When it comes to making music for weirdos and normies alike, few have reached across the aisle quite like Jack White.
Who else but an oddball like Jack could appeal to the strange and unusual while writing a song that is frequently used during sporting events?
We're looking at you, "Seven Nation Army."
Jack is so prolific and has been involved in so many projects that it's easy to forget that he originally started out as a duo in The White Stripes. The band consisted of Jack and his then-wife, Meg White, who everyone thought was maybe his sister.
People of a certain age definitely remember having that debate about their relationship. It's been over 25 years since The White Stripes were formed. Since that time, Jack has built an impressive net worth. Let's take a look.

At the age of 15, Jack became an upholstery apprentice for three years. During this time, he met Meg White, whose last name he took when the two married in 1996. His first paid job as a musician came in 1994 when Jack joined the Detroit band Goober & the Peas as their drummer.
When the band split up two years later, Jack returned to an earlier love: upholstery. He did that by day and played with other bands by night while Meg learned how to play the drums.
The White Stripes were formed in 1997 and the next year, signed to Italy Records. Five years and three albums later, the duo hit it big with their album "Elephant," which included hits like "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button."
They would go on to record six studio albums before breaking up in 2011.
Jack White started his own record label.
Jack founded two side projects, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, before The White Stripes called it quits. He recorded three albums, each with the two side bands.
In 2009, Jack took a big step with his record label Third Man Records when he set up a physical location in Nashville, Tenn. The label has put out a ton of great records for artists like the Drive-by Truckers and Alabama Shakes.
Never one to rest on his laurels, Jack White also has an impressive solo career and has dipped his toes into the film/television waters, though mostly in the soundtrack area. He also partnered with Fender to release a signature amp as well as a hot-rod Jack White TripleCaster Telecaster and a Jack White TripleSonic Acoustasonic guitar.
