    I'm sure he didn't do all that by himself....I think he has a keen business sense about him....with his best business decision being to surround himself with top business consultants & managers.

      He is/was a professor at Harvard? One of the ivy league schools. It's amazing to think that someone of his intelligence would dress up in snake platform boots and rock and roll all night. I wonder what Beth would say?

    I must say Im a huge fan of Gene Simmons. He has never done drugs, doesn't drink and seemed always focused on the core business behind the rock and roll band. He seemed to understand the facts, maybe not at the time about merchandising and created quite the Kiss Army! Happily Unmarried for how many years to Playboy Bunny! Wow!

    Quick Google search says his net worth is $50-$60 million bucks. He has over 2,500 licenses all making him money. Plus TV shows, royalties, and other businesses. So yea I would say he is a pretty smart businessman!

    He's a marketing genius. He literally has the KISS brand name on everything from baby diapers to coffins. KISS memorabilia is probably unmatched in pure volume.

    He's had half a dozen tv shows, has a magazine and if he's really bored he can always spend a weekend being a rock god.

    I'd say it doesnt suck to be Gene simmons
