So how rich is Jeff Pilson? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $5 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. Music is the main source of Pilson’s net worth.
To begin with, the boy was raised in Illinois, but spent part of his youth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before moving to Longview, Washington where he matriculated in 1976. He began to play the bass at the age of 13, and studied music at the University of Washington but left before graduating.
In 1978, Jeff went to San Francisco where he recorded some experiences in local bands. In 1983, he reached Los Angeles, and was contacted by front man Don Dokken, who was looking for a bassist for his Dokken band. Pilson entered the band just in time to appear in the video clip of “Breaking the Chains” (1983), though without playing in the original track. Jeff became a vital member of Dokken during the years of their rise to fame, helping to write hits such as “Into the Fire” (1984), “Alone Again” (1985), “In My Dreams” (1986), “Dream Warrios” (1987) and many more, and establishing a base for his net worth.
Following the dissolution of the Dokken in 1989, Pilson founded the War & Peace band. In the early 1990s, he also worked as a trainer for Wild Horses, guitarist Michael Lee Firkins and McAuley Schenker Group. In 2001, he recorded with his former companion George Lynch the album “Wicked Underground”, which was produced by themselves.

In 2011, he founded the T&N group together with his former companions in Dokken, George Lynch and Mick Brown. The band released the album “Slave to the Empire” in 2012, in which Pilson is the solo voice helped by some special guests. He collaborated with Lynch in 2015 by taking part in the incarnation of the album “Rebel”.
