Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor's net worth is yet to reach a whopping amount, but it does not make him think of selling the rights to his songs.
Musicians sold off substantial rights to their music over the past years, but Taylor recently clarified why he does not plan to take the same path for now.
Corey Taylor Net Worth 2023
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Corey Taylor's net worth in 2023 hit the $10 million mark - but it does not make him the sole richest Slipknot member to date.
The Des Moines, Iowa, native went through ups and downs before he was able to savor the fame with Slipknot, including struggling with substance abuse while dealing with mental health issues.
Unfortunately, the music industry almost did not get the chance to hear his voice when he attempted suicide when he was 18.
Taylor went on to embrace a major shift in his life in 1992 when he and drummer Joel Ekman founded Stone Sour. The band continued being active despite him finally fronting Slipknot in 1997 after he was recruited to join Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Joey Jordison.
Over the past years, he successfully released hit albums and songs with his bandmates, including the chart-topping "All Hope Is Gone" - Slipknot's first album to dominate the top spot of the Billboard 200.
He expanded his career as a soloist and released "CMFT" in October 2020 and its follow-up, "CMF2," in September 2023.
Why Corey Taylor Will NOT Sell Rights To His Songs
Despite the potential multi-million deal for his music rights, the Slipknot frontman recently revealed he does not think he would ever sell the rights to his songs.
In an interview with Belgium's Graspop Metal Meeting festival, Taylor answered the query whether he would sell the rights to his catalog while sharing that he still owns all his songs' publishing. According to the singer, he has been receiving offers over the past years but does not see himself accepting any of the deals.
"I've been, like, 'Nah. Nah. We're good.' Because, to be honest, I'm still writing," he explained. "I'm still modern in a way. I'm still kind of looking towards the future. My releases still do really, really well. So I'm still building that publishing up."
He does not share when exactly he thinks he will enter negotiations to sell the rights; but for now, Taylor declares how proud he feels to work on his songs.
