American rock bandLinkin Parkmay have left millions of fans heartbroken after announcing their indefinite hiatus back in 2017 following the unfortunate demise of their lead vocalist, but it has once again returned to bless fans’ ears with their soulful music. Though this time around, they have welcomed a new member in their league: Emily Armstrong, their exclusive lead vocalist.
A musician cum singer cum songwriter, Armstrongdoeshave a well-known name, but inevitably not as well known as the boyband. So far, not much has been known about the artist, except that she is a part of the trio rock bandDead Saraand channels some really exceptional vocals. That said, here’s all we know about the grunge singer – including her current respective net worth.
How Has Emily Armstrong’s Career as a Singer Fared So Far?
Emily Armstrong is the newest talent addition toLinkin Park, but her rock career goes way back. For one that started nearly two decades ago in 2005, the August 25, 2025, Los Angeles-born 38-year-old singer’s flourishing career has been comprised of high-energy performances with her dynamic vocal cords never ceasing to leave fans baffled.
That said, of course, she has also been nominated for multiple rock band awards and has fared a considerably successful career – both critically as well as commercially. According toThe Mirror US, the raised Scientologist Emily Marcia Armstrong’s current net worth stands at$1.5 million, amassed from the income garnered from album sales, streaming, live tours, etc.
Writing songs and playing the guitar since she was 11 and starting singing at 15, Armstrong dropped out of high school to pursue her musical dreams and finally found her footing in 2002 (seeThe Salt Lake Tribune). Then she met Siouxsie Medley and started writing songs together, resulting in their first studio recordingChanges, performed live by their bandDead Sarain 2005.

Soon gaining recognition for their hard rock, punk blues, grunge, and alternative rock-themed music, this band progressed to have Armstrong as its vocal lead and rhythm guitarist, Medley as lead guitarist and backing vocal singer, and Sean Friday as a drummer and backing vocal artist. They are best known for their single from 2012,Weatherman, from their titular debut album.
This was followed by the rockers performing alongside bands likeMuseandThe Offspringin 2014, with Armstrong’s throat-ripping vocals helping catapult the band to the rock limelight. As they continued to gain fame with Armstrong leading the band, they reportedly charged $500 to $700 per show in the United States, which contributed significantly to the band’s lead vocalist’s net worth.
While the revenue from the ticket sales of their live tours, shows, and performances in concerts and festivals across the U.S. and internationally were one thing, what further added to the band’s wealth was their merch and income from streaming platforms. This, of course, has playeda crucial role in Emily Armstrong‘s financial portfolio worth $1.5 million.
And now that she has replaced the former lead vocalist ofLinkin Park–Chester Bennington, who died by suicide in 2017 leading to the band’s hiatus until recently – Emily Armstrong’s net worth might as well be expected to go skyrocketing soon as the band returns with its upcoming eighth album,From Zero, set to bless metal, pop, and rock geeks by November 2024.
What isLinkin Park‘s Other Members’ Current Net Worth?
One of the best-selling bands of the 21st century and the world’s best-selling music artists, the members ofLinkin Parkhave led a truly successful career, having sold over 100 million records globally (viaRIAA). With 10 MTV Europe Music Awards, 4 MTV Video Music Awards, 2 Grammys, 6 American Music Awards, 3 World Music Awards, and 2 Billboard Music Awards to their name, the rock band’s performance has been nothing short of commendable.
With Emily Armstrong now on board to lead the fan-favorite music group as its lead vocalist, the band’s current lineup includes the vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and keyboardistMike Shinoda; the lead guitarist Brad Delson; the DJ cum turntablist Joe Hahn; the bassist Dave Farrell; and lastly, the newest addition besides Armstrong: Drummer Colin Brittain. So far, all of these members have amassed enough wealth to make their band worth millions.

According toCelebrity Net Worth, Shinoda, for one, has a net worth of $65 million, recorded from his career as a musician cum record producer cum artist. Not only is he a major contributor to the aggregate net worth of the band, but Shinoda is also credited for designing much of the band’s album artwork. Then there was his hop side projectFort Minorfrom 2004, and the label Machine Shop Records, which he is credited for co-founding.
Then there’s guitarist Delson, who is the second lead contributor to the rock band’s aggregate net worth and holds a net worth of nearly similar numbers as Shinoda: $45 million, as perCelebrity Net Worth. Being a founding member of the rock band himself, his income has been sourced from his successful career as a musician, A&R representative (for Machine Shop Records, which he co-owns with Shinoda), and record producer.
Next is musician, director, producer, and DJ Hahn, who also serves as the creative director forLinkin Parkand has a current net worth of $25 million (viaCelebrity Net Worth). As for Farrell:The Thingslisted the musician’s net worth at $5 million in 2023, citing his personal hiatus from the band from 1999 to 2000 as a possible reason behind such low numbers as he may have missed out on some lucrative deals, unlike the others.
The only one that remains is Colin Brittain, the drummer replacing Rob Bourdon after the 45-year-old musician declined the offer for the band’s reunion. But nothing is confirmed about Brittain’s net worth. Last but none the least:Linkin Park‘s own set of net worth figures – based on the earnings from the royalties, social media activity, and any licensing deals – have been valued between $33.86 million to $47.4 million (viaNet Worth Spot).

Aggregating all of these numbers, the entirety of this rock band might as well be valued somewhere between $175.36 million to $188.9 million, though the actual numbers may vary from this approximated figure. Nonetheless, considering the band’s past success and the tremendous reception of its return, all of this will soon becontributing significantly to Emily Armstrong‘s net worth, which might as well be expected to crash through the roofs soon.
Linkin Park’s next, From Zero, is slated for a August 11, 2025 release.
