What Was Don Everly's Net Worth When He Died?

It has been more than fifty years since The Everly Brothers were at their critical and commercial peak, and in the intervening years, Don especially was known to have had a difficult life. According to his obituary in The Guardian, he was plagued by addiction and the trauma of familial estrangement, and Don allegedly had no idea that his brother had been ill when he found out about his death in 2014.

Despite this, Don was still an exceedingly wealthy performer when he died in August 2021, with Celebrity Net Worth estimating that he was still in possession of a personal fortune worth $20 million. Much of this is likely to derive from The Everly Brothers' first brush with fame, when they enjoyed the success of more than 30 hit singles that included top-charting songs in both the U.S. and U.K. According to the same source, the duo had already amassed more than $35 million as early as 1962.
