Today, Saturday December 28, 2024, is the 46th birthday of singer-songwriter John Legend. An artist who started out as a backing performer for major names such as Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, Legend has since gone on to make history in the entertainment industry.

Legend an ‘EGOT’-winning musician

Legend is one of just 21 people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - a foursome of awards which, respectively, recognise outstanding achievement in the worlds of television, music, film and Broadway theater.

The Ohio native, whose real name is John Roger Stephens, became the first Black man to earn ‘EGOT’ status, and is the second youngest artist to have completed the coveted clean sweep.

Legend joined the ‘EGOT’ club in 2018, when he won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), for his show “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert”. In all, he has one Oscar, four Emmys, 12 Grammys and one Tony.

On top of his award-winning career as a musical performer, which has yielded 10 studio albums, as well as a number of lucrative concert tours and residences, Legend has branched out into producing and acting. What’s more, he has made a name for himself as a philanthropist and social activist.

What is John Legend’s net worth at 46 years old?
