Phil Collins has an estimated net worth of $350 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Phil Collins net worth page (figures as of October 12, 2026).
Phil Collins is an English singer, drummer, songwriter and record producer best known as the drummer and later lead vocalist of the rock band Genesis, and for his highly successful solo career. Between 1982 and 1990 he scored three UK and seven US number-one singles as a solo performer, and his work with Genesis and as a solo artist gave him more US top-40 singles than any other artist of the 1980s.
He began playing drums at the age of five, played the Artful Dodger in the West End production of Oliver! as a child, and joined Genesis in 1970. After Peter Gabriel left in 1975, Collins took over as lead singer. His solo albums include Face Value in 1981, Hello, I Must Be Going! in 1982, No Jacket Required in 1985 and …But Seriously in 1989, with hits such as "In the Air Tonight", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" and "Sussudio".
How Phil Collins makes his money
His fortune comes from two huge music careers. Genesis was a top-selling band for decades, and Collins sold millions of records as a solo artist too, so his catalog earns royalties from sales, radio and streaming. As a writer of many of his songs, he collects publishing income as well.
Touring brings in more. He returned for Genesis reunion tours in 2007 and again in 2021 and 2022, their final tours as a band, and arena and stadium tours for a group of that size are among the largest sources of income in music.
He has also worked outside rock. He formed the Phil Collins Big Band in 1996 and played with the jazz fusion band Brand X, and his songs are used in film and television, which earns licensing fees for years after release.
