How did the late Jimmy Buffett acquire his net worth and what exactly is he worth postmortem? He died in early September 2023 and left behind a catalog of music. Plus, he had Margaritaville locations all around the world. So, was that what made him his money, or is there more to the story? Read on for all of the details.
Jimmy Buffett: How Did He Acquire His Net Worth?
It was a major musical blow when Jimmy Buffett died at the age of seventy-six. This happened right before Labor Day 2023 and fans mourned the loss of the icon who made “Margaritaville” legendary. Of course, he had more than just that one smash hit. “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Come Monday” were also Jimmy classics while he also normalized it always being 5 o’clock somewhere. Sadly, he succumbed to aggressive skin cancer but he did leave behind a fortune that his wife, Jane is now responsible for.
According to Distractify, not only did Jimmy have his music but he had his restaurants, a cruise line, and hotels. So, he left behind a plethora of profitable ventures. This means that his 2023 net worth, prior to his passing, was around one billion dollars. This has further been validated by Celebrity Net Worth and it makes a lot of sense. Not only did he already have over thirty hotels standing, but more are in the process of being built. So, his legacy is continuing to expand even though he is no longer here.
Aside from those business ventures, Jimmy’s music cannot get lost in the shuffle. His catalog is worth 50 million dollars alone. He also had a lot of appearances in many different venues which has added to the alleged one billion. This is a lot of money that his wife, Jane, has to manage. She is actually his second wife, whom he married in 1977. Prior to that, he was briefly wed to Margie Washichek for two years but it seemed Jane was his ultimate soulmate.
Dividing The Money
The one thing about Jimmy Buffett and his wife, Jane is that they have three children who made them very proud. Daughter Savannah, 34, is a performer, as well with a show on SiriusXM. Then, their middle child, Sarah, 31, also is into entertainment. She had some fun with her dad by doing a YouTube show and it was centered around songs that were not necessarily hits or fan favorites. Finally, the couple adopted a son, Cameron who is twenty-nine. He is different from his sisters as he is private and low-key with his wife. The three will likely get portions of their dad’s hard-earned money.
Are you shocked by Jimmy’s insane net worth? More so, can you fathom that it will only grow over time? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
