What is Eric Benét's Net Worth?
Eric Benét is an acclaimed American R&B and neo-soul singer-songwriter with a net worth of $5 million. Born Eric Benét Jordan on October 15, 1966, in Mobile, Alabama, Benét's musical journey started in his teenage years with his family vocal group named Benét. The group signed with Capitol Records and released their self-titled album in 1992, which didn't achieve notable success.
Determined to make his mark, Eric pursued a solo career and signed with Warner Bros. His debut album, True to Myself, was released in the fall of 1996. While working on Earth, Wind & Fire's 30th anniversary CD, he met and began a relationship with actress Halle Berry, whom he married in 2001.
Inspired by his wife, Benét transitioned into acting, securing a recurring role on WB's series For Your Love. In 2001, he made his film debut in Mariah Carey's showbiz drama Glitter. However, his marriage to Berry ended in 2004, just a year before the release of his third album, Hurricane.
Returning to his roots in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Benét recorded Love & Life in 2008, an album that earned him two Grammy nominations. He continued his journey through musical nostalgia with Lost in Time, a homage to 1970s smooth soul, released in 2010. His subsequent album, The One, landed in June 2012, featuring collaborations with artists such as Lil Wayne and Shaggy.
On July 31, 2011, Eric married Manuela Testolini, known for her previous marriage to Prince. Their first child, Lucia Bella, was born on December 21, 2011. The couple welcomed their second daughter, Amoura Luna, on July 13, 2014.
