After their first album was released, they decided to get back into the studio for their second album, “Life Is Peachy”. It wasn’t well-received by critics but eventually reached number three on Billboard 200 albums chart.

Jonathan Davis Net Worth $50 million

Korn singer Jonathan Davis has amassed an estimated net worth of $50 Million by performing for years with the band and through various side projects. Davis was known for his intense live performances which made him stand out from his fellow musicians.

After leaving Sexartin in 1993, Jonathan Davis founded Korn alongside former LAPD musicians James Shaffer, Reggie Arvizo, and David Silveria. Throughout his nearly 30 years of recording music, Davis has impressed millions of fans with his eccentric singing style and heartfelt lyrics.

Aside from his success with Korn, Jonathan Davis has worked on several other projects, including his EDM alter ego JDavis. He wrote songs for two movies — one was called “The Twilight Zone Theme Song” (2002) and another was called “The New Twilight Zone Theme Song“ (2019).

James Shaffer Net Worth of $30 million

Munky, who was born James Sheffer, is the second wealthiest musician in the world after having an estimated net worth of $30 million. One of the world’s most famous guitarists, Shaffer has overcome numerous obstacles throughout his life but never let any of these stop him from achieving success.

James’ first experience of playing an instrument wasn’t typical at all. After an accident involving a motorcycle which resulted in the loss of the tip of one of his fingers, he decided to start playing guitar again. After that, he joined Korn for their reunion shows and released two solo albums.

Reginald Arvizu Net Worth is $20 million

Before he joined Korn, Fieldy played guitar for L.A.P D., which was founded by James Shaffer and David Silveira. He then left to join Korn. He’s regarded as one of the band’s best songwriters; he has an estimated net worth of 20 million dollars, making him the third-richest member of the group.

Originally his bandmates called him Gopher, but eventually changed their minds and named him Garfield. They then later decided to name him Fieldy instead. One of the greatest influences in his guitar playing has been Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Brian Welch Net Worth of $10 million

The guitarist of Korn, Brian ‘Head’ Welch has earned the majority of his wealth by being a member of one of the super album rock bands of all time. Given his net worth of $10 million, Brian appears to be making slightly less than his bandmates.

He’s widely known for his contributions to creating the sounds of Korn along with longtime friend James Shaffer. But in 2005, Brian left the band because he was reborn as a Christian and began pursuing his own solo career instead. He debuted his first Christian album called ‘Save Me From Myself’ in 2008.

After leaving Korn in 2012, Welch rejoined the group for the recording of their tenth studio album, ‘The Paradigm Shift,’ released in 2015. He also plays guitar in another Christian rock band named Love and Death with whom he plans to release an upcoming album titled “Perfectly Preserved” by 2021.

Ray Luzier Net Worth of $10 million

Korn’s famous drummer Ray Luzier (who was born Raymond Lee) has a net worth of 10 million dollars, which is similar to his bandmate, Brian “Head” Welch (born Christopher Michael). Before he became the permanent drummer of KORN, Luzier had worked with another legendary figure from the world of rock ‘n’ roll, David Lee Roth.

After teaching music lessons at Music Institute for nearly 10 years, Ray Luziers’ paths crossed with Van Halen legend David Lee Roth in 1997 when he joined his band. Until he left his band in 2006, Roth was the drummer for both DLR Band (2006) and Diamond Dave (2008).

Korn has received several awards and nominations. They’ve achieved success by releasing albums that consistently chart at the top of various music charts, including the Billboard 200. They were nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Hard Rock/Metal Album for their album Soot and Ladders in 1997. They’ve also been nominated for six Grammys and have received another Grammy.

They were awarded an MTV Asia Award in 2006. The band’s song, “Freak on a Leash,” has been nominated for nine MTV Video Music Awards for video of the year, including best rock video.
