Jermaine Jackson has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Jermaine Jackson net worth page (figures as of May 15, 2026).

Jermaine Jackson is an American musician and one of the original members of the Jackson 5, the family group that turned his younger brother Michael into a global star. From 1964 to 1975 he was the group's second vocalist and bass player, and he can be heard on hits like I'll Be There and I Want You Back.

When most of his brothers left Motown Records for Epic Records in 1976, Jermaine stayed at Motown and launched a solo career. He had several top-30 hits and later produced and recorded duets with Whitney Houston on her debut album. He rejoined his brothers in 1983 in the group then called The Jacksons and performed with them until he left again in 2020.

How Jermaine Jackson made his money

Most of Jermaine Jackson's earnings came from music. As part of the Jackson 5, he shared in record sales and touring income during one of pop music's biggest runs. Group earnings, however, were split among several brothers and shaped by record contracts of the era, which often left artists with a small slice of what their songs made.

His solo years at Motown added royalties from his own records, and his producing work, including for Whitney Houston's first album and for the band Switch, brought in more. Touring with The Jacksons after 1983 created another steady stream of income for decades. He has also appeared on television, including his family's reality show.

Why his estimate is modest

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Jermaine Jackson's net worth at $1.5 million, on its page last updated in May 2026. That may seem low for a member of one of the most famous families in music. The estimate tries to account for what he has kept, not just what he has earned over a long career.

It is an outside estimate, not an official figure. His son Jaafar Jackson has since found fame of his own playing Michael Jackson in the film Michael. We will add any newer published estimate for Jermaine from a named outlet, with its source and date, to the chart above.

Jermaine has spent much of his later career performing the family's classic songs for fans around the world. Those hits still earn royalties today, and interest in the Jackson family's music has grown again with the release of the film Michael, which introduced the Jackson 5's story to a new generation of listeners and streamers.
