You may assume that a band like Bon Jovi has seen better days, but just think: these guys get paid every single time one of those songs gets played on the radio or television or any other media. And if you've ever listened to the classic rock station, you'll know that they play Bon Jovi just about every other song. Sprinkle in a few overplayed hits from Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, and some Zeppelin for credibility, and you've got a classic rock station. Simply put: the guys from Bon Jovi are still raking it in despite not topping the pop charts with new music.
So just how much is Richie Sambora worth these days? The folks over at Celebrity Net Worth calculate his estate at around $100 million. But that fortune isn't the only accolade he's received for his talent. Sambora is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, class of 2009, and has been featured as a guest guitarist on several non-Bon Jovi records. "He has seen a million faces," writes Celebrity Net Worth, "and rocked them all." And he's got the bank account to show for it.
