American rock musician Brian Hugh Warner, aka Marilyn Manson, was born on January 5, 1969. He first gained notoriety as the lead singer of the band bearing his name, of which he has been the only constant since its founding in 1989. The band Marilyn Manson, after releasing their debut album, “Portrait of an American Family,” in 1994, quickly grew a fan base.

His stage name, like that of the other founding members of the band, was created by fusing the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson. He is well known for his contentious stage persona and public image.

Marilyn Manson has continued to put out successful albums and play to sold-out crowds despite line-up changes over the years. He has two platinum-selling albums, three more gold albums, and a fervent cult following that has helped seven of his releases reach the top of the charts. He has a successful visual arts career in addition to his music career. He has also appeared in a number of films.

Personal Information

Net Worth (2023)

The uncertainty surrounding his net worth can be attributed to the legal cases involving allegations of sexual assault against him, which started with the rape accusation made by Evan Rachel Wood (his ex-fiance) in 2016.

Subsequently, approximately 16 women have come forward to file lawsuits against him. These legal issues have led to several companies and organizations severing ties with Manson, including the record label Loma Vista Recordings.

As a result of the ongoing legal struggles and the consequences stemming from the allegations, Marilyn Manson's net worth has experienced a significant decrease between 2016 and 2023. The negative impact on his career and the loss of professional partnerships have likely contributed to the decline in his financial standing.

Sources of Income

Marilyn Manson's music career is his main source of income, though he has also portrayed a few roles and made cameos in a few films and television shows. The amount of money he actually earned from his work and his exact salary, however, are unknown.

Music Career

Marilyn Manson's music career took off with his first studio album, "Portrait of an American Family," produced by Trent Reznor. As they toured with Nine Inch Nails, the band quickly gained a devoted following. Their EP, "Smells Like Children," featuring the hit cover song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," propelled them to viral fame after its music video aired on MTV.

With rising fame came increased controversy for Marilyn Manson. Republican politicians accused their album "Smells Like Children" of containing "pre-packaged nihilism" and endangering humanity.

The band's second album, "Antichrist Superstar," fueled allegations of satanism and perversion. Despite the turmoil, it became their highest-charting album, selling millions of copies worldwide.

Manson's album "Eat Me, Drink Me" in 2007 marked a successful comeback, debuting at number eight on the Billboard Top 200. Their seventh album, "The High End of Low," released in 2009, received mixed reviews due to Manson's emotional struggles.

"Born Villain" in 2012 showcased a return to their heavy sound, while "The Pale Emperor" in 2015 was praised as their best album in decades, adopting a blues and rock vibe. "Heaven Upside Down" continued their streak with a violent punk style.

Other Ventures

Manson began making appearances in a variety of films and television shows as early as the late 1990s. His impressive list of accomplishments to date includes parts in series like “Sons of Anarchy.” In the past, he has also held the position of director.

In the late 1990s, Marilyn Manson started his career as a watercolor painter, and his work has since been displayed in numerous galleries all over the world. Manson also developed his own brand of absinthe, which was well-received.

Manson made a donation to Oxfam's 2013 "Rumble in the Jumble" fundraiser, which helped victims of sexual and domestic abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He has backed a number of organizations that give children from low-income families access to musical instruments and an education, including Music for Life and Little Kids Rock.
