Bob Dylan’s net worth: Bob Dylan is an American singer, songwriter, artist and writer, with a net worth of $ 200 million. Robert Allen Zimmerman (also known as Bob Dylan) was born on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. Much of his most acclaimed work was during the 60s, although his works have spanned five decades. Several of Dylan’s early songs, such as Blowin ‘in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin’, became a hymn for the civil rights of the United States and anti-war movements. After The New York Times gave him a positive review of one of his performances in 1961, Dylan signed a recording contract with Columbia Records. Dylan‘s connection to the protest movements of the 1960s became more evident in 1963 with Dylan‘s relationship with Joan Baez, an established singer within the movement. Dylan continued to try out new styles and in 1965 he released Bringing It All Back Home, an acoustic, half electric style that showed a new side to Dylan, although his new styles were not always supported by his former fans, and in 1965, at the Festival Newport folkloric, he was booed while on stage. This did not dissuade Dylan. During the following three decades, he continued to reinvent himself, producing some of his most innovative works. Dylan also branched out in the movie and in 1973 he appeared in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. In 1979, Dylan declared himself as a born-again Christian, which inspired the song Slow Train. This song won Dylan his first Grammy award. In 1989, Bob Dylan was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and in 1997 he became the first rock star to receive the Kennedy Center Honors. Since then he has written and performed many songs, including film soundtracks. Dylan has been described as one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, both musically and culturally. He was included in Time 100: The most important people of the century, where he was called “master poet, caustic and intrepid social critic, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation”. In 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury awarded Bob Dylan a special mention for “its profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” In 2017, Bob received the Nobel prize for literature. He is the only singer / songwriter who won a Nobel Prize in Literature due to the poetry of his songs.
