Dave Grohl: How Much Is The Famous Musician Really Worth?
As Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters gear up to release their tenth studio album, Medicine At Midnight, in February 2021, the famous musician opened up about his time with Nirvana and how he dreams they were still a band. "I still have dreams that we're in Nirvana, that we're still a band," he told Classic Rock Magazine in January 2021. "I still dream there's any empty arena waiting for us to play." However, Grohl said he "wouldn't feel comfortable" singing a song that Kurt Cobain sang. "I feel perfectly at home playing those songs on the drums," he explained. "But I don't sit down at home and run through Smells Like Teen Spirit by myself. It's just a reminder that the person who is responsible for those beautiful songs is no longer with us. It's bittersweet."
Grohl found early success as the drummer of Nirvana in the late 80s and early 90s and formed Foo Fighters in 1994 following Cobain's death. He has since released several albums and has won 16 Grammys with the rock band, as well as solidified his place as one of the greatest rock stars in the world. On top of all that, Grohl also has a very impressive net worth. Keep scrolling to find out how many millions he's really worth.

In less than 10 years, Grohl added another $40 million to his fortune. During that time, he and the Foo Fighters have released three studio albums, Sonic Highways (2014), Concrete and Gold (2017), and Medicine at Midnight (2021), as well as headlined Bud Light's Main Event concert at the Super Bowl XLVIII (per E!) and performed multiple promotional tours to support their albums in 2015 and 2017.
