English musician Michael John Cleote Crawford Rutherford has an estimated net worth of $45 million.
A founding member of the long-running art rock band Genesis, Mike Rutherford also made the occasional excursion into solo projects, most notably the pop combo Mike + the Mechanics. Born October 2, 1950, in Guildford, England, Rutherford formed Genesis while he was studying at an exclusive secondary school named Charterhouse. Beginning with their 1969 debut LP, From Genesis to Revelation, the group earned a devoted cult following for their richly complex, theatrical approach, reaching their creative peak with the 1974 double-album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.With the subsequent departure of frontman Peter Gabriel, however, Genesis installed drummer Phil Collins as lead vocalist, pursuing a more concise, pop-oriented direction that resulted in the mainstream chart success of records like 1980's And Then There Were Three and 1981's Abacab.
Rutherford currently lives in Surrey, England, with wife Angie. The couple were married on November 13, 1976 and has three children.
