Deborah Ann Harry was actually born as Angela Trimble, on the 1st July 1945 in Miami, Florida USA and is a singer, songwriter and an actress who, as Debra or Debbie Harry, is best known as the lead singer of the American rock band – Blondie, which was at the peak of its career during the early 1980s, most famous for its hit singles Rapture, Maria and Heath of Glass.

Have you ever wondered how much wealth this veteran rock star has accumulated so far? How rich Debbie Harry is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Debbie Harry’s net worth, as of mid-2016, is $20 million, which has been primarily acquired throughout her music career which is now spanned almost half a century.

Debbie Harry was adopted at three months by New Jersey gift shop proprietors, Richard Smith and Catherine Harry. Debbie attended Hawthorne High School in New Jersey from which she matriculated in 1963, and subsequently enrolled at Centenary College, also in New Jersey, from which she graduated in 1965 with an Associate of Arts degree. Prior to beginning her singing career, Debbie Harry moved to New York and began working as a secretary at the BBC Radio office. Apart from her day job, Debbie also served as a cocktail waitress, go-go dancer and Playboy Bunny. All these engagements provided the basis for Debbie Harry’s net worth.

Debbie Harry sailed into music waters in 1968 as the backing singer of the folk rock group, Wind in the Willows. In 1974, Debbie Harry joined the Stilettoes in which she met her future boyfriend and colleague, Chris Stein, and soon after Blondie was founded. With Debbie as a singer and Chris as a guitarist, the band, at that time the pioneer in the early American punk and new way genre, released its first, eponymous album “Blondie” in 1976. By the end of 1982, when the group officially split up, they had released six studio albums including “Parallel Lines” (1978) and its hit single Hearts of Glass as well as “Eat to the Beat” (1979) and “Autoamerican” which were both certified platinum. All these achievements helped Debbie Harry to establish herself as a successful musician on the global scene, as well as to add a significant sum to her overall net worth.

Debbie Harry’s first solo album, “KooKoo” was released in 1981 and, before reaching gold status, peaked at No. 25 in the US and No. 6 in the UK. In 1986, she released her second studio album named “Rockbird” with hit singles French Kissin’, Free to Fall and In Love with Love. By 1997, when Blondie reunited, Debbie had released two more studio albums, of which both were huge commercial successes, adding millions to the total size of her net worth.

From 1997, Blondie with Debbie Harry as its ‘frontman’ and lead singer, has released another four studio albums, of which “No Exit” (1999) was certified gold with over 100,000 copies sold. Among the group’s biggest hit singles are Call Me, Rapture, and The Tide is High. Doubtlessly, these involvements have left a huge, positive, impact on the net worth of Debbie Harry.

Apart from her illustrious music career, Debbie Harry has also made some efforts towards an acting career. Apparently she appeared in more than 60 movies, such as “Union City” (1979), “Videodrome” (1983), “Hairspray” (1988), “Heavy” (1995) as well as “Six Ways to Sunday” (1997) among plenty of others. She has also made notable appearances in several TV series including “Ghost Whisperer”, “Glee” and “Smash”.

Debbie Harry was also a member of the Jazz Passengers, with whom she performed on several tours across the states and Europe. It is certain that all these accomplishments have helped Debbie Harry to round a successful and long-lived music career as well as to add millions to the amount of her wealth.

When it comes to her personal life, apart from being in a relationship with a Blondie colleague, Chris Stein, Debbie Harry has never married and has no children. She is currently very active in several charity causes, especially those devoted to fighting endometriosis, cancer and AIDS.

Debbie Harry Quotes

• [on current pop bands, 2014] I see a lot of people brimming with self-confidence that really don’t have anything to offer. I met a person who had the… I guess temerity is the word, to say that they were an idea person. If you’re an idea person, carry out one of your ideas. Do them, do them. Don’t just wait for someone. The work is where you get your shit together.
• [on her status as a sex symbol back in her day] Being hot never hurts!
• [on the 1970s]: You know I always felt about that period, that all of those drugs that came around that wiped out a lot of us and obliterated a lot of stuff, was all politically sanctioned. I always felt that and Chris said that too; that a lot of people who really had something important to say or do were subdued.
• That was always what I felt was the beauty of rock ‘n’ roll, it was entertainment and showbiz yet it had the idea of the voice of the people, it had an essence to it which was socially motivated. Not that I want to change to world, you know? But it was sort of relevant to real life, it involved the real essence of poetry or the real essence of fine art. But it was also entertainment. That was the real vitality.
• [on how she would have dealt with fame starting out young] Gee, I don’t know, I think I’d probably have been a better star, I think I would have gone for it in a much more showbiz kind of way. Which probably would have been better in the long run, you know? What I really wanted was to be was a beatnik, I really wanted to be an underground artist. That was really where my thrust was, being a pop star – I thought it was such bullshit, you know? I knew it was bullshit, I didn’t really give a rat’s ass about any of it, I wanted to be famous, but I didn’t really care about carrying any of it on, you know. In a sense it would have been better if I had approached it in a more legitimate showbiz kind of way.
• I’m very comfortable and happy with Chris, it’s a good thing, something happens with our two minds, which automatically just fits together. Even now everything is sort of parallel. We don’t even think about it, it just happens. I think we’re lucky that we actually found each other. I never expected anything like that to happen, I never knew that anything like that even existed.
• Why should you force your brain cells to remember a lot of stuff when the most important thing you can do is to come up with new stuff? For me you know, I’m just writing now and trying to think of things that take the twist with a lot of the stuff. Why should I sit here and be chronological or like a time machine with old information? It doesn’t make sense to me.
• The only place left for rock to go is toward more girl stars. There’s nothing left for men to do. There’s bound to be more male stars, but they can’t express anything new.
• [on actress Kirsten Dunst playing her in a proposed biographical film]: She’s a really sweet person. I’ve met with her a couple of times and hung out with her socially. She’s just a sweetie. She’s probably capable of a lot of things she hasn’t been asked to do yet, and doing something that’s sort of left of center would be great for her.
• (from an early 1980s interview) Performing in front of a camera is a new adventure for me. It’s a new and much more intellectual process. Music is more of the moment, more spiritual. It’s an event!
• (on her refusal to locate her birth parents) I know who I am, and it would be an insult to the Harrys.
• The only person I really believe in is me.
• I could be a housewife… I guess I’ve vacumed a couple of times.
• I wish I had invented sex.
