Robbie Williams, aged 50, has had a hugely successful career in the music industry which began in one of the most popular boybands in the UK, Take That.

After famously quitting to go solo in 1995, which devastated fans all over, the singer went on to become an even bigger success, topping the charts with singles like Angels and Eternity - all contributing still to this day towards his huge net worth.

Outside of his chart domination, he's also toured, which has been a big factor in his wealth, and even recently released his new Netflix documentary, Robbie Williams.

And it's not just career success Robbie has to brag about, but his marriage with former X Factor judge Ayda Field, 44, who he has two children with. Going from strength to strength, the couple have always been open about Robbie's struggle with addiction and the moment the two split early in their relationship.

After being in show business for over 30 years and producing some of the UK's most-loved songs, here's a look inside Robbie's net worth and just how he made it.

How did Robbie Williams make his huge net worth?

It's no secret that a huge proportion of Robbie's earnings is down to his career in music. However, there have been a number of other projects along the way that have done more than just contribute to his staggering net worth along the way.

Music

Aged just 16 Robbie joined one of the biggest boybands in the business Take That of whom he had huge success with. However, in 1995, he chose to take on the music industry alone, a decision that most definitely boomed his net worth.

In 2002, he signed an £80million music record deal which at the time was the biggest music deal in history. He went on to have 12 solo albums.

And for Robbie, breaking music records was a normal thing as he also sold the most amount of concert tickets in one day once.

Singles, albums and tours all meant Robbie made quite the fortune with his performances and vocals.

Property

For Robbie, a money-making side project came in the form of owning and selling property. It's reported in 2021 alone, he sold three homes totalling nearly £69million.

He also currently has a property in Beverley Hills with his wife Ayda worth £38.9million and a house in West London worth around £17.5.

Other projects

Despite making so much money from music, Robbie has also dabbled in some other side projects including lending his voice to a character in the movie, The Magic Roundabout.

He has also released a number of books, took a seat as an X Factor judge, has his own karaoke game and recorded a song for a Fifa Game.
