The Chainsmokers, who are made up of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, first debuted back in 2014 with their hit song "#Selfie". Not only did the song itself become an international hit, but the word "let me take a selfie" would forever be ingrained in pop culture. The iconic duo has since released a number of albums, scoring themselves hit songs with "Rose", "Something Just Like This", and "Closer", which featured Halsey.
With an incredibly successful career in music, headlining countless music festivals, including Coachella, it is safe to say that The Chainsmokers have done quite well for themselves in a rather short amount of time. Considering the duo are known for their songwriting and producing abilities, it's no surprise they have made a lot of money, but how much have the made exactly? Let's find out!
It All Started With A Selfie
Before Drew Taggart and Alex Pall of The Chainsmokers were breaking health regulations in order to host their very own "drive-in" concert in the Hamptons last week, the duo were busy taking selfies! The Chainsmokers first debuted back in 2014 with their hit song "#Selfie", that instantly blew up just about anywhere and everywhere!
Despite many people believing that these two would simply be a one-hit-wonder, The Chainsmokers managed to transform themselves into one of the most recognized EDM acts across the globe. With their hit song "Roses" gaining traction back in 2015, the duo were on a steady path to international success, and with each and every single released, Drew and Alex were getting closer and closer to the release of their first album! After their lead single "Closer", featuring Halsey was released, there was a complete takeover and The Chainsmokers were all anyone could talk about.
In 2017, The Chainsmokers released their debut album, "Memories Do Not Open", which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified platinum. The duo late released an album in 2018 and 2019, neither of which reached the top spot on any chart but still managed to reach gold certification. Although The Chainsmokers' last two albums did not have as big a commercial success as their first, they have managed to rake in millions from sales but more so, appearances!
Drew and Alex have headlined some of the biggest music festivals in the world, including Coachella. Considering the amount of success they have seen amongst the pop and EDM genres, The Chainsmokers have managed to amass a whopping net worth of $70 million! That is quite the feat for a group that has only been making music for less than a decade, however, all credit goes to Drew and Alex, who create their music themselves and collect every penny that comes out of it!
