Stevie Ray Vaughan – $8 Million

Stevie Ray Vaughan’s loss was one of the biggest in the blues scene. He helped shape the blues revival scene in the ’80s, and he instantly became a huge artist in the industry after the release of his debut studio album in 1983, Texas Flood. As he claimed, hadn’t it been for Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King and other blues giants, he would have never played the guitar.

In 1990, Vaughan’s helicopter crashed, and blues fans lost a legend. His last studio album, The Sky Is Crying, was released posthumously, in 1991. It is claimed that thanks to his guitar skills, he was able to earn an $8 million net worth. He’s been a Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famer since 2015.
