'I'm Not Just Wealthy, I’m Loaded'-Kid Rock
"I'm not just wealthy, I’m loaded," says the 43-year-old "Cowboy" singer. In a new interview with The Guardian, Kid Rock reveals being in the music industry has paid off big time.
"I can say that because I’m not embarrassed — I’ve made a f--k-ton of money, but I’ve never made a dishonest dollar. I try to do right by the people around me."
The singer-actor-record producer is worth an estimated $80 million. His hit 1998 album "Devil Without a Cause" sold over 13 million albums worldwide. Rock has sold over 27 million albums worldwide throughout his career, making him one of the most successful American musicians of the last 15 years."
So what does Rock spend his money on?
"I’m always buying more guns," he recently told The Guardian. "I have everything from a Civil War cannon to an MP5 machine gun and old police guns. If someone invades your house, yeah, you can shoot them. I don’t think crazy people should have guns."
Rock is also very vocal about his politics.
"I played in Barack Obama’s inauguration even though I didn’t vote for him. I didn’t agree with his policies, but there was an exciting sense of change in the air. That promise hasn’t been fulfilled – the country is more divided than ever."I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues. I am no fan of abortion, but it’s not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don’t look forward to marrying gay people, but I’m not opposed to it." But don't expect Rock to be expressing his views via social media. "I don’t FaceTweet or whatever people do. I understand that I’m the old guy now. I turn on my computer and look at porn a little bit, see what’s going on in the news, but that’s about it. I’m comfortable with that."
he told The Guardian.
