Slipknot Net Worth

Paul Gray (#2) died in May of 2010 and Joey Jordison (#1) left the group in December of 2013, leaving seven remaining members. Early in their formation, the music scene in Des Moines was fairly non-existent in terms of notable acts and Slipknot’s big-time audition was usually met with disbelief and ridicule, which spawned the initial spark of its mostly anonymous stage visuals. Without a recording budget, the band had to self-finance their first project, the cost of which came to about $40,000 and distribution was pretty much left up to the band and their producer Sean McMahon. The band went on their first tour in 1999 when they were a part of Ozzfest, a tour which served to expand their fan base and Slipknot released a self-titled album in June of 1999.
