Given the fact that Taylor Hawkins spent 25 years with Foo Fighters, it shouldn't shock anyone that he accrued quite an impressive net worth. The estimated figure, however, may come as more of a surprise. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hawkins was worth an estimated $40 million at the time of his death, and if you consider how things were when he replaced William Goldsmith as the Foos' drummer, he came a very long way. Although their 1995 self-titled debut album was a success, producing rock radio hits such as "I'll Stick Around" and "Big Me," the Foo Fighters were mostly an opening act for heavyweights such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers when Hawkins joined. That would change as the band went from strength to strength, and about a decade later, they had become a regular headline act playing in front of tens of thousands of people.
Aside from his work with the Foos, Hawkins was also involved in a number of side projects, including Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, the Birds of Satan, and Chevy Metal, the latter of which was a cover band that specialized in deep cuts from Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, and other classic rock legends. In addition, he had a brief stint as Coheed and Cambria's studio drummer on their 2007 release "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow," and guested on Slash's 2010 self-titled album.
