WTF

This cant be true, no fucking way

Serious question: Is that more or less than you thought?

Doesn't mean he has all that money, just that all the money he has earned (including for other people) totals that

net worth != wealth or whatever savings he has in the bank

came here to ask same

Way more than I thought, Thurston Moore is as rich as Lana Del Rey, I cant believe this.

considering how he's barely doing anything nowadays, I wonder if he's just chilling and sitting on his pile

not OP but i thought it would be much higher
sonic youth was really the biggest and most popular "indie" that i can think of, over a career of almost 40 years i would have expected him to have earned more than that.

Didn't he say in an interview that after the divorce he didn't have a place to live?

I don't know, seems reasonable to me. He's been a musician for a long time, and even though he isn't mainstream, he's about as successful as you can expect an indie rock guitarist to become. Also, a majority of his career was during the era during which artists weren't getting screwed over financially by online downloads or unfair managers.
