Keith Moon, an English drummer, passed away in 1978 with a net worth of $10 million.
After factoring in inflation, the equivalent amount of money in today’s economy is approximately $40 million.
The Who band, which included Moon as their drummer with Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and John Entwistle, had Moon as their most notable drummer.
During Keith’s tenure with the Who, the group released eight studio albums, including “The Who Sell Out” (1967), “Quadrophenia” (1973), and “Who Are You” (1978), and the band has sold more than 100 million records since their 1965 debut, “My Generation.” The estimated value of Moon’s estate is estimated to be between $70 million and $100 million.
“Two Sides of the Moon,” Keith’s solo album, was released in 1975, and he also starred as Uncle Ernie in the movie “Tommy,” which was inspired by the Who’s 1969 rock opera with the same title.
Moon was ranked #2 in a 2011 “The Best Drummers of All Time” poll by “Rolling Stone” readers, and in 1982, he was posthumously inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately, Keith’s death occurred in September 1978 due to an overdose of Heminevrin.
