For the first of the tripleheader, they’re rolling out one of Detroit’s own to electrify the break: Jack White. Which leads to our next big question: Is White getting paid for his halftime performance? That’s where the real conversation begins.

How much is Jack White’s salary and net worth?

According to reports, 50-year-old Jack White isn’t taking a paycheck for the Lions–Packers halftime show. But with a music career spanning more than three decades, he’s not exactly hurting for cash. A Detroit native, White and his then-wife, Meg White, formed The White Stripes back in 1997. The garage-rock duo went on to release six studio albums between 1999 and 2007, two of which went platinum, and they won six Grammys during that period.

After the White Stripes era, White shifted into a successful solo career and also teamed up with The Raconteurs, continuing to build on his already massive footprint in rock. In total, he now holds 12 Grammy Awards, a number that speaks for itself. So when you put all of that together, it’s no surprise that Jack White’s estimated net worth sits around $60 million, according to multiple media outlets. But he isn’t the only Detroit native connected to the halftime show.
