Lars Ulrich Net Worth 2022: How Much Money Does American-Danish Musician Make Per Year?

Lars Ulrich Net Worth: One of the original members of the renowned heavy metal band “Metallica,” Lars Ulrich is an American-Danish musician. Even though Ulrich came from a well-known family of athletes and his father was a famous tennis player, he decided to pursue a career in music despite his father’s encouragement to take up tennis seriously when he was a little child.

At the age of 10, when his father took him to his first concert to see “Deep Purple” in person, he initially developed a love for metal music and drumming. Ulrich was so touched by the music that he soon acquired his first drum set and began a career in music.

He first had the opportunity to jam with other heavy metal musicians after moving to Los Angeles with his family. It was around this time that he met James Hetfield and together they formed the renowned heavy metal band “Metallica.”

He has been playing the drums for the band for more than 20 years and, in addition, runs his record label, “Music Company.” Ulrich was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the first time.

Lars Ulrich Early Life

Torben Ulrich, a tennis professional who encouraged his son to join the sport, gave birth to Lars Ulrich in Gentofte, Denmark. Saxophonist Dexter Gordon was his granddad. Ulrich almost psychologically readied himself to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a tennis player one day.

He took his father to a “Deep Purple” concert when he was ten years old and later purchased drum equipment for himself. Ulrich went to Los Angeles with his family when he was 16 years old. There he began pursuing his love of music and placed an advertisement in the newspaper stating that he was “seeking for metal musicians to jam with.”

Lars Ulrich’s Personal Life

Ulrich married Debbie Jones, an English woman he met while on one of his tours in 1988, and they went on to have two children. Ulrich has been married twice. Due to Ulrich’s constant commitments to Metallica, the marriage could only last for two years.

In 1997, he wed a second time to a doctor named Skylar Satenstein, but they later divorced. Miles and Layne are the couple’s two together-born children. Miles plays drums in the group “My Missing Half.”

Sebastian and Bryce Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen are the children he had with Danish actress Connie Nielsen during their relationship, which lasted from 2004 to 2012.

Lars Ulrich Career

James Hetfield contacted Ulrich after he posted an ad seeking metal musicians to jam with at the age of 16, and five months after that, Metallica was born. The group issued its debut album, Kill ‘Em All, in 1983.

The following year saw the release of the group’s second album, “Ride the Lightning,” which began to gain some underground acclaim. However, it wasn’t until their third album, “Master of Puppets,” which was released in 1986, that the group achieved mainstream success.

The band lost their bassist in an accident while touring for “Master of Puppets,” but they persisted in making music and released “…And Justice for All” in 1988, which demolished the Billboard Top 10.

Ulrich worked on music throughout the 1990s with his band, releasing albums like “Metallica (1991),” “Load (1996),” “Reload (1997),” and “Garage Inc.” These albums all helped Metallica become successful.

While still playing the drums for Metallica in the late 1990s, he established his record label, “Music Company,” and in the years that followed, he started to express his resentment toward file sharing, which led to the band suing “Napster.”

In between the release of “St. Anger” (2003) and “Death Magnet” (2008), Ulrich appeared in a cameo role alongside renowned English actor Russell Brand in the film “Get Him to Greek” (2008).
Ulrich appeared in the HBO film “Hemingway & Gellhorn” in 2012, the same year that “Mission to Lars” was also released. The documentary focused on the story of a disabled man who met Metallica.
