Here's How Much Richie Sambora Is Actually Worth

The list of rock stars who are surprisingly poor is surprisingly long. From Billy Joel to Sly Stone to Elton John, quite a few superstar musicians seem to have a retirement plan that's little more than livin' on a prayer. However, the guitarist who cowrote the song from that allusion is in no way hurting for money. Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora cowrote some of the most popular songs of the '80s, '90s, and even well into the 21st century. Thanks to him, we can all join in singing together on some of our most beloved guilty pleasures — songs like "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Bad Medicine," "It's My Life," and so many other hits that make us wish we'd grown garishly oversized mullets.
