RE: Jimmy Buffett
Net Worth $1 Billion
Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett turned his classic 1977 song "Margaritaville" into the Margaritaville Holdings empire. He he died in September 2023 at age 76.
Buffett forged his tropical rock sound, combining folk, calypso, rock and pop to create a new genre, during a 1970s stay in Key West, Florida.
He launched the Margaritaville brand in 1985. It grew from selling trinkets and t-shirts to offering resorts, restaurants and housing.
By the time of his death, Margaritaville also spanned apparel, home decor, pool floats, pickleball sets as well as tequila and margarita mixes.
Buffett's fortune included 28% of Margaritaville, an estimated $570 million earned from tours and recording, a $50 million music catalog and $140 million in planes, homes and Berkshire Hathaway stock.

I'm sorry you're going through that. I'm a Cancer survivor also; as well as my wife & one of my daughters.
I had a very close friend from High School die of melanoma in early thirties.
Cancer is a insidious disease.

RE: Jimmy Buffett
RIP Jimmy. I never understood his popularity. There are 3, maybe 4 of his songs that I really liked. But that's just me.
I do know that he entertained millions of people and that they will miss him and his music.
