Ozzy Osbourne's incredible net worth revealed as he passes away weeks after final show

The legendary rockstar Ozzy Osbourne amassed a colossal fortune before his death, which sadly occurred just weeks after his final performance.

On Tuesday, 22 July, Ozzy's family confirmed the devastating news that the Prince of Darkness had passed away following a battle with Parkinson's Disease. The former Black Sabbath frontman leaves behind an enduring legacy and a substantial inheritance for his family, with the bulk of his assets going to his wife Sharon Osbourne and their children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne.

According to Celebrity Net Worth reports, Ozzy was worth an estimated $220 million (£172.6m). The lion's share of his wealth comes from his successful career in the music industry, spanning over half a century, beginning with his heavy metal band Black Sabbath in the late 1960s and continuing with a prosperous solo career that kicked off in 1979.

Throughout his solo career, Ozzy released 13 studio albums including fan favourites Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. One of his most memorable concerts was Ozzfest, which attracted 5 million concert-goers and raked in over $100 million (£78.5m).

Thanks to the success of this festival, Ozzy became the first hard rock and heavy metal star to ever hit $50 million (£39.2m) in merchandise sales, reports the Mirror US.

Beyond the wealth amassed from his musical endeavours, Ozzy also expanded his fortune through reality television appearances.

His most renowned programme was The Osbournes, which was broadcast on MTV between 2002 and 2005.

The show allowed viewers to witness the everyday existence of Ozzy, his spouse, and their offspring, Jack and Kelly.

Ozzy and his son Jack were also featured in the reality programme Ozzy and Jack's World Detour, which was shown on the History Channel from 2016 to 2018.

Throughout the three-series run, the father and son pair visited their dream historical destinations across America, from popular attractions such as Mount Rushmore to more specialised locations like a private collector's museum housing operational military vehicles.

Beyond music and reality television, Ozzy also released his memoir entitled I Am Ozzy, which was published in October 2009.

The book's description states: "Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll."

Ozzy has additionally appeared in various advertisements including I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, Workday Super Bowl commercial, Liquid Death, amongst others.

The rock icon was also included in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour, where players could select him as a character. Ozzy has ventured into the business world, partnering with Metal Casino, an online gaming site, where he serves as a brand ambassador and part-owner.

Through this partnership, Ozzy offers players exclusive access to concert tickets, merchandise, and backstage passes.

The rockstar and his wife Sharon have been known for their luxurious lifestyle, owning several opulent homes including a mansion in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, and a historic house in Buckinghamshire, England, known as the Welders House.

Ozzy's final gig was a massive success, raking in over $190 million in sales, all of which the generous star donated. The proceeds from his last show were dedicated to Parkinson's research, with charities such as Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorn Children's Hospice benefitting from his generosity.
