I wish young Allman well. Being the son of Cher and Gregg Allman had to be tough with the lives his parents have lived and both millionaires and very famous. It would have to be though to find your own identity and avoid the pitfalls of drugs and booze.
I know it doesn't seem like it to us fans of Gregg but according to what I just read on the net his mother Cher is more famous and richer than Gregg.
Good luck to Elijah.
According to Forbes, Cher is worth $360 million.
Gregg Allman $20 million at his death.
Eric Clapton is $450 million. Unbelievable.
BTW Dickey Betts was the wealthiest musician to have been in the Allman Brothers. Net worth in 2020 was $40 million. Butch said a couple of times that I read Dickey was the richest because he hogged the song writing after Eat A Peach.
Just read Elijah Blue has had drug and emotional problems off and on for years and he is 48. Cher filed suite in court to take over his monthly payment he receives from his late father's will ( Gregg Allman) as Cher says he will spend it on expensive drugs. But Elijah Blue and his X wife claim he has his life together now and kicked the drug habit. He and his mother reached an out of court settlement with details private.
The craziest and perhaps most outrageous net worth on Forbes is Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO it says has lost $64 BILLION of his net worth in 2025 but....get this...is still worth MORE THAN THE VALUE OF GENERAL MOTORS, FORD AND TOYOTA COMBINED!!!!!! at $360 billion, 400 million!!! How in hades did that young man become that wealthy? He and other mega billionaires should give away to charity anything over $50 billion or at least anything over $100 billion.
I remember when certain politicians were complaining and criticizing the Koch Brothers and their $40 billion each. Well I remember when Howard Hughes was the richest man in America at $3.6 billion. I thought that was a rich as anyone could get. Wrong!!!
Not judging Elijah Blue, but I often thank God that I didn't have a $hitload of expendable cash when I was between the ages of 18 and 40. I had a taste of just about everything but too much was always out of my budget. I knew several fortunate sons who were born with silver coke spoons up their noses who ain't here anymore. I could have easily been one of them.
To digress only slightly, the doctor to the "Friends" star who died in his swimming pool - why convict an enabler? There's no supply without demand. A lot of the celeb's have the aforementioned $hitload of cash and are surrounded by sometimes well-meaning people who want to hang with them. The younguns of the rich and famous never seem to hear "no" often enough.
Prayers for Elijah Blue and all others who are committing slow-speed suicide. First step to saving yourself is wanting to save yourself.
@rusty Good advice Rusty. Very good indeed.
Someone told me at a luncheon I attended today that the world's richest man I was mentioning up above is on some exotic drugs. That is what they heard on either CNN or MSNBC. But he said the specific drugs weren't mentioned.
His Space X company had a successful rocket launch just several hours ago. That must have been a trip to watch on the right chemicals.
X is his favorite letter. That is why he changed the name of Twitter to "X" when he bought it. That sounds like a man who trips.
Maybe that's the reason he now lives in a $50 thousand manufactured home near a launch pad in Arizona. And often just sleeps under his desk at Space X or Tesla. One former Tesla employee said he used to sleep on the roof of their office building in a tent. Far out man!
Sounds like drugs I suppose. God bless him.
If he put a band together no matter how bad they were they would be number one on the charts because he would buy 8 million copies of their new album and put them in orbit around the moon.
