French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday has an estimated net worth of $275 million in 2013. Today, he is considered as the French Elvis Presley. Throughout his entire singing and acting career, Hallyday has been speaking in French. This probably leads him to remain unpopular outside of Quebec, Switzerland, Belgium, and France. In fact, he is referred to as  "the biggest rock star you've never heard of" in many English-speaking countries. Throughout his entire career as an artist, Hallyday has already completed 181 tours, sold over 110 million records, and had 18 platinum albums.

Johnny Hallyday was born as Jean-Philippe Smet on June 15, 1943 in Cité Malesherbes, Paris, France. After three unsuccessful marriages, he finally settled with Laeticia Boudou, to whom he remained married since 1992. He has four children, two of which were adopted.
