How Much Is Ann Wilson’s Net Worth? Exploring Heart Singer’s Wealth and Net Worth Amid Cancer Diagnosis

Ann Wilson, an American musician known as the lead singer of the rock band Heart, recently announced her cancer diagnosis, which will require her band to suspend its activities until 2025. Meanwhile, 74-year-old Wilson, who is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, said that she will undergo preventive chemotherapy on the advice of her doctors after the cancer has already been surgically removed from her body.

Now that the popular singer has announced devastating news about her less than positive health, we take a look at the fortune and legacy she has built over the course of her decades-long music career.

Exploring Ann Wilson’s net worth in 2024 and how she made her money

Wilson, who stuttered as a child, turned to music as therapy in the hope that it would help her speak. Who would have thought then that the little girl would not only turn the extracurricular activity into her career, but also make something out of it?

In the 1970s, Wilson joined local band White Heart, which soon changed its name to Hocus Pocus before settling on Heart in 1974. The singer, needless to say, became the heart and soul of the band and has served as its lead singer ever since.

In 2007, Wilson expanded her wings and released her first solo album, Hope & Glory. The album featured contributions from icons such as Sir Elton John, Rufus Wainwright, KD Lang and more and included singles such as “Isolation,” “Little Problems,” “Little Lies” and “Immigrant Song.” In the years that followed, she released more albums, each one more successful than the last and helping to establish Wilson as one of the legends of contemporary music.

In recognition of their contributions to the music industry, and especially to rock, Wilson and her band were inducted into the coveted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. They also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy in 2023.

Needless to say, all the fame mentioned above has helped Wilson put a considerable amount of money into her bank account. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the singer is worth $18 million in 2024.

The majority of that money, to break it down for our readers, came from record sales, according to The Richest, another portal that lists the financial worth of wealthy celebrities like Wilson. A report from the portal suggests that Wilson and her band’s debut album, Dreamboat Annie, grossed at least $1,200,000. Her next album grossed even more money, according to the said publication’s data.

In addition, Wilson made a sizable profit by selling her 1980 Seattle home, valued at $460,000, for a higher price of $4.32 million in April 2019.

Ann Wilson’s private life – marriage and controversies

In the 1970s, Ann dated Hearts manager Michael Fisher. Ann wrote the song Magic Man about him. At the same time, Nancy Wilson, Ann’s sister and guitarist in her band, was dating Michael’s brother Roger.

However, Ann and Michael separated after he allegedly lost his heart to her.

In 1991, Wilson adopted a daughter, Marie, and in 1998 a son, Dustin, was born.

To give love a second chance in 2015, the singer married Dean Wetter. However, the marriage did not end well for anyone close to her. As Celebrity Net Worth reports, Wetter was arrested in 2016 for attacking Ann’s sister Nancy’s 16-year-old twin sons. In March of the following year, he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault.

The incident caused a rift between the sisters, which ultimately affected the band, and they went on hiatus. The hiatus ended in 2019 and the group started their Love Alive tour soon after.
