Bob Marley Wiki Biography

Bob Marley was a legendary musician who was famous all over the world. He is mainly known as a solo artist, but he was also a part of the group called “The Wailers”. Bob Marley is famous for such songs as “No Woman, No Cry”, “Three Little Birds”, “Is This Love”, “Get Up Stand Up” and many others. Bob Marley won a lot of awards during his career, and also after his death. Some of them include, Jamaican Order of Merit, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Peace Medal of the Third World and others. Unfortunately, Bob died while very young, in 1981. His death was a great lost in the music industry.

So how rich was Bob Marley? It has been estimated that Bob’s net worth now is $130 million. It is a really huge sum of money, based on 1981 rates, but a musician like Bob Marley deserves even more.

Robert Nesta Marley, known to the whole world as Bob Marley, was born in 1945, in Jamaica. From a young age Bob was interested in music and even had a vocal group together with Junior Braithwaite, Bunny Wailer, Beverley Kelso and Peter Tosh. At first Marley did not know how to play any of the instruments, but later Joe Higgs taught him how to play a guitar and this allowed Bob Marley to create many popular and legendary songs. In 1963 Marley became a part of the group called “The Wailers”, and this of course had a huge impact on the growth of Bob Marley’s net worth. They released the single entitled ”Summer Down”, which soon became very popular and praised. Despite the success that this band had, they decided to break up and start solo careers. The group disbanded in 1974.

One year later in 1975, Bob Marley released one of his most famous singles, called “No Woman, No Cry”. Bob Marley released many albums as a solo artist as well as being a member of ”The Wailers”. Some of them include, “The Best of the Wailers”, “Rastaman Vibration”, “Survival”, “Natty Dread”, “Uprising” and many others. The success of all these albums added a lot to Bob Marley’s net worth. Unfortunately, Bob Marley died from spreading melanoma in 1981. It is a pity that such a talented musician died while being so young. Although many years have passed, Bob is still remembered as one of the most successful and most influential musicians in the world. There is no surprise that Bob’s net worth is so high.

There were many movies created about Marley’s life. For example, “Rebel Music”, “Marley” and others. These have also continued to add to Marley’s net worth. Lastly, one should admit that Bob Marley will be always remembered as a man who gave a lot to the history of music and to the world. There is no doubt that he will remain in our memories for a long time in the future and that contemporary musicians will always look up to him. There will never be someone like Marley again.
