Robbie Williams’ Net Worth and Records in Music Industry That Are Pretty Hard to Beat

Robbie Williams is not just another face in the music crowd—he’s a full-on icon, making waves since the ‘90s. From boy band heartthrob in Take That to solo superstar, Williams has rocked our world.

With a net worth in the millions, he’s living the dream while bringing us bangers like Angels and Rock DJ. Can we just appreciate that he entered the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million concert tickets in a single day for his 2006 Close Encounters Tour?

However, he’s had his fair share of ups and downs—think drama, fame, and mental health struggles. The English singer even dabbled in acting and got the Netflix treatment with his own documentary. He’s also set to star in Better Man, a film that’s said to explore the highs and lows of his decades-long career.

Robbie Williams’ Unbeatable Music Records

Robbie Williams has racked up $300 million over his 33-year career, making him richer than even Gary Barlow (via Celebrity Net Worth). He has 12 studio albums, 1 live album, 10 compilations, 1 EP, 10 video albums, 62 singles (8 as a feature), 6 promo singles, and 56 music videos (2 as a feature).

He kicked off his journey in the early ’90s as part of the hit boy band Take That, which took Britain by storm. But behind the scenes, things were rocky. Williams felt trapped, had tough times with drugs, and, let’s be honest, was living the party life a little too hard. After leaving the band in 1995, he was ready to show the world what he’s made of.

Fast forward to 1997, and his debut solo album, Life thru a Lens, drops. Boom! The hit single Angels flies off the charts, making it his signature jam. His next albums just kept climbing higher.

In 1998, the young singer released I’ve Been Expecting You, which had a cool James Bond vibe and included his first UK number-one single, Millennium. He toured the US and Canada in 1999 to gain some recognition, and with Sing When You’re Winning, Williams finally hit international success—selling over two million copies in just a week.

He has got versatility, switching from pop to rock to dance like it’s no biggie. And let’s not forget about his insane record deal with EMI—an estimated $100 million (via Variety) for six albums when the pop star renegotiated his deal in 2002? That’s what called a serious power move!

Williams has earned a jaw-dropping 18 Brit Awards, including four for Best British Male Artist. He’s also snagged two for Outstanding Contribution to Music and an Icon Award for his legendary status in British culture. Plus, The Robster has eight German ECHO Awards and three MTV European Music Awards in his trophy case. 

Robbie Williams is Also a Real Estate Mogul

Robbie Williams was smart enough to diversify beyond his music career and explore other ways to build his wealth. In 2005, he did a voiceover for a character in the animated film The Magic Roundabout, though there’s no info on how much that paid him.

Fast forward to 2018, and he joined the UK’s X Factor as a judge alongside his wife, Ayda Field, for a reported £10 million (approximately $12.3 million) deal, according to the Daily Mail. However, after just one season, he decided to step down from the judging panel.

Now, when it comes to real estate, Williams is a full-blown real estate mogul. According to the same entertainment and financial information website, he singer has bought and sold some jaw-dropping properties too. Back in 2002, he snagged a Beverly Hills pad for a cool $5.45 million and sold it for $10 million in 2017.

In 2016, Williams spent $22 million on a massive London mansion with 46 bedrooms. Then, in July 2018, he bought a Malibu mansion for $21 million. He barely had time to enjoy it before selling it for $28 million, making a profit of over $7 million in a really short time.

By March 2022, just a few weeks after selling his $70 million mansion to Drake, the 50-year-old paid $49.5 million for a house in LA’s Holmby Hills. This place is 19,000 square feet and sits on two acres. At this point, his real estate hustle is just as impressive as his music career.
