George Michael Dolenz, Jr. was born on the 8th March 1945, in Los Angeles, California USA, and is a musician, who is probably still best known for being a singer and the drummer in the 1960s pop/rock band The Monkees. He is also recognized as an actor, appearing in a number of films and TV series such as “Peyton Place” (1965), “The Monkees” (1966-68), “Deadfall” (1993), and “Halloween” (2007). His career has been active since 1956.

Have you ever wondered how rich Micky Dolenz is, as of early 2016? According to sources, it is estimated that the overall size of Dolenz’s net worth is $7 million. He has been accumulating it through his career in the entertainment industry as a musician and actor now spanning almost 60 years.

Micky Dolenz Net Worth $7 Million

Micky Dolenz was born into a famous family, as his father George starred in the main role in the TV series “The Count Of Monte Cristo”, and his mother Janelle Johnson was an actress as well. Thus, Dolenz’s professional acting career began when he was only 10 years old, starring in the children’s show “Circus Boy” (1956-57). Simultaneously he attended Ulysses S. Grant High School in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, matriculating in 1962. Later, he enrolled at college in LA, but he quit education to further his acting and musical careers.

In 1964 he secured a role in TV series “Mr. Novak”, and a year later in “Peyton Place”. In 1966, he was selected as the drummer for the band The Monkees, the struggles and success of which were shown in the NBC`s TV series of the same name. The show aired for two seasons, becoming the main source of Micky`s net worth. During the show, The Monkees started a successful career, releasing nine albums before their disbandment. Their first self-titled release came out in 1966, topping the US charts, and eventually reaching five times platinum status. One after another, their albums topped the charts, “More Of The Monkees” (1966), “Headquarters” (1967), and “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd” (1967), also reaching platinum status, which only further increased Micky`s net worth. After these successes, their popularity started to decline, and after the 1970 album “Changes”, the band ceased to exist. They tried several reunions, and released two more albums, however, with no major success.

After The Monkees, Micky returned to full-time acting, landing roles in productions such as “The Night of the Strangler” (1972), “Keep Off My Grass!” (1975), “Linda Lovelace for President” (1975). However, he became more focused on voice acting, lending his voice to characters from such series as “Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels” (1977-1980), “Batman: The Animated Series” (1992), “The Tick” (1994-1995), “The Secret Files of the SpyDogs” (1998-1999) among others, all of which added to his net worth.
His last venture as an actor was in Rob Zombie`s “Halloween” from 2007, as Derek Allen, with Malcolm McDowell and Tyler Mane in lead roles.

Micky has also released two studio albums as a solo artist – “Micky Dolenz Puts You To Sleep” (1991), and “Broadway Micky” (1994), which also added to his net worth.
Speaking about his personal life, Micky Dolenz has been married to Donna Quinter since 2002. Previously he was married to Samantha Juste (1968-75) with whom he had a daughter – Smantha passed away in 2014.He was also married to Trina Dow (1977-91) – they have three daughters. In free time he enjoys motorcycling.

#Quote
1The best advice I've ever given or received, in or out of the entertainment business, is as follows: "Get a good lawyer."
2[on the death of fellow Monkee Davy Jones] The time we worked together and had together is something I'll never forget. He was the brother I never had and this leaves a gigantic hole in my heart.
3[when asked what he did when The Monkees first broke up] I think I slept for about two years!
#Fact
1Currently on tour with Elton John's "Aida". [April 2003]
2In UK on tour in Hairspray as Wilbur Turnblad [December 2010]
3Currently on Broadway with Elton John's "Aida" until September 2004 (began in January 2004) [May 2004]
4The new Morning drive radio host on New York Oldies Staion WCBS- FM 101.1. [January 2005]
5Father-in-law of Jerry Trimble.
6In early pre-production of Batman Forever (1995), when Tim Burton was still attached to direct, Dolenz was considered to play the Riddler. The Monkee Business Fanzine headed up a petition drive to support the choice, and reported Dolenz had a screen test before Burton left the project.
7He and Samantha Juste remain extremely close friends.
8The Monkees were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6675 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
9Owns and rides a 1967 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle.
10Born in the same hospital as Liza Minnelli, Natalie Cole, and Desi Arnaz Jr..
11He was released with all the other disc jockeys in June 2005 from New York City's WCBS-FM, due to a format change.
12The song "Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil in the '80s was about the only "Mickey" she knew--Dolenz. Toni choreographed The Monkees' movie Head (1968) and was in the movie dancing with Davy Jones in the Daddy's Song scene. She went on to appear in Easy Rider (1969) (which involved Jack Nicholson and Bert Schneider, who were a big part of "Head").
13He was the morning radio deejay on New York City's Oldies Station WCBS FM.
14Fared best of all The Monkees when it came to their royalty payments. While Peter Tork gave most of his money away, Davy Jones lost most of his in bad investments and Michael Nesmith spent his on family luxuries and artistic projects, Dolenz trusted his mother Janelle Johnson Dolenz to handle his money, which she invested carefully in "safe" stocks and holdings.
15Dolenz's hair was naturally wavy. On Circus Boy (1956), his hair was chemically straightened and dyed blond. During the first season of The Monkees (1966), he would straighten his hair by brushing it while damp until dry, and would wear a hair net in between takes. By the second season, he let his hair go natural, and shortly into the second season filming, when the group adopted a hippie look, had a permanent to get a curly "Afro" look.
16Played the drums using a left-handed setup (bass drum on the left, hi-hat and snare drum on the right) even though he is right-handed.
17Quit the re-formed The Monkees briefly at the end of the 1980s, citing problems with clashing egos and ideas, but returned for their next tour.
18After "The Point!" Dolenz found work in England producing television programs for the BBC (using The Monkees (1966) final episode, which he'd directed and co-written, as his demo reel). Aside from the occasional business or family trip back (and also a few celebrity tennis matches), Dolenz didn't return to the U.S. for the next 15 years.
19Renewed his friendship with singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson, who'd written for The Monkees, in the mid-1970s; Dolenz occasionally joined Nilsson and John Lennon in their legendary "nights out" (which sometimes lasted several days). Later Dolenz and Davy Jones appeared on the London stage in an adaptation of Nilsson's The Point (1971).
20Dolenz and first wife Samantha Juste became famous for their large, sometimes wild house parties with lots of celebrities attending; Dolenz' occasional excesses with alcohol and drugs (during his early '70s career slump) was a factor in their marriage breaking up, as she wanted their daughter Ami Dolenz to have a stable home life.
21Continued singing on records after The Monkees (1966) ended, with a series of singles contracts for labels like MGM; many of the records were made at his own home studio. While they usually found critical praise, none became hits. Dolenz also found work doing voiceovers for cartoons, like The Funky Phantom (1971) and Devlin (1974).
22Married Samantha Juste of Britain's Top of the Pops (1964) fame in the summer of 1968, after she became pregnant with their daughter Ami Dolenz. His stepfather, Dr. Robert Scott, a minister, conducted the ceremony at their Los Angeles home. Unlike Davy Jones, who had to keep his marriage a secret, he decided to share the news of his wedding with the public.
23Received his draft notice for the U.S. Army in 1967 (as did Davy Jones); despite medical grounds for deferment (trouble with Perthese disease since childhood left him with one leg shorter than the other), Dolenz was told, "Don't worry, we'll only make you fight on hillsides." He was eventually excused from military service for being underweight, when he went for his physical (Jones was also excused, as his family's only source of support).
24Enjoyed crafts, hobbies and building things - including a Gyrocopter (sold as a kit in the 1960s and 70s) in his living room, but had to have a wall torn out to take it outside.
25When chosen for the role of The Monkees' drummer, he signed up for daily drum lessons in order to fake playing them well enough for the cameras. When being able to actually play became crucial to the Monkees project, he had gotten to the point where he could carry off a stage show, but playing drums and holding tempo proved difficult in the recording studio. He played drums on every track of their "Headquarters" album, but gladly relinquished the role to studio drummers for their later albums.
26Grew up playing guitar; had taken some lessons at the suggestion of Circus Boy (1956)'s producers in the 1950s. In his teens, Dolenz played guitar and sang in a series of cover bands, with names like "Micky and the One-Nighters" and "The Missing Links" (!). One of these bands was signed to a record company and made some demos, which were released as singles (under his own name) after The Monkees became popular.
27Owned the third Moog Synthesizer ever commercially sold (the first two belonged to Wendy Carlos and Buck Owens); his performance on The Monkees song "Daily Nightly" (written by Michael Nesmith) was the first use of a synthesizer on a rock recording. He eventually sold his instrument to Bobby Sherman.
28Son of Janelle Johnson Dolenz and George Dolenz.
29Older brother of Coco Dolenz.
30Father, with Samantha Juste, of daughter Ami Dolenz.
31He appeared in the music video and sang in the choir on the song "Voices That Care."
32Member of The Monkees.
33Auditioned for the role of Fonzie on Happy Days (1974).
