As the reality show Farmhouse Fixer star and a member of the popular boy band New Kids on the Block, Jonathan Knight’s net worth has been the subject of speculation. His multiple revenue streams and star status have left people wondering how much he is worth and where that money comes from.
Knight’s estimated net worth in 2024 is $14 million. This number combines his earnings from his time in New Kids on the Block and his recent role on several real estate-based television shows, like HGTV’s Farmhouse Fixer.
Knight first rose to prominence as one of five boy band New Kids on the Block members. The group consisted of Knight, his younger brother Jordan, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, and Danny Wood. All members were from Boston, Massachusetts, and the group began recording together in 1986. Their album, Hangin’ Tough, went eight times platinum, and Step by Step was certified triple-platinum, selling nearly 20 million copies worldwide.
Hits like “You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Step By Step,” and “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)” became instant classics. The group was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Long Form in 1990 for Hangin’ Tough, and won several other awards.
Knight chose to leave the group in 1994 after experiencing increased anxiety and panic attacks, and New Kids on the Block officially disbanded shortly after. They eventually agreed to reunite in 2008 and released the album The Block the same year. The first single from the album, Summertime, performed well, peaking at number nine in Canada and breaking the top thirty in the United States.
The band went on a world tour following the success of the comeback. They went on tour again in 2011 with fellow boy band The Backstreet Boys. The bands also released a joint compilation album with two new songs. On May 17, 2024, the group released their eighth studio album, Still Kids, and announced they would embark on the Magic Summer 2024 Tour with opening acts Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff starting in June 2024.
In addition to the success of New Kids on the Block, Knight developed a passion for real estate. After leaving the group in 1994, Knight became a real estate investor in Essex, Massachusetts. He lived outside the spotlight for some time but began dabbling in reality television in 2015 when he appeared on The Amazing Race with his partner, Harley Rodriguez.
Knight’s real estate career and passion for renovating historic farmhouses attracted the attention of HGTV, and his show, Farmhouse Fixer, debuted in March 2021. On the show, Knight renovates farmhouses in the New England area alongside interior designer Kristina Crestin. The third season of Farmhouse Fixer premiered on April 23, 2024.
Knight has built an impressive fortune between his music and real estate endeavors. His net worth will continue to rise as revenue from the current New Kids on the Block tour and his television show gains popularity. Knight has maintained his status as a celebrity while exploring new industries, ensuring his continued success.
