Philip Glass Net Worth: $35 Million

Philip Glass, born in 1937 in Baltimore, Maryland, is a renowned American composer with a net worth of $35 million. He is recognized as one of the most influential creators of music of the late 20th century and is associated with musical minimalism. Glass is known for his unique style that heavily relies on repetition of small, distinctive rhythmic and melodic cells, and traditional diatonic harmonies.

He graduated from the University of Chicago at the age of 19 where he studied math and philosophy before pursuing music at the Juilliard School in New York City. Glass went on to become a prolific and widely respected composer, establishing the Philip Glass Ensemble in the early ’70s which became immensely popular both with fans of rock and the downtown classical scene.

Glass’ notable compositions include Einstein on the Beach, The Photographer, and Koyaanisqatsi. His monumental opera Einstein on the Beach, a collaboration with theatre director Robert Wilson, was staged in 1976 and was his first large-scale triumph, culminating with performances at the Metropolitan Opera House.

In addition to his work in classical music, Glass has also composed music for films. Three of his film scores have been nominated for Academy Awards. Franz Schubert is his favorite composer.
