All dollar values in US dollars

Deacon Frey: no reliable estimate

Deacon Frey, son of the band's co-founder Glenn Frey, joined the Eagles in 2017 to help carry on his father's legacy following his death the previous year. After stepping away in 2022 to pursue his own path, the singer and guitarist returned in 2023 for the aptly named Long Goodbye farewell tour, which is still ongoing.

As well as inheriting some serious musical talent, Deacon is also likely to have benefited from his father's estate. But no reliable details of any inheritance are public and no trustworthy estimate of his personal fortune exists.

Bernie Leadon: $10 million

One of the original members, multi-instrumentalist Bernie Leadon helped shape the Eagles' early country-rock sound, co-writing tracks including Witchy Woman and guiding the band through the formative years. But he left in 1975, ahead of its most lucrative period.

Unlike some of his former bandmates, Leadon didn't build a blockbuster solo career. Instead, he spent long stretches outside the spotlight before rejoining the Eagles in 2013 for the History of the Eagles tour, which later inspired a return to songwriting and solo material.

Randy Meisner: $15 million

Estimated to have been worth $15 million when he died in 2023, founding Eagle Randy Meisner was the soaring voice behind Take It to the Limit, one of the band's standout hits, though his typical role was as a backing singer and bassist. In a bizarre twist, Timothy B Schmit replaced him not once but twice: first in Poco and again in the Eagles after Meisner's 1977 departure.

The country-rock musician later pursued a successful career with Randy Meisner & the Silverados. And while he never rejoined the Eagles as a full-time member, he did reunite with the band for special appearances and later returned to Poco for the Legacy tour and album.

Timothy B Schmit: $25 million

After pulling off one of rock's strangest repeat performances, Timothy B Schmit sang lead on I Can't Tell You Why from 1979's The Long Run, the Eagles' last studio album before their acrimonious 1980 breakup.

Remaining with the band through the 1994 reunion and later tours, Schmit has also built a formidable solo career. And as well as contributing vocals to records by artists including Steely Dan and Richard Marx, the versatile performer has toured with Toto, Ringo Starr, and other world-class acts.

Vince Gill: $30 million

Country royalty met rock royalty when veteran Vince Gill joined the Eagles in 2017 following Glenn Frey's death. A bona fide country superstar, Gill has racked up countless hit singles, sold more than 25 million albums, and become one of the genre's most decorated artists, with an incredible 22 Grammys under his belt.

The awards magnet has also built a reputation as a sought-after collaborator, working with everyone from Dolly Parton and Bonnie Tyler to Kelly Clarkson.

Don Felder: $60 million

After joining the Eagles in 1974, lead guitarist and songwriter Don Felder helped steer the band toward a harder rock sound and co-wrote its signature song, Hotel California. His years with the group were often turbulent, including an infamous on-stage bust-up with Glenn Frey during a 1980 concert, which is widely seen as the trigger for the band's breakup.

Felder rejoined the Eagles for the 1994 reunion. But relations deteriorated again and he was fired from the band in 2001, sparking a high-profile legal dispute. Away from the Eagles, Felder has released solo records and collaborated with artists including Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross.

Joe Walsh: $75 million

Joe Walsh came on board in 1975 as a replacement for Bernie Leadon and quickly made his mark, contributing the riff behind Life in the Fast Lane and becoming an integral part of The Eagles' Hotel California heyday.

Unlike some of his bandmates, Walsh had already forged a flourishing solo career before joining the group, scoring hits including Rocky Mountain Way. He returned to it after the band's 1980 breakup, later balancing his solo work with Eagles reunions and collaborations with other accomplished artists.

Glenn Frey: $120 million

Glenn Frey had a fortune of $120 million at the time of his death in 2016, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Frey co-founded the Eagles and served as a driving creative force, co-writing and contributing vocals to many of the band's best-known songs.

During the 1980s and early 1990s hiatus, he struck out on his own, scoring era-defining hits including The Heat Is On and You Belong to the City, while also branching into acting with appearances in Miami Vice and Jerry Maguire. Frey later reunited with the Eagles for the 1994 reunion and remained central to the band until his final performances in 2015.

Don Henley: $250 million

Together with Glenn Frey, original Eagle Don Henley co-wrote and sang many of the band's biggest hits, including Hotel California, Desperado, and Life in the Fast Lane, helping turn the pair into one of rock's most successful and wealthiest songwriting partnerships.

The drummer and vocalist also enjoyed a massively successful solo career after the 1980 breakup, with hits like Dirty Laundry and The Boys of Summer, not to mention top-five duets with Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth. Following Frey's passing, Henley became the Eagles' sole remaining founding member.
