Gwen Stefani Net Worth: Gwen Stefani is an American music star and fashion designer with a $160 million net worth. Gwen Stefani rose to prominence in the 1990s as the main vocalist of the band No Doubt, but she has since enjoyed a tremendously successful solo career.

As a child and early adult, Gwen Stefani was interested in musical theater and first performed show tunes rather than rock or ska. However, she joined No Doubt in 1986, and nine years later, the publication of their third album, “Tragic Kingdom,” made them international superstars.

Gwen Stefani became a household name after the album sold over 16 million copies. Since then, she has released several albums with No Doubt as well as several highly successful solo albums. She has also had a relatively successful acting career and developed a profitable clothing brand.

Early Life

Gwen Renée Stefani was born on October 3, 1969, in Fullerton, California. She was raised in the adjacent California city of Anaheim. Her father, Dennis Stefani, was a marketing executive for Yamaha, and her mother, Patti (née Flynn), was a certified public accountant before becoming a stay-at-home mom. Jill is Stefani’s sister, while Todd and Eric are her brothers.

Personal Life

In 2002, Stefani wed guitarist and lead singer for the rock band Bush, Gavin Rossdale. In 2008, their second child, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, was born. Their first kid, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, was born in 2006.

Stefani announced on August 3, 2015, that she had filed for divorce from her husband of thirteen years, Gavin Rossdale. In 2015, she started dating Blake Shelton, her co-judge on “The Voice.”

Music Career

Eric Stefani, Gwen’s older brother, persuaded her to join the ska band he had created, No Doubt, in 1986. Eric played the keyboard for the band.

They joined Interscope Records in 1991, and their self-titled debut studio album was released in 1992. At the time, grunge music was more popular, yet the single “Don’t Speak” from No Doubt’s 1995 album “Tragic Kingdom” topped the Hot 100 Airplay year-end chart two years after its debut in 1997. The album was nominated for a Grammy, and it had sold more than 16 million copies worldwide by 2004.

No Doubt released the album “Return of Saturn” in 2000, followed by “Rock Steady” in 2001. The tracks “Hey Baby” and “Underneath It All” won Grammys. While No Doubt was enjoying popular success, Stefani began working on a variety of other projects. She teamed with the Brian Setzer Orchestra on “You’re the Boss,”

Moby on “South Side,” and Eve on “Let Me Blow Ya Mind,” which received the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

“Love. Angel. Music. Baby” is the title of Stefani’s 2004 debut solo album (also known as “L.A.M.B.”). It gained multi-platinum status in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. “Hollaback Girl” was her first No. 1 song in the United States and the first music download to sell over a million copies in the country.

“The Sweet Escape,” her second solo album, was released in December 2006. The title single of the album reached the top 10 in over 15 countries and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. The single “Wind It Up” landed in the top ten in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

While Stefani toured “The Sweet Escape” across North America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America on The Sweet Escape Tour (2007), No Doubt began working on a new album without her. Due to her pregnancy, work on the next No Doubt album was further delayed following her tour. The sixth studio album of No Doubt, “Push and Shove,” was released in September 2012.
