Chris Brown Net Worth

 

Chris Brown has enjoyed massive fame following his critically acclaimed career as a singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and rapper. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, in 1989, Brown started going to his church at a very young age. He started performing with his church choir and soon started attending local talent shows as well.

His performance of Usher’s version of ‘My Way’ made his mother recognize the potential he had and hence, they started looking for a record contract for him.

At the tender age of 13, Brown was discovered by Hitmission Records who introduced his demo to Island Def Jam Music Group. Tina Davis of Def Jam, who later lost her job due to a merger, became Brown’s manager and started to promote the singer to Jive Records, Warner Bros. Records, J-Records, etc.

Brown eventually needed up selecting Jive because it catered more to younger pop singers, such as Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at that time.

In November of 2005, Brown’s self-titled album “Chris Brown” was released and garnered massive success. In 2008, he starred in Stomp the Yard and also released an album called “exclusive.” Brown then experimented with his musical style wanting to emulate the likes of Michael Jackson, Prince and Stevie Wonder. His third studio album “Graffiti” was released during December 2009 but received poor reviews from critics.

In August of 2010, he starred in the crime thriller Takers alongside big Hollywood names such as Paul Walker and Idris Elba. The following year he released his fourth studio album titled “F.A.M.E” which, in spite of mixed reviews, became the singer’s first number one album in the US. Subsequently, in 2012 he released his fifth studio album “Fortune” leading to negative reviews from critics.

In September 2014 Brown released his sixth studio album titled “X,” which debuted at number 2 on US Billboard 200. His latest album which was also his first collaborative album titled “Fan of a Fan: The Album” was released in 2015.
