Exploring fortune left behind by late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins

As per data pooled from multiple websites, the renowned Foo Fighters drummer was worth an estimated $40 to 57 million.

The drummer also worked on his solo projects which received some success. Early in his career, Taylor Hawkins played drums for a local Los Angeles band called Sylvia.

Later, the late rock drummer was associated with the British-Canadian rockstar Sass Jordan around the early 1990s. Following this, Hawkins collaborated with Alanis Morissette as the drummer on two of her tours, from mid-1995 to early 1997.

In March 1997, Hawkins joined the Foo Fighters after the departure of his predecessor William Goldsmith. Hawkins had worked on almost every album with the band since their second studio album, The Colour and the Shape, recorded around 1997 when the late drummer joined them.

Following his debut with Foo Fighters, Oliver Taylor Hawkins collaborated with the band on one EP and more than eight studio albums. The last remains their tenth album, 2021’s Medicine at Midnight.

The late 50-year-old drummer’s wife and children reportedly live at their 7,000 square-foot Hidden Hills estate, which he allegedly bought for $2.7 million in 2012. Hawkins is believed to have had multiple such investments throughout his lifetime.
