Blink-182 singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge has an estimated net worth of $60 million. He currently made headlines after reports spread online on Monday that he has left the band. According to Rolling Stones, Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker released a statement saying founding member DeLonge had left the band "indefinitely."
Tom DeLonge's net worth became news after rumors claimed Blink-182 disbanded. DeLonge is a 39-year-old American singer-songwriter and entrepreneur. He rose to global prominence as the guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the American rock band Blink-182, which he formed with bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor during his high school years.
In addition to Tom DeLonge's musical career, he also manages business ventures that he founded, which contributed to his $60 million net worth as listed by The Richest. He is the founder of Macbeth Footwear and Modlife, a technology and design firm. He also expanded into writing, releasing a children's book, "The Lonely Astronaut on Christmas Eve," in 2013.
Tom DeLonge established a holding group, Really Likeable People (RLP) with a $20,000 investment and co-founded a website specializing in youth-branded apparel, Loserkids.com. He is married to Jennifer Jenkins and they have two children, daughter Ava Elizabeth and son Jonas Rocket.
Meanwhile, Tom DeLonge's multimillion net worth is currently under scrutiny after reports that he left the band surfaced. Time reported the news came after the Musink Festival lineup was announced and Blink-182 will be headlining the festival. However, it was reported that Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba would replace singer-guitarist DeLonge for the band's upcoming set at the festival.
Tom DeLonge promptly addressed the rumors and gave a statement through an Instagram post.
"To all the fans, I never quit the band," he wrote. "I actually was on a phone call about a blink 182 event for New York City at the time all these weird press releases started coming in... Apparently those releases were 'sanctioned' from the band. Are we dysfunctional- yes. But, Christ..... #Awkward #BabyBackRibs"
Whether DeLonge left the band or not, one thing is for sure - the show must go on. But will the rumors affect Tom DeLonge's $60 million net worth?
