Many fans are wondering about the net worth of Ozzy Osbourne in 2025 after he tragically passed away on July 22. The heavy metal rock legend died of a heart attack, according to a death certificate filed in London, and had been suffering for years from Parkinson’s and coronary artery disease. His estate will be inherited by Sharon Osbourne and their children, including Kelly and Jack Osbourne, but reports of financial issues and tax liens have been revealed that put Ozzy Osbourne’s fortune in jeopardy.
How much was Ozzy Osbourne worth when he passed away?
Ozzy Osbourne’s net worth in 2025 is estimated to be $337 million through his careers in both music and reality TV.
This number has been reported by financial magazine Finurah and Australian magazine Woman’s Day in August. This figure is significantly higher than the widely-cited $220 million that was reported around the time of his death.
One of the main concerns that Ozzy Osbourne’s family has is the nearly $8 million unpaid tax bill that is owed by the estate. The greater $5 million portion of the bill comes from two tax liens imposed by the US government: the first for $690,000 in 2023 and the second for nearly $4.3 million in 2024.
On top of that, the Black Sabbath singer famously had residences in two separate countries, including the mansion in Los Angeles that was featured on “Meet The Osbournes” and another home in Buckinghamshire, England. In addition, any estate in the United States valued over $14 million faces high federal estate taxes, while British inheritance tax laws can take up to 40 percent on amounts over £375,000.
An anonymous source speaking with Woman’s Day said that Ozzy Osbourne “was in serious debt towards the end when he was dying and it’s clear Ozzy was determined to work hard so he could get his family as much money as possible, which makes it so tragic…Now Sharon has to pick up the pieces and figure out what they have and settle accounts.”
One insider notes that while the net worth he accumulated is impressive, the estate had a lot of expenses that even the royalties he received couldn’t make up for. Sharon is reportedly worried that she and her children will lose their property in LA once the feds and other creditors are done coming after the estate.
