During the early-‘90s, the music business suddenly was taken over by grunge. While several bands from that genre are beloved, including Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots, most people consider Nirvana to be the top grunge band of all time. In fact, a lot of people still love Nirvana’s top songs and fans still want to know everything they can about the band.
As everyone familiar with music history should already know, millions of people mourned when it was announced that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was no longer alive in 1994. More importantly, Kurt left behind a lot of loved ones including his daughter Frances Bean Cobain who was only 1-years-old at the time. Now that it has been a long time since Kurt Cobain passed away, Nirvana fans are wondering what his daughter Frances Bean is up to and how much she is worth.
What Does Frances Bean Cobain Do?
Easily among the biggest Rock ‘N’ Roll legends of all time, Kurt Cobain is one of those rare musicians who is a big enough deal that people wear shirts emblazoned with a photo of him. While there is no doubt that Courtney Love has gone through some dramatic ups and downs during her life, the truth remains that she doesn’t get enough credit. After all, Love’s band, Hole, released several hit songs and she was excellent in movies like The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon.
Given all of the success that Frances Bean Cobain’s parents had as artists, it isn’t overly surprising that she has followed in their footsteps in a way. For example, Frances Bean provided guest vocals for the musical duo Evelyn Evelyn’s song “My Space”. More notably, Frances Bean is a visual artist whose work has been shown in galleries on more than one occasion.
On top of Frances Bean Cobain’s Artistic endeavors, she has worked as a model in the past. In fact, Frances Bean has appeared in the pages of Elle UK and Harper’s Bazaar. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Frances Bean was announced as the face of Marc Jacobs's Spring/Summer campaign in 2017.
Who Is Frances Bean Cobain Dating?
As the daughter of one of the ‘90s most talked-about musicians, Frances Bean Cobain has always been in the public eye to a certain degree. As a result, it is known that in 2014 Frances Bean married The Eeries’ lead vocalist and guitar player Isaiah Silva. Unfortunately, Frances Bean and Isiah weren’t able to make things work which is why they finalized their divorce in 2017. On the bright side, Frances Bean has been dating Riley Hawk since 2021 and she seems happy with the son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
On top of finding her way in the world, Frances Bean Cobain also is responsible for helping to maintain her long-gone father’s legacy. The reason for that is Frances Bean owns the publicity rights to Kurt Cobain’s name and image. As a result of that, Frances Bean has to make a lot of decisions about how Kurt’s work is presented to the world. For example, when the Nirvana rarities album “Silver: The Best of the Box” was released in 2005, Frances Bean chose its cover photo even though she was only 13-years-old at the time. Given the fact that Frances Bean has admitted that she isn’t a Nirvana fan, it is funny that she has so much control over Kurt’s legacy.
Frances Bean Cobain Is Worth $200 Million
Since Frances Bean Cobain owes her great wealth to an inheritance, gauging her net worth is a little bit more complicated than most stars. The reason for that is that celebritynetworth.com reports that Frances Bean’s is currently worth $11.2 million. However, celebritynetworth.com explains that Frances Bean’s ultimate net worth is $200 million since she will get the rest of her inheritance when she turns 30 on August 18, 2022.
Even though most people would love to receive a huge amount of money, Frances Bean Cobain has revealed that her inheritance has resulted in her feeling quite a bit of “guilt”. During a 2019 appearance on the podcast “RuPaul: What’s the Tee”, Frances Bean revealed why she feels guilty about taking her father’s money.
"My relationship to money is different because I didn’t earn it. It’s almost like this big, giant loan that I’ll never get rid of. I have an almost foreign relationship to it or guilt because it feels like money from somebody that I’ve never met, let alone haven't earned myself." During that same podcast episode, Frances Bean revealed that she wasted $11 million after she got her inheritance but before she got sober.
