Over the years, Sharon Osbourne has become a household name. She was first introduced to us as the famous rocker, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife. In 2002, we got to see our first glimpse into the lives of a rockstar’s family when she and her family starred in MTV’s hit reality series, The Osbournes. 

Since that time, Sharon has branched out in the entertainment industry and has worked hard to create a name for herself and is no longer considered to be just Ozzy Osbourne’s wife.

Now that she has her own career and is a co-host for a popular daytime talk show, many people are wondering how much money Sharon Osbourne makes. So, what is Sharon Osbourne’s net worth? Does she make more money than her famous husband?

Sharon first got her start in the music industry when she started working for her father, Don Arden, who was a well-known music mogul and the manager of Black Sabbath. Because Ozzy was heavily involved in drugs and alcohol to the point where it was becoming destructive, Sharon’s father decided to fire him from the band.

Sharon was dating Ozzy at the time that he got fired and quickly decided to become his manager. She has been credited for making Ozzy Osbourne the iconic rocker that we all know so well today.

Sharon Osborn has always been a goal-driven person. And because of that, she became known as one of the most talented managers in the music industry. She went on to manage other musical groups, including Lita Ford, The Smashing Pumpkins and even managed her own daughter, Kelly’s, career.

Not only is she a talented manager, but she is also a smart and savvy concert producer. She is reportedly responsible for creating the highly popular music concert tour, Ozzfest.

With the hottest bands from around the world playing at this concert, Ozzfest has been known to bring in crowds of over 12,000 people and has grossed several million dollars.
