Richard Marx Net Worth: Richard Marx is an American singer, songwriter and producer who has a net worth of $25 million. Marx has sold more than 30 million albums during his career which started with his self-titled debut album that hit #8 on Billboard and spawned four Top 5 singles.
Richard Marx was born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois. Early in his career Marx landed jobs as a background singer for artists such as Madonna, Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross. Marx continued to pursue his own record deal but was rejected by every label in Hollywood until, finally, the president of EMI/Manhattan Records, Bruce Lundvall, heard Marx’s demo and knew he had a star on his hands. He gave Marx a recording contract and the freedom to write and record whatever he wanted. Marx contacted his good friend Fee Waybill, front man of The Tubes, and some very talented musicians, including Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner of the Eagles, and created a ten-track album that led to his very successful career.
Hus debut album included the chart-topping singles “Hold on to the Nights” and “Don’t Mean Nothing”, the latter earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance-Male. His 1989 follow-up “Repeat Offender”, was even more successful, hitting #1 and going quadruple-platinum with two #1 singles; “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting”.
After his albums “Rush Street” (1991) and “Paid Vacation” (1994) went platinum, Marx achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To mark the release of Rush Street he embarked on a 24-hour, five-city blitz on MGM Grand Airlines, performing at every stop, a record that has yet to be broken. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. Across all formats, Marx has scored an astounding total of 14 No. 1 singles, both as a performer and songwriter/producer, making him a true multi-talented threat who continues to challenge himself and his fans. His 2010 album, “Stories to Tell”, produced a Top 20 AC hit in “When You Loved Me”.
Personal Life: Richard was married to actress/singer Cynthia Rhodes from 1989 to 2014. She appeared in Richard’s first music video for the song “Don’t Mean Nothing”. They have three sons together. They divorced in 2014 after 25 years of marriage.
In 2015 Richard married television personality and entrepreneur Daisy Fuentes.
