The short answer · Estimate
About $6 million
Sid Wilson net worth is put at $6 million by Celebrity Net Worth, an estimate with no named working [1]. The best money evidence is about his band, not him: Slipknot’s catalog was reported sold for about $120 million [2], and one Madison Square Garden show grossed $1,206,284 [3]. Celebrity Net Worth’s own guess at his share of the catalog sale is $5 million to $7 million before tax, and it says that figure has not been publicly disclosed [1].
Confidence: low. The $6 million has one origin [1], and the band-level figures say nothing about how the money is split between the members [2].

How we estimate Sid Wilson’s net worth
We estimate it by setting the published figures side by side and asking where each came from. Only one page gives a net worth, and the other figures belong to the band.
| Source | What it says | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Celebrity Net Worth [1] | Net worth $6 million; payout from the catalog sale put at $5 million to $7 million before tax | Undated; read October 2026 |
| Blabbermouth, citing The Hollywood Reporter [2] | Slipknot catalog sale of about $120 million, a band-level figure | November 2025 |
| Pollstar Boxoffice [3] | Madison Square Garden show: 12,830 tickets and $1,206,284, a band-level gross | November 2024 |
Our method
One net worth, one origin. Celebrity Net Worth gives $6 million and says its figures are only estimates drawn from public data and tips [1]. We found no second page that gives a figure and shows its working, so we do not widen it into a range.
What the catalog sale tells us. Blabbermouth, citing The Hollywood Reporter, reports a sale of a stake in Slipknot’s archival catalog for about $120 million [2]. It is unclear whether every member took part, and only Shawn Crahan is named [2]. A band-level price is not a payment to one member.
The $5 million to $7 million guess. Celebrity Net Worth takes the $120 million, subtracts an estimated 15% to 20% in deductions, and arrives at a pool of $95 million to $100 million [1]. It then puts his pre-tax payout at $5 million to $7 million [1]. That is its own arithmetic, it does not show how the pool is divided, and it admits the figure has not been disclosed. We do not add it to the $6 million.
What a gross is. Pollstar’s report that one Madison Square Garden show sold 12,830 tickets for $1,206,284 [3] counts ticket revenue before the crew, production, promoter and every member are paid. It is not income to anyone in the band.
Pay is not published. Celebrity Net Worth quotes Corey Taylor saying on a podcast in October 2023 that the band is “paid pretty much commensurate with what we are worth” and must tour heavily to cover its costs [1]. No source gives Wilson’s share.
We update this page when a new deal, sale or filing moves the range; the “updated” date changes only then. The same method is used for all our net worth estimates; read how we research.
Where Sid Wilson’s money comes from
Sid Wilson’s money comes from Slipknot, its tours and catalog, and from solo and DJ work. He appears on all seven Slipknot albums from 1999 to 2022 [4]. For other rock and metal musicians, see Corey Taylor’s net worth and Bruce Dickinson’s net worth.
| Income stream | What is reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Slipknot recordings and publishing | Billboard’s estimate, relayed by Blabbermouth: about $15.5 million a year from recordings and $5.2 million from publishing for the band as a whole. His share is not published | [2] |
| Catalog sale | Reported sale of a stake in the archival catalog for about $120 million in November 2025. It is unclear whether all members sold | [2] |
| Touring | One Madison Square Garden show in August 2024 grossed $1,206,284 from 12,830 tickets. No tour total or personal pay is published | [3] |
| Solo and DJ work | SID (2011) and later albums; touring as DJ Starscream, signed to N2O Records. No sales or income published | [4] |
| Property | An 18-acre property in Indianola, Iowa, reported at $780,000 in December 2022 | [1] |
The band’s recording and publishing income is the best-documented money, at about $15.5 million and $5.2 million a year by Billboard’s estimate [2]. What is missing is the split between members, which is why every figure for Wilson himself traces back to one estimate site [1].
Reports in July and August 2026 said he had been removed from the band. Wikipedia notes that TMZ’s report was not confirmed by the band or Wilson, and that bandmate Jim Root answered, “Don’t believe everything you read” [4]. We treat the question as open, and it is not part of our estimate.
Slipknot’s money records, with the figure that was reported
Six dated records from 2022 to 2025 put numbers on Slipknot’s money, and none of them is Sid Wilson’s own pay [1][2][3]. They show the scale of the band’s business, which is the context for any estimate of one member.
| Date | Record | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| December 2022 | Wilson reportedly buys an 18-acre property in Indianola, Iowa | $780,000 [1] |
| October 2023 | Corey Taylor on band pay, as quoted by Celebrity Net Worth | No figure given [1] |
| August 2024 | Madison Square Garden show, sold out | 12,830 tickets, $1,206,284 [3] |
| November 2025 | Reported sale of a stake in the archival catalog | About $120 million [2] |
| November 2025 | Billboard’s yearly revenue estimate, recordings and publishing | $15.5 million and $5.2 million [2] |
| November 2025 | Celebrity Net Worth’s guess at his pre-tax share | $5 million to $7 million [1] |
The sale reportedly covers publishing and recording master royalties for the archival catalog but not future releases, and Warner Music Group, which acquired Roadrunner Records in 2007, controls the master recordings [2]. That limits what the band’s members could sell, which is one more reason the headline price is not a pool for them to share.
Blabbermouth names the buyer as HarbourView Equity Partners and says the deal was reported by The Hollywood Reporter, with quotes from Shawn Crahan and from HarbourView’s founder [2]. Neither quote mentions Wilson.

Property and assets reported
His only reported asset with a price is a property in Iowa, and the price comes from an estimate site.
| Asset | What is reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Indianola, Iowa property | Reportedly bought for $780,000 in December 2022: 18 acres with a 4,500-square-foot home built in 2002. We found no county record to check the price | [1] |
What could change the number
A disclosed split of the catalog sale would change this estimate more than anything else. Without it, the $5 million to $7 million guess does not say how the pool was divided [1].
His position in the band could also change the figure. The reports of 2026 are unconfirmed [4], and a departure would end touring income without removing catalog income. The sale itself covers only the archival catalog, not future releases [2]. We do not guess.
