About Jimmy Buffett

The singer-songwriter turned his classic 1977 song "Margaritaville" into the Margaritaville Holdings empire; he holds a 28% stake worth an estimated $180 million.

Founded by Buffett in 1985, Margaritaville grew from selling trinkets and t-shirts to offering resorts, restaurants, housing and more.

The massive lifestyle brand also includes apparel, home decor, pool floats, pickleball sets as well as tequila and margarita mix.

During a 1970s stay in Key West, FL, Buffett forged his tropical rock sound, combining folk, calypso, rock and pop to create an indelibly new genre.

Buffett's assets include an estimated $570 million from touring and recording, his $50 million music catalog, and $140 million in planes, homes, and shares in Berkshire Hathaway.
