What is Bootsy Collins' Net Worth?
Bootsy Collins is an American musician and singer-songwriter who has a net worth of $3 million dollars. Born William Earl Collins in Cincinnati, Ohio, he began his musical journey in the late 60s, forming a band called The Pacemakers. They received their big break when James Brown's band quit over a pay dispute. The Pacemakers were hired as replacements and were renamed the Original J.B.s. They performed with James Brown for nearly a year and contributed to several tracks including the hit "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine".
Collins then moved to Detroit and joined Funkadelic, furthering his career in the funk scene. He didn't stop there; he formed his own group called Bootsy's Rubber Band, releasing five albums. One of these, "Bootsy? Player of the Year", reached #1 on the R&B charts. A prolific artist, Collins played bass and penned songs for almost every Parliament-Funkadelic album. He continues to tour as a solo artist and collaborates with other musicians.
In addition to his performance career, Bootsy Collins is also an educator. He is the curator and lead professor for Bootsy Collins' Funk University, an online bass guitar school where aspiring musicians can learn from the legend himself.
