Having decades worth of a career, Gary Wright's net worth reached a whopping amount before his death.
Celebrity Net Worth states that he hit the $10 million mark at the time of his passing, although some sites estimated it at around $12 million.
Wright's fortune mostly came from his work as a musician, starting when he debuted in 1970 with his debut studio album, "Extraction."

He dropped his groundbreaking project, "The Dream Weaver," in 1975, and the material immediately appeared in the U.S. chart's No. 7 place.
Wright continued his career in music afterward and dropped more albums, including "The Light of Smiles," "Touch and Gone," "Headin' Home," "The Right Place," "Who I Am" and "First Sings to Life," to name a few.
Among the songs he worked on, his "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive" became the most successful ones having appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
