Grimes Net Worth (2020)
What Is Grimes's Net Worth?
Before 2018, you may not have been aware of the electronic musician from Vancouver. But when Grimes started dating well-known tech billionaire, Elon Musk, she moved to the forefront of notoriety. She and her boyfriend have been busy making headlines since their first appearance together and things have only gotten more interesting over the years.
Grimes' Early Life in Canada
The Canadian singer now known as Grimes was born on March 19, 1988 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Claire Elise Boucher was born to a Crown prosecutor and a banker who switched to the biotech business. Grimes, whose family was Roman Catholic, attended Catholic school as a young girl. She went to Lord Byng Secondary School, graduating in 2006.
Grimes moved from Vancouver to Montreal after graduation. She chose to attend McGill University there, becoming a double major in both neuroscience and the Russian language. While living there, she started composing her music under the name. The talented artist is self-educated in visual arts and music. However, she left McGill University early in the year 2011, failing to complete her degree.
Grimes' Growing Family
Grimes has been in a relationship with billionaire Elon Musk, the CEO of Space X, since 2018. With his fame as a prolific entrepreneur-businessman, Musk has been a millionaire many times over ever since he sold Zip2, his start-up company to Compaq Computers when he was still in his 20s.
Early in May 2020, Grimes and Musk happily welcomed their first child, a son, who was promptly named X AE A-12. Grimes attempted to explain the meaning of the unique name on social media, but many are still confused. In fact, given Musk's sense of humor, many followers of his Twitter account doubted its validity. But by all accounts, he and Grimes are serious about the name, though unclear about how to pronounce it.
Grimes' Career and Earnings
The Canadian musician-singer-songwriter began her professional career with her first album, Geidi Primes, in 2010. started touring under the name "Grimes" after she released Halfaxa, her sophomore album. At the beginning of 2012, Grimes signed a deal with 4AD. She soon released Visions, her third album, which propelled her career to new heights. A large portion of the credit for the success of the Oblivion singer's third effort goes to her YouTube fans, who viewed her music millions of times.
This successful singer shows no sign of slowing down. In 2015, Grimes released the album Art Angels, followed by Miss Anthropocene in 2020. She has also had her songs on movie and television soundtracks, such as Teen Spirit and an episode of Mr. Robot. Grimes has an estimated net worth of $3 million.
Where the Canadian Music Star Lives
In 2018, Grimes purchased a home in Pasadena. This was just before she and Musk made their public dating debut, so she may not have been considering cohabitation yet. The house has no garage and has just two parking places, not nearly for the Tesla founder's fleet.
The 3,721-square-foot house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It features some beautiful details, such as vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an inviting fireplace. Of course, with billionaire Musk as her boyfriend, she probably spends a great deal of time in one or more of his five mansions.
How Grimes Gets Around
With a boyfriend who founded Tesla, it is a pretty easy guess how Grimes gets around town. Recently, Musk has declared the Tesla Cybertruck his favorite vehicle. He has been seen with Grimes and friends cruising the streets of Malibu and Los Angeles, California.
Now that they have a child, the family dynamic has changed. With a new baby on board, the famous couple will need a lot of extra room. You can bet that little X AE A-12 will be chauffeured around town in high style and ultimate safety. And you can bet it will be in a Tesla.
Where the Singer-Songwriter Vacations
The word "vacation" is not popular with Grimes' boyfriend. In fact, Musk has famously boasted that he had only taken two vacations since he founded SpaceX. When he took the first one, he was at PayPal. While on vacation, he was replaced. His second attempt was even more severe. While in Brazil, he came down with malaria and nearly died.
It's a good thing the singer travels when she is on tour, if she wants to see something new. She has toured all across the North American continent, including Mexico, America, and Canada. She has performed in the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and many other locales around the world. Hopefully, she can make time to see the sights when her upcoming tour starts later this year.
