What is Nick Hexum's Net Worth?

Nick Hexum is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper who has a net worth of $15 million. Nick Hexum is best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for 311 – the alternative rock famous for hits such as "Amber," which has appeared on the soundtracks of several motion pictures, including the American comedy dramas "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "50 First Dates."

Early Years

Nicholas Lofton Hexum was born on April 12, 1970 in Madison, Wisconsin – one of the three children born to Dr. Terry Hexum – a professor of pharmacology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center – and his wife Pat. Hexum also had a half-brother who died as a result of an opioid addiction.

Hexum attended West Side High School in Omaha, Nebraska, where he was a member of the school's concert jazz band. He also joined local bands outside of school, including The Extras, The Right Profile, and The Eds. At the age of 18, he relocated himself and his band, Unity, to Los Angeles, California. The band disintegrated soon after the move, and Hexum left the United States to settle in Germany. In 1989, he was contacted by Chad Sexton – one of Unity's former members – to ask if he would be interested in joining Sexton's band Fish Hippos. Hexum agreed.

From Cassette Tapes to Billboard Charts

Nick Hexum returned to Omaha to join Fish Hippos and during the band's next performance, it was announced they were changing their name to 311 – the police code for indecent exposure. The band included Hexum on vocals and guitar, Sexton on drums, Jim Watson on lead guitar, and Aaron Wills on Bass. Tim Mahoney soon replaced Watson, and, in 1992, Doug Martinez joined the band on turntable and vocals.

The band's first release was the 1989 EP "Downstairs." The album was recorded on cassettes in Hexum's basement and suffered from scratchy guitar sounds, high-pitched distortion, and unintentional grinding noises. The six-song release did not contain any cover art. In 1990, the band made 300 cassettes of their independent album "Dammit!" and, the following year, the independent release "Unity" was recorded on 1,000 compact discs and 500 cassettes which were sold at the shows they began playing at local clubs.

In summary, the total wealth of Nick Hexum reflects strategic moves.
