Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne left behind a $220M fortune after his passing at 76. As the world mourns the Prince of Darkness, questions swirl: who among his six children, Kelly, Jack, Aimee, Jessica, Louis, and Elliot, will inherit his iconic heavy metal empire?
The Black Sabbath frontman introduced much of his irreverent family to the world on the MTV reality show 'The Osbournes,' where they entertained viewers with their move into a new mansion in Beverly Hills. Ozzy and Sharon opened the doors to their home and introduced their kids, Jack and Kelly, who were 17 and 18 at the time, and occasionally their daughter Aimee, who was 19. But before marrying Sharon in 1982, the rocker was married to Thelma Riley from 1971 to 1982, and they had three children together: Elliot, Jessica, and Louis.
The Inheritance
Here’s a look at Ozzy Osbourne’s children—his heirs—and what they do. Over more than five decades in the spotlight, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman built an estimated fortune of $220 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His wealth comes from his successful run with Black Sabbath, his solo career, and the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes, for which he earned $20,000 per episode in the first season and up to $5 million in the second thanks to its massive popularity. Ozzy’s fortune will be divided among his wife, Sharon Osbourne—who played a key role in his career—and his children from both his first marriage to Thelma Riley and his union with Sharon.
Elliot Kingsley
He is the biological son of Ozzy Osbourne’s first wife, Thelma Riley, and was adopted by Ozzy as his own. Born in 1966, Elliot was five years old when his mother married the rock legend. Today, at 59, he is a well-known theater actor.
Jessica Starshine Osbourne
Jessica is Ozzy Osbourne’s first biological daughter, born during his marriage to Thelma Riley. NNot much is known about Jessica, as she maintained a somewhat distant relationship with her father—partly due to her lack of connection with Sharon, Ozzy’s second wife, and her younger half-siblings. IIn an episode of The Osbournes, Ozzy joyfully shares that his daughter Jessica had a baby girl, a moment that deeply moved him as he became a grandfather. Jessica works in the entertainment industry, primarily in the costume and makeup departments for various film and television projects. She also directed the short film titled Yellowville.
Louis John Osbourne
Born in 1975 during Ozzy’s marriage to Thelma Riley, Louis is now 50 years old. He worked as a DJ, performing in clubs throughout Ibiza and the United States. However, financial difficulties eventually forced Louis to declare bankruptcy. He has stepped away from the entertainment world and now lives in the UK. Louis married his wife, Louise, in 2003, and together they have two children.
Aimee Osbourne
Aimee is the oldest of the three children Ozzy had with Sharon, born on September 2, 1983. The absence of her name and face in family photos intrigued fans of The Osbournes. At just 16, she moved out of the family home, and by the time the show premiered, 19-year-old Aimee chose not to be part of the series, only making a few brief cameos. Now 41, she has followed in her father’s musical footsteps and is the lead singer of the band ARO.
Kelly Osbourne
Kelly is Ozzy Osbourne’s most well-known daughter. She rose to fame through The Osbournes and went on to build a career as a singer, TV host, and pop culture personality. Now 40, Kelly has been open about her struggles with addiction and became a mother in 2023 with her partner, Sid Wilson. Black Sabbath held their final concert in July.
Jack Osbourne
Born on November 8, 1985, Jack was one of the most recognizable faces on The Osbournes. After the show ended, he faced a difficult struggle with addiction, which he has spoken about publicly. Now 39, Jack built a career as a TV producer and host, with a particular focus on paranormal phenomena. He married Lisa Stelly and had three daughters with her. In the same year, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He now lives with his partner, Aree Gearhart, and they share a daughter together.
The Osbourne family’s combined wealth
Osbourne left behind an estimated net worth of $220 million, shared with his wife, Sharon, as per Celebrity Net Worth. Most of his fortune came from his long music career, first with Black Sabbath and then as a solo artist. He sold more than 175 million albums worldwide. In 1996, Ozzy and Sharon launched Ozzfest, a heavy metal festival that brought in over $100 million and drew huge crowds. Their MTV reality show The Osbournes brought in millions more, especially after Sharon negotiated a big raise in the second season.
They also made smart real estate moves, owning homes in Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Hancock Park that sold for more than $30 million combined. Ozzy earned even more from brand deals, a bestselling memoir, video games, and his partnership with Metal Casino. Estimates place the Osbourne family's combined wealth at $251 million, with Jack and Kelly contributing their own wealth. Sharon was a major force behind it all, managing Ozzy’s career and earning millions from her time on The Talk.
