Introduction

Stevie Wonder is an American professional singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist with an estimated net worth of $200 Million.

Wonder is considered one of the most critically and commercially successful musical performers of the late 20th century.

Early Career

When Stevie Wonder was 12, he joined Motortown Revue, touring the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” which consisted of theatres that allowed black artists to perform. His 20-minute performance at the Regal Theater in Chicago was recorded and released as Recorded Live: The 12-Year-Old Genius.

From 1967 to 1970, he had several hit singles, including “I Was Made to Love Her” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” Although he was young, his musical abilities would make him one of the richest singers in the world before long.

When he was 20, Stevie Wonder released the album Where I’m Coming From in 1971, though it was poorly received. Soon after, he signed a new contract with Motown Records, which gave him a much higher royalty rate than what he was earning.

In 1972, he released Talking Book, which featured his no. 1 hit songs “Superstition” and “You Are the Sunshine of My Life.” These two songs earned Wonder three Grammy Awards, and the same year, he performed “Superstition” on Sesame Street.

Wonder then took part in a jam session with Paul McCartney and John Lennon, which would be released on A Toot and a Snore in ‘74. A year later, he won his second consecutive Grammy and two more in 1976, along with the Album of the Year Award.

An Established Musician

Entering the 1980s, he released the mainly instrumental album Stevie Wonder’s Journey Through “The Secret Life of Plants”.

Two years later, he gained another No. 1 with Paul McCartney and their song “Ebony and Ivory,” which talked about racial harmony. Wonder won an Academy Award for Best Song in 1985 and accepted it in the name of Nelson Mandela, which got him banned from South African radio.

Soon after, he was honored by the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid for his stance against racism in South Africa. He then made an appearance on Bill Cosby’s The Cosby Show and, the following year, released the album In Square Circle.

In 1986, he dueted with Bruce Springsteen on the track “We Are the World” and took part in the AIDS-inspired “That’s What Friends Are For” charity song. When the 90s rolled around, he recorded a soundtrack album for Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever and, in 1992, performed at the first Panafest in Ghana. He then sang at the 1996 Summer Olympics closing ceremony and, in 1999, performed at the Super Bowl XXXIII Halftime Show.

Recent Career

Although he slowed down in the 2000s, Stevie Wonder continued making music, though at a slower pace than before. His first new album in 10 years was released in 2005 and titled A Time to Love, though it received a lukewarm response.

In 2006, he made a guest appearance on Busta Rhymes’ The Big Bang and appeared in Snoop Dogg’s song “Conversations.” That same year, he appeared in the pre-game show for Super Bowl XL and, in 2009, played at Barack Obama’s Inaugural Celebration. He appeared on Celine Dion’s album Love Me Back to Life in 2013, and was featured in two songs on Mark Ronson’s Uptown Special.

In 2020, he announced his new vanity label, So What the Fuss Records, as part of Republic Records. At the same time, he released the singles “Can’t Put It in the Hands of Fate” and “Where Is Our Love Song.” Wonder appeared in the documentary Summer of Soul in 2021 and the following year celebrated the 50th anniversary of Talking Book, his 1972 album.

Real Estate

In December 2021, Stevie Wonder paid $13.85 million for a 19,593-square-foot, eleven-bedroom, fifteen-bathroom mansion in Los Angeles, California. The enormous property features multiple sitting rooms, a wine room, a games room, a home office, and an outdoor pool with a hot tub. According to public records, Stevie still owns the property, which now has an estimated value of $15.3 million, and costs him roughly $170,000 per year in taxes.
