Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne’s combined net worth as metal’s greatest frontman passes on

Ozzy Osbourne, prince of darkness and metal’s most iconic frontman, passed away on July 22, 2025, after struggling with his health for the previous six years. 

Osbourne, who first achieved stardom as the vocalist of English metal band Black Sabbath in the early 1970s before launching a longstanding solo career, is survived by Sharon, his wife and manager of over 40 years, as well as his six children.

When 76-year-old Osbourne died, “he was with his family and surrounded by love,” according to a statement released by his immediate family. While an exact cause of death has not been released, the “Paranoid” vocalist had struggled with his health since early 2019, when he had to cancel a tour due to an extended bout of the flu that advanced to pneumonia. 

Shortly after this, Ozzy suffered serious injuries from a fall in his home and then received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative neurological ailment that affects motor function.

Just weeks before deboarding the crazy train for good, however, Ozzy blessed his legions of fans with one last live performance in his hometown of Birmingham, England. The concert saw Osbourne, seated in a skull-clad black throne, sing some of his biggest solo hits like “Crazy Train” before ending his set with four Black Sabbath classics alongside the rest of the Birmingham metal outfit’s original lineup — guitarist Tommi Iommi, bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler, and Drummer Bill Ward. 

Per usual, the show, dubbed “Back to the Beginning,” was booked by Ozzy’s wife and manager, Sharon.

42,000 metal fans attended Ozzy’s sonic sendoff in person, while an additional three million tuned in for the event’s online stream. Suffice it to say, Osbourne’s impact on his fans—and on the rock genre at large—is the stuff of legend, and the mumbling crooner who brought metal to the masses will not soon be forgotten.

Here’s a look at what Ozzy was worth at the time of his death, how much Sharon is worth now, and how the pair built and spent their wealth.

Ozzy’s career in music spanned almost half a century, and his legacy will no doubt continue to impact on the rock and metal genres for decades to come.

What was Ozzy Osbourne’s net worth at the time of his death?

At the time of his death in July 2025, Ozzy Osbourne’s net worth, which has long been combined with that of his wife, Sharon, was widely estimated to be $220 million.

In March of 2024, however, Cosmopolitan reported that Ozzy and Sharon’s combined wealth totalled $440—exactly double the current estimate. How the pair’s net worth could have halved in little over a year is unclear, casting doubt on the accuracy of both current and previous estimates.

What is Sharon Osbourne’s net worth in 2025?

This $220 million sum mentioned above, whether accurate or not, reportedly refers to the shared wealth of the late singer and his longtime wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne. After Ozzy’s death, Sharon’s net worth likely remains mostly unchanged, pending any payments that may result from expenses, bequests, or donations associated with the late singer’s passing.

Sharon had been Ozzy’s partner, confidant, and biggest supporter for more than 45 years. The two began a romantic and professional relationship in 1979, when Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath (reportedly by the band’s manager, who was also Sharon’s father) due to unreliability stemming from his substance abuse issues. 

Once Ozzy set out on his solo career, Sharon became his manager, and the two married in 1982.

20 years after the pair’s nuptials, the often-comical home life of the couple and two of their three children was immortalized in the MTV reality show, The Osbournes, which ran from 2002 to 2005. The show shone a playful light on Sharon’s loving role in Ozzy’s day-to-day life, cementing her stardom alongside her husband’s.

How did Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne make their money?

Unsurprisingly, much of the wealth Ozzy and Sharon have built over the course of their careers comes from music—album sales, tours, merchandising, licensing, events, and other aspects of Ozzy’s legendary musical empire have proved longstanding sources of income for the couple. But Sharon’s efforts outside of Ozzy’s musical career have also been quite lucrative.

In addition to managing Ozzy’s solo career (which spanned a remarkable 13 albums) since 1979, Sharon also orchestrated the launch of Ozzfest with her husband in 1996. The event brought together a number of bands spanning the hard rock, heavy metal, and punk genres, and its success led to it becoming a near-annual occurrence through 2018.

The festival reportedly sold over 5 million tickets and brought in over $100 million over the course of its tenure.

Sharon’s television career and earnings

Since her rise to public prominence with The Osbournes, Sharon has continued to appear on television regularly, and her business acumen, developed over decades working in the entertainment industry, has continued to serve the couple well financially.

According to Cosmo, each of the four family members featured in The Osbournes earned $5 million per season of the show beginning with season 2, which would amount to $60 million across three seasons, plus whatever the family earned for season one. 

According to a no-longer-published article in The Times UK, Sharon earned around $13.5 million for her role in the show.

From 2004 to 2007, Sharon served as a judge on the reality singing competition show “X Factor,” for which she earned £2 million per season, according to The Sun.

From 2010 to 2021, Sharon also cohosted The Talk, reportedly earning $1 million per season plus a severance of between $5 and $10 million for a total of $16 to $21 million.

Ozzy’s legacy & his family’s future

Despite Ozzy’s passing, his music remains as relevant as ever, and with the renewed spotlight his death has cast on his career, album and merchandise sales are likely to see a resurgence. His name and music will no doubt continue to be invoked in pop culture and media as they so often were during his life (his cameos in Ghostbusters and Little Nicky are among his fans’ favorites), providing additional royalties for his family.

As Ozzy’s enduring popularity continues to generate revenue, his widow Sharon and celebrity children Jack and Kelly, each of whom has their own successful career, will no doubt do their best to honor Ozzy’s impact as a husband, father, and rock-and-roll legend.
