What is Matt Berman’s net worth?

No authoritative public disclosures exist for Matt Berman’s personal net worth. As an emerging musician and sideman—roles that typically yield session- and tour-based compensation rather than large royalties—any estimate would be speculative. Major music industry databases and biographical profiles do not report a verified figure, indicating that his net worth remains private.

As a saxophonist and vocalist, Berman has performed with Bobby Sanabria’s Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra and Charli Persip’s Supersound Big Band, and in 2012 joined Brandon Flowers of The Killers on The Desired Effect World Tour, appearing at venues including The Royal Albert Hall and ACL Festival.

His group Monroe released original albums and opened for acts like Justin Timberlake and Ingrid Michaelson, and he has been featured in Billboard for collaborations with Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle Records and CyHi the Prynce.

What is Matt Berman’s salary?

For NFL National Anthem performances, the league adheres to Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) “union scale” minimums rather than large appearance fees. The union scale for a single performance day typically amounts to approximately $1,000, with the NFL covering all related expenses, including travel, lodging, and production costs.

While this pay is modest relative to prime-time broadcast exposure, artists value the national platform more than the nominal stipend.
