 In 1965, due to contractual considerations with Vall singing at an even higher pitch, The Four Seasons released two singles as “The Wonder Who”: “Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right” (#12 US Pop) and “(Look Down) That Lonesome Road” (#89 US Pop).
7 On July 4, 1987, Valli and The Four Seasons appeared live on an HBO TV special as part of an all-day benefit for Vietnam veterans titled “Welcome Home”.They performed several of their hits, including “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, the signature song from The Deer Hunter (1978).
8 His son, Francesco Valli, also made a small appearance in the same Full House (1987) episode, Full House: D.J.’s Choice (1995), in which his father appeared.
9 Valli is father of three daughters, Antonia, Francine, and Celia, a son, Francesco, and twins, Emilio and Brando.
10 When The Four Seasons finally made it, their age was something of an embarrassment. They were a good ten years older than The Beach Boys. The record companies thought no teenagers would listen to a band in their thirties. Valli was 28 when “Sherry” became a hit, and the record company thought it would be better if he were considered 25, so his age was changed. But his real age and birth date (1934) were on the back of an album Valli made as part of The Four Lovers, a group he was in before The Four Seasons. Then, when The Four Seasons were arrested in Columbus, Ohio, for not paying for the hotel rooms the prior year, Valli’s mug shot became public, and based on his driver’s license and police record, it became obvious that he was born in 1934.
11 The Broadway musical, “Jersey Boys”, about the beginnings of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons were awarded 4 Tony Awards in 2006 including Best Original Musical, Best Actor (John Lloyd Young), Best Actor in a Featured Role (Christian Hoff), and Best Lighting Design in a Musical.
12 Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of The Four Seasons) in 1990.
