Paul Anka Net Worth: Paul Anka is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor who has a net worth of $80 million. Known for singing and writing some of the best-known hits in musical history, Paul Anka has carved out an impressive name for himself in the music industry. Early Life: Paul Albert Anka was born on July 30th of 1941 in Ottawa, Canada. Paul Anka was raised in a Lebanese Christian family, and his father owned a restaurant. His mother died when she was just 18 years old. Some of Paul Anka’s earliest experiences with music were through his church. He sang in the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral choir and studied musical theory through this religious establishment. Outside of his church, he learned how to play the piano. During his time at high school, Paul Anka joined a musical trio called the Bobby Soxers. Career: Even before Anka’s 15th birthday, he was releasing singles. At the age of 14, he traveled to New York City to record his first single, “I Confess.” After auditioning for Don Costa, Anka released “I Confess.” The single would reach the number one spot on the Canadian and US music charts. To this day, “Diana” is one of the best performing singles ever released by a Canadian artist. The success of “Diana” instantly propelled Paul Anka to fame, and he followed up with four singles that all reached the top 20 during 1958. These included “It’s Time To Cry,” and “My Heart Sings.” Paul Anka’s status as a “teen idol” was cemented when he toured the world with Buddy Holly. He then wrote “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” for Holly which would turn out to be the last track he recorded before his passing in 1959. During the next few years, Paul Anka established himself as a songwriter and composer. He collaborated on the theme song for the Johnny Carson Show in 1962 before composing “She’s a Lady” for Tom Jones. He also composed one of Frank Sinatra’s most celebrated tracks, “My Way.” Paul Anka also established a foothold in the film industry during this time, and he wrote theme songs for the same movies he acted in. A notable example was the 1962 war film The Longest Day, for which Anka composed the theme and contributed two of his most well-known hits, “Lonely Boy” and “My Home Town.” He also made a cameo in the film as a US Army Ranger. Paul Anka was also known for his live performances during this period, and he was one of the first well-known musicians to appear in Las Vegas clubs and casinos. Despite signing with RCA Records in 1960, Anka’s career stalled for the next tens years as he failed to create a hit that reached the top of the charts. Paul Anka experienced greater success in the 70s, largely because of his decision to switch to United Artists. “Having My Baby” reached the top of the charts once again, and the track was a collaboration with Odia Coates. Capitalizing on this achievement, Coates and Anka continued to release duets over the next few years, including “I Don’t Like To Sleep Alone” and “There’s Nothing Stronger Than Our Love.” During the next stage of Anka’s career, he continued to hire out his considerable songwriting talents to a number of suitors. This included the camera company Kodak, for which Anka recorded an incredibly successful jingle that eventually became a full-length track. He also wrote another hit for Frank Sinatra called “Anytime.” Anka’s last big hit was in 1983 with “Hold Me ‘Til The Morning Comes,” although he did experience something of a resurgence starting in the 90s. Personal Life: Anka married Anne de Zogheb in 1963 in a ceremony at Paris-Orly Airport. They had five daughters: Amelia, Anthea, Alicia, Amanda (who is now married to actor Jason Bateman) and Alexandra. Anka later married his personal trainer, Anna Aberg, in 2008 and they had a son named Ethan.

John Oates Net Worth: John Oates is an American rock, R&B and soul guitarist, musician, songwriter and producer who has a net worth of $60 million. John Oates is most widely recognized as a member of the music duo, Hall and Oates, with Daryl Hall. With Hall and Oates, he has sold 40 million records internationally, and had ten number one hits, most of which he co-wrote. He released solo albums in 2002 and 2008. He was born John William Oates on April 7, 1949, in New York City. It was back in 1966 that he recorded his first single, “I Need Your Love,” together with The Masters for Philadelphia-based Crimson Records, but he rose to fame once he teamed up with Hall. They met in 1967, but signed their first recording contract in early 1972. In addition to his role as a guitarist in the duo, Oates also co-wrote many of the singles they recorded, including (with Hall): “Sara Smile”, “She’s Gone”, and “Out of Touch”, as well as (with Allen & Hall): “You Make My Dreams”, “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)”, “Maneater”, and “Adult Education”. John went on to sing lead vocals on several singles that did not rank as Top 10, like “How Does It Feel to Be Back”, “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” (a remake of The Righteous Brothers’ song), on which Oates and Hall shared vocals, and “Possession Obsession” (with Allen & Hall). While a top 10 hit that he co-wrote and sang backup is the song “Electric Blue”, which was recorded by the band Icehouse. John Oates was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004. Real Estate: John and his wife Aimee first bought land in Woody Creek, Colorado in 1994 for $660 thousand. They soon discovered that the writer Hunter S. Thompson was living in across the street and was even keeping his famous Red Shark Cadillac convertible in a garage on the Oates property. They became good friends. In 1997 they build a 5,000 square foot log cabin on the 4.3-acre property. John and Aimee listed the home for sale in 2017 for $6 million after deciding to spend more time at a home they own in Nashville. They lowered the price to $4.6 million but ultimately did not find a buyer and still own the property as of this writing. In 2016 John paid $2.21 million for a home in Nashville that was at one time owned by Taylor Swift. The 1920s Tudor home is located in an historic and exclusive neighborhood called Whitland. Taylor Swift bought the property in 2010 for $1.4 million as a home for her parents but ultimately sold it for a slight loss.
