From humble beginnings in the working men’s clubs of South Wales to becoming a global superstar, he has amassed an astonishing net worth estimated at £260 million.
But just how did he amass such a fortune? Express Online takes a look at how this national treasure built his wealth.
Tom began his singing career at family gatherings and in his school choir, but it was his performances in the local pubs and clubs that truly marked the beginning of his journey to stardom.
By the early Sixties, he was performing under the stage name Tommy Scott with the Senators.
His big break came with the hit, It’s Not Unusual, in 1965, which catapulted him to international fame.
This was also the year he recorded the theme for the James Bond film Thunderball and first met Elvis Presley, marking the start of a significant era.
Throughout the years, Tom’s music career has seen massive commercial success. He has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
His album Reload, released in 1999, became the best-selling album of his career, topping the UK charts in 1999 and 2000.
Beyond his recordings, the crooner also made a fortune from his long-standing Las Vegas residencies, spanning from 1967 to 2012, and his popular variety show, This Is Tom Jones, which aired from 1969 to 1971 and netted him approximately £7 million during that period.
More recently, Tom is known for his role as a beloved judge on The Voice UK.
He joined the show in its second series and has been a staple ever since.
