An American musician named Karen O has a net worth of $8 million.
Karen Lee Orzolek, who was born in Busan, South Korea, is the lead singer of the indie rock group the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and she goes by Karen O.
Her childhood was spent in South Korea before moving to New Jersey.
She attended Oberlin College and the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University after graduating from high school.
Karen O has been a member of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs since the group’s inception in 2000, when she was one of the group’s founders in New York City.
The group has released four studio albums as of 2014, including “Fever to Tell” in 2003, “Show Your Bones” in 2006, “It’s Blitz!” in 2009, and “Mosquito” in 2013.
“Mosquito is the only album from the group that has not been nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the Grammy Awards.”
Karen O’s distinctive fashion sense has made her a household name outside of the strict music industry. She was recognized as a Sex Goddess by “Spin Magazine” in 2004 and 2005, and in 2006, “Blender” named her one of the hottest women in rock music.
In 2008, Karen O joined Native Korean Rock and the Fishnets as a guest artist.
She has worked with a range of musical acts, including David Lynch, the Swans, and Santigold.
She has been featured on various soundtracks, such as “House of Wax”, “Jackass 2”, and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” which includes a rendition of Robert Plant’s song “Immigrant Song” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
She declined an opportunity to appear nude on the pages of “Playboy” magazine.
The release date for her first solo album, “Crush Songs”, is projected to be in late 2014.
Karen O and Barnaby Clay have been married since 2011.
