$30 Million

Gordon Lightfoot net worth: Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian singer-songwriter with an estimated net worth of $30 million dollars. Born in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, Gordon Lightfoot, displayed talent as a musician very early on, and began writing his own music when he was four. He went on to perform in various choirs during elementary school, won multiple vocal competitions, and performed on the radio and in concert. He taught himself how to play the piano, the drums, and the guitar. He was also a record holder in track and field events at his high school. He moved to California in the late 50s to study jazz, and then returned to Canada in the 60s. He went on to become one of folk rock’s most enduring and popular artists. He has released 20 albums, with a 21st forthcoming, and has had #1 hits in multiple countries. Five of his albums have achieved Gold status, and another four have achieved Platinum or multi-Platinum status.

IMO He is actually quite invaluable and certainly worth his weight in gold
I doubt if it is posible to put a value on genius anyway

Yes but to us "He's worth more than money, He's 14 Karat gold" or to paraphrase the commercial
The enjoyment of a Lightfoot song is Priceless

Zowie. Good for Gordon! He was on a talk show - I forget which one, but I know it was in the early 80s and when asked about his success he referred to a quote and stated, "The harder I work, the luckier I get!" Yep.

Of course he lost some of that long ago, when he had the largest alimony payment in Canadian history, but I'm sure with all the touring he is doing now, he is back up there again.

The figure of 30 million is current.

That divorce settlement was in 1974, he still maintained a large portion of his wealth at that time and has continued to tour and sell albums and have royalties for the last 38 years.
