Jordan Knight Wiki Biography
- Jordan Nathaniel Marcel Knight was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, on 17 May 1970.
- The world knows him best as the lead singer of the “New Kids on the Block” boy band; however, Knight’s solo career has affected his fame and net worth after the dissolution of the band.
- Since 1984, he has been an active member of the music industry.
- It is estimated, according to reports, that Jordan Knight’s total net worth is $14 million.
- The gold and platinum-selling records of the band New Kids on the Block are definitely the main sources of his net worth, but his solo albums have boosted his overall wealth.
- In addition, he has also appeared in several TV shows, including a guest appearance by Penn Jillette in the game show “Identity.”
- Knight has been exposing his talents ever since he was a kid.
- He was part of the church choir when he was seven years old; he extended his talents to dance later in school.
- When he was 14 years old, his professional career started when his friend Donnie Wahlberg asked him to join a boy band whose manager and producer was Maurice Starr.
- Knight joined the band, and he called Jonathan Knight, his brother, to join him as well.
- Along with two other members, Danny Wood and Joey McIntyre, the trio formed New Kids on the Block.
- Their first release came in 1986, but the audience did not welcome it as well, as the singles “Be My Girl” and “Stop it Girl” did not chart on any pop list.
- They released their second album, “Hangin ‘Tough,” in 1988, which had five songs in the top ten of the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
- Needless to say, the net worth of Knight benefited significantly from the success of this album, and New Kids on the Block has sold over 70 million albums worldwide since the release of “Hangin ‘Tough,” and even their first release went platinum several times.
- The band split up in 1994, and Knight embarked on a solo career; he released his debut single “Give it To You” in 1999, which achieved great commercial success as it peaked at the 10th position on the Billboard Hot 100 and also received a nomination for the Best Dance Video MTV VMA Award.
- Overall, the career of Knight is very successful; with every album released since 1986, his net worth has increased, and it continues to grow, as it was announced that New Kids on the Block will embark on a tour, and then join the studio for another album.
