The Backstreet Boys have been taking over the industry for decades now and many fans from their generation are still listening to their music up to this day. Since the famed boy band has been working for years, many people wonder who's the richest member based on their net worth.
According to SCMP, the chart-dominating group is composed of Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell. They were formed in Orlando, Florida, almost 30 years ago, and have not stopped performing in concerts and releasing songs ever since.
Even though they were formed in 1993, they still managed to stay relevant because of their OG fans from the 90s and the 2000s.
They recently just released the first Christmas album of their careers titled "A Very Backstreet Christmas" last month which contains 10 song covers and three originals.
Who's The Richest Backstreet Boys Member Based on Net Worth?
AJ McLean
Considered the "bad boy" among the members, AJ McLean has been taking over the industry by storm, but there were personal life problems that almost cost his career.
The musician reportedly suffered from drug and alcohol abuse, but he finally stopped his habits in 2020, saying that he's currently in his "best shape" and "mindset."
McLean sits at the last spot for having the least net worth. His fortune is approximately $30 million.
Nick Carter
Even though Nick Carter launched his solo career in 2002, he managed to return to his pals and continued making music with them. After making a name for himself, Carter was able to release three solo albums.
Aside from being a musician, the singer also became a reality tv star for his family's series "House of Carters."
As of 2022, the pop star has an estimated net worth of $35 million.
Kevin Richardson
Before he became a global sensation, Kevin Richardson had humble beginnings as he considered joining the Air Force band. He later worked at Disneyland Orlando and became a model before singing for Backstreet Boys.
The singer modeled for some of the biggest brands in the fashion industry like Versace and Tag Heuer.
Richardson has an estimated net worth of $40 million as of 2022.
Howie Dorough
Howie Dorough also briefly left the group to focus on his solo career, but he was only able to release one album called, "Back to Me."
He has several business ventures under his belt like HC Entertainment, Street Management, and a real estate development company called Sweet D with his brother.
The musician has the same net worth as Richardson; both of their fortunes are worth $40 million.
Brian Littrell
Littrell was one of the Backstreet Boys members who had a successful solo music career as his album "Welcome Home," which was released in 2005, sold 100,000 copies.
He mainly earns money from his solo career and being a boyband member combined, making him the richest member with an estimated net worth of $45 million.
