Jimmy Page is one of the most legendary guitarists in rock and roll history. The almost preternaturally talented picker was known for his lengthy solos that were full of sounds no one had ever plucked out of a guitar before, using techniques no one had ever thought of before. In fact, as Rolling Stone points out, there were those who maintained that he had to have sold his soul to the devil to play the way he did. Page, for his part, never denied the accusations. Like Robert Johnson before him, such rumors were good for his reputation. It appears that Page may have even thrown fuel on the fire when he bought a home in Loch Ness, Scotland, once owned by the British occultist Aleister Crowley.

Led Zeppelin burned hard and bright, and Page hasn’t really been up to much ever since. (There was that one weird collaboration with Puff Daddy for his song on the soundtrack of the 1998 “Godzilla” film, but we’re gonna just continue to overlook that brief and inexplicable return to the pop music spotlight.) The band in which he pioneered heavy metal, however, has remained popular and gone down in rock history as an absolute legend. So just how well does such a career pay off? Let’s take a look into Jimmy Page’s net worth and see.

It definitely pays to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time
