Manowar has been actively touring and making music since 1980. They changed almost ten members throughout their career, but still made thirteen studio albums, two EPs, and various other media. As of 2023, Manowar has sold more than 30 million records worldwide. But how much is each member’s net worth?
Joey DeMaio
Founder member and bassist Joey DeMaio co-founded the band in 1980 and is also the founder and CEO of Magic Circle Records. With his income from both his record company and the band’s sales, DeMaio has a net worth of $10 million.
Eric Adams
Adams became the lead vocalist of Manowar after being suggested by DeMaio. Before Manowar, Adams was part of Ross the Boss’s band, Shakin’ Street. It was during this time, with advice from Ronnie James Dio, that Ross and DeMaio decided to form Manowar, with Adams as the singer.
Adam also has a net worth of approximately $10 million, coming from his contributions to the band.
Michael Angelo Batio
Batio joined Manowar in 2022. Before Manowar, he was the lead guitarist for the glam metal band Nitro from 1988 to 1993, and then again from 2012 to 2019. Nitro released albums like ‘O.F.R.’ in 1989 and ‘Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S.’
Batio currently has a net worth of $4 million.
Dave Chedrick
Drummer Dave Chedrick also joined in 2022, replacing Anders Johansson. Johansson was unable to perform with the band on their “Crushing The Enemies of Metal Anniversary Tour ’22/’23” due to family commitments.
While there is no public information about Chedrick’s net worth, it’s estimated to be around $3-4 million.
With their extensive contributions to the band and side projects, both Eric Adams and Joey DeMaio are the wealthiest members of Manowar.
