Creed Bratton Net Worth $3 million
Creed Bratton grew up in a small town near the Yosemite National Park. His parents and grandparents were musicians, and he developed an interest in music at an early age, receiving his first guitar at 13, and becoming a professional musician in high school. He pursued a major in drama at the College of the Sequoias and Sacramento State College.
Creed’s first professional musical experience came in his twenties with the band called The Young Californians. During a trip to Europe, William Charles Schneider changed his name to Creed. Guitarist Warren Entner noticed Creed’s talent and invited him to form a band together. The Grass Roots was created in 1966, and quickly gained recognition, with hits like “Let’s Live for Today” and “Midnight Confessions”, leading to the band’s success in the rock music scene. The band’s record sales, reaching over 20 million copies worldwide, significantly expanded Creed’s wealth to millions of dollars.
However, in 1969, Creed Bratton had a dispute with the Dunhill record company over writing credits, and after a poor performance at the Filmore West in April, he was asked to leave the band.
He shifted his focus from music to acting for over thirty years and only released a solo album in 2001. In 2001 and 2002, he recorded three albums: “Chasing the Ball”, “The 80’s”, and “Coarsegold”. The albums did not receive positive critical reception as his work with The Grass Roots, but contributed to his net worth. In 2008, Creed released another album called “Creed Bratton”. His most recent releases include “Bounce Back” in 2010 and “Demo” in 2011.
During this time, Creed pursued his acting career and gained roles in movies such as “Heart Like A Wheel” (1983) and “Mask” (1985). In the 2000s, his career reached new heights when he became a cast member of the Emmy and SAG award-winning series “The Office” (2005-2013), adding substantial funds to his bank account. Additionally, he appeared in films and TV series like “Terri” (2011), “The Ghastly Love of Johnny X” (2012), “Band Of Robbers” (2015), and “Sound of Magic” (2015), all of which contributed to his net worth.
As for his personal life, Creed Bratton was married to Josephine Fitzpatrick from 1967 to 1974. His second wife is Claudia Anderson, and the couple has been together for over forty years. They reside in Los Angeles.
