Kurt Cobain Wiki Biography

Kurt Donald Cobain was born on 20 February 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington State, USA, of Irish, English, Scottish and German ancestry. Kurt was one of the most popular musicians of his day, perhaps best known for being a member of the legendary band called “Nirvana”. During his career, Kurt and his band were nominated for and won various awards, including American Music Award, Grammy Award, MTV Video Music Award, BRIT Award and others. Despite the huge success that the band had, Kurt struggled with his personal problems and took his own life in 1994, when he was only 27 years old. The world lost a very talented musician who had added a lot to the music industry. There is no doubt that Kurt will be remembered for a long time by many fans of his work.

So how rich was Kurt Cobain? Sources have estimated that Kurt Cobain’s net worth was $100 million, mainly gained through his successful career as a musician. Many songs released by “Nirvana” became hits and are even famous nowadays. Unfortunately, the music world lost this talented personality too soon. Sadly, there is no chance that Kurt’s net worth will become higher.

Kurt cobains parents were a motor mechanic (father Donald) and a waitress (mother Wendy), but relatives were musicians and apparently encouraged Kurt in his singing and playing, even from when he was 2 years old. Later he also learned how to play a piano. Kurt listened to such artists as “The Beatles”, “Ramones”, Terry Jack and others. Sadly, Kurt’s childhood was not very perfect as his parents divorced when he was seven years old. This influenced his life a lot and changed his character, becoming very rebellious as a teenager. When Kurt was 14 years old he received a guitar as a gift from his uncle. Soon he learned how to play different covers of famous songs and even wrote his own songs. In 1987 Kurt and Krist Novoselic decided to form a band and called it “Nirvana”. In 1989 they released their first album, entitled “Bleach” and this had a huge impact on the growth of Kurt Cobain’s net worth. Later the band released two more albums: “Nevermind” and “In Utero”. These albums gained a lot of success and “Nirvana” became one of the most famous bands at that time. Kurt and his band was able to make themselves known all over the world and even now “Nirvana” is considered to be one of the most popular bands.

While talking about Kurt’s personal life, he had several relationships. At first he had a relationship with Tracy Marander and later with Tobi Vail. Both these relationships did not go so well. In 1990 Kurt met Courtney Love. In 1992 the couple married and in the same year their daughter Frances Bean was born. Despite his professional success and the family he had, Kurt had many personal problems and was not able to get over them. He tried to kill himself several times, and although his wife Love tried to help him, all her attempts were futile as he shot himself in 1994. Sadly, the world lost a young and talented personality.
