Bruce Anthony Johannesson, born on the 14th of May, 1962, is an American musician who became famous for his band Poison using the stage name C.C. DeVille.
So how much is DeVille’s net worth? As of early 2017, it is reported to be $10 million, acquired from his years being a musician and for appearing in television.
Born in Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn, New York, DeVille started his love for music at a very young age. He sites that his love for music stared when he saw the Beatles perform on “The Ed Sullivan Show”. Later on his parents gave him a guitar and a Japanese Telecaster copy. He listened to various rock bands that later on became his inspiration.

He decided to move to Los Angeles in 1981 and joined various bands to score a career in music. Some of the bands he joined include St James, Lace Slip, Screaming Mimi and Roxx Regime. Although it was a slow start his career in music was growing and so was his wealth.
DeVille stumbled upon a band called Poison in which he auditioned to be their lead guitarist. He fought for the position against another guitarist named Slash that later became popular too. Ultimately, he got the position and officially became part of the band along with bassist Bobby Dall, drummer Rikki Rockett, and vocalist Bret Michaels.

After non-stop success, DeVille also experienced some low when he had a falling out with the band. In 1991, while the band was performing at the MTV Video Music Awards, DeVille played “Talk Dirty to Me” instead of “Unskinny Bop”. Vocalist Bret Michaels accused him of being drunk and under the influence of drugs, thus he was kicked out of the
DeVille tried to create his own band Samantha 7, but after some years he eventually reconnected with band.
Aside from being successful musically, DeVille also had a short stint in television where he appeared in the reality show “The Surreal Life” in its sixth season.
