Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh singer, has a net worth of $30 million.
Bonnie Tyler’s debut album “The World Starts Tonight” and her single “It’s a Heartache” helped her achieve fame in the late 70s. She went on to score more hits in the 80s with “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero,” both written by Jim Steinman.
Bonnie Tyler, who was born as Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Neath, Wales to Elsie and Glyndwra in 1951, has been nominated for several Grammy Awards and British Awards throughout her career.
She was raised in a predominantly Protestant household with her two brothers and three sisters.
Tyler’s initial public performance was in a chapel where she sang the hymn “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” She opted for a job in a grocery store without any educational background.
After competing in a local talent contest in 1969 and placing second, Tyler made the choice to pursue a career as a singer.
She went on to become a backing vocalist for Bobby Wayne & the Dixies and later formed her own soul band, Imagination.
