Metallica is the richest metal band in the world, with an estimated collective net worth of between $900 million and $1.76 billion. The top 10 richest metal bands by estimated collective net worth are: Metallica ($900M–$1.76B), Mötley Crüe (~$250M), Ozzy Osbourne (~$220M, estate), Tool (~$200M), Iron Maiden (~$150M), Black Sabbath (~$140M), Slipknot (~$120M), Korn (~$120M), Judas Priest (~$100M), and Avenged Sevenfold (~$100M). Death metal bands rarely appear at the top of net worth rankings, as the genre reaches a smaller mainstream commercial audience than thrash or glam metal.
