Christine McVie Net Worth: How Much Did Fleetwood Mac Singer Make at the Time of Her Death?

As one of the greatest singers and songwriters, did Christine McVie's net worth reach a jaw-dropping amount?

McVie's band, Fleetwood Mac, and her family recently disclosed the heart-wrenching news to the public about her tragic passing. The singer, who was 79, died on Wednesday at a hospital following a short illness.

"She was in the company of her family. We kindly ask that you respect the family's privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being and revered musician who was loved universally," her family said.

The overwhelming number of tributes she has since received proved her broad contribution to the music industry. With that, Christine McVie's net worth also reached an impressive mark.

Christine McVie's Net Worth

On Celebrity Net Worth's website, it was estimated that Christine McVie's net worth at the time of her death was around $105 million.

Her fortunes mostly came from her gigs as a longtime member of Fleetwood Mac and her stint as one of the best songwriters in history.

The website shared the late singer's other sources of income, showing how she reached the mark on her own.

In 2021, McVie sold her song catalog to Hipgnosis, giving the company 100 percent of her ownership in the catalog, including the neighboring rights and writer's share.

She ultimately became the fourth member of Fleetwood Mac to secure a deal. She was also the second member to seal a deal with Hipgnosis.

Hipgnosis cofounder Merck Mercuriadis called her one of the greatest songwriters of all time who led the band to score 150 million albums sale. He also credited her for making the band one of the most-selling groups in history globally.

McVie earned $100 million from that deal.

In addition, the late singer and the band earned millions of dollars after Lindsey Buckingham sued the members for allegedly removing him from the lineup during the 2018-2019 Live Nation tour.

Three months after the filing, Buckingham and the bandmates reached an out-of-court settlement.

McVie also earned from her music, including her solo albums like "Christine Perfect," "Christine McVie," "in The Meantime," and "Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie." The singles from these albums entered several charts, especially her "Got a Hold on Me," "Love Will Show Us How," "One in a Million," and "Friend."
