John Mayer's Net Worth: The Singer Is Worth More Than You Think
John Mayer is one of the most successful singers on the planet, and he's got a bank account to prove it. The artist has made quite the name for himself in the music industry, starting in the '90s (via Biography). Mayer's fame rose in 2001 following the release of his debut album Room For Squares. His hit song "No Such Thing" was his first bonafide hit and the album also included two of his other most popular songs — "Your Body Is a Wonderland" and "Why Georgia." He's been nominated for an impressive 19 Grammys and has taken home the trophy 7 times.
The crooner still plays solo, but he's also currently a member of the Grateful Dead's Dead & Company, as Mayer's career has taken somewhat of a turn. From his highly-publicized relationships, some of his fans turning on him, to Hollywood itself showing disdain for him, the singer's rise to the top of the A-list has been rocky. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, he shared his new views on his idea of success. "I've disassociated myself from this hierarchy of, are you successful or are you a failure? Jockeying for placement on a ladder wasn't interesting to me then, and it certainly isn't now. That career went away," he revealed.
Still, Mayer's life in music has been incredibly successful, earning him an income that he can easily live off of for the rest of his life.
John Mayer spends his coin on luxurious things
John Mayer has an estimated net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In 2018, Mayer earned a spot on the list of Billboard's Highest-Paid Musicians. The year prior, he released his album The Search for Everything, which ended up being the No. 2 album in the Billboard 200. From that album alone, Mayer earned more than $900,000 from album sales and an additional $1 million from streaming.
All of Mayer's successes have awarded him the lifestyle of a superstar. In 2018, Curbed reported that the crooner purchased Adam Levine's one-story pad in Beverly Crest for a cool $13.5 million. The sprawling estate sits on 3.66 acres and includes a 7,100 square foot home, a two-story garage, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.
Mayer has also dropped a lot of coin on his watch collection (per CNBC). He's known as a "watch aficionado," and one of his Patek Philippe watches set him back $300,000. Mayer has not ever publicly disclosed precisely how much his collection is worth, but in 2015, he revealed to The New York Times that it's somewhere in the range of "tens of millions." We can only wonder what piece of real estate or wrist candy Mayer may buy next but one thing's for sure — it will probably be quite expensive.
