Judging by his nickname, “The Killer,” it’s no wonder Jerry Lee Lewis has been described as “rock ‘n’ roll’s first great wild man.” If you’re into rock and roll, then you must already know Lewis as one of its pioneers. Lewis’ hit singles “Crazy Arms,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” brought rock and roll to the ears of millions who had never heard such music. Without Jerry Lee Lewis, there is no Elvis Presley, Guns N’ Roses, or Imagine Dragons!

While Lewis’s legacy will last forever, his career lasted a relatively short time. After hitting it big in 1956, he stopped charting in 1960. Despite his small window of fame, Jerry Lee Lewis still enjoys a net worth of $15 Million. So don’t feel too bad for him, he made history in the music world!
