At the time that Jim Seals’ death was announced, reports of his net worth varied from $4 million (via We Publish News) to as much as $11 million (per TV Guide Time). Elsewhere, Net Worth Post pins his net worth at roughly $7 million. That financial success came in part from both the album and song “Summer Breeze,” which reached No. 1 on the charts, but also from as many as 6 million albums sold from their catalog, according to BestSelling Albums.
Their most successful album tonight was not “Summer Breeze” at all, but the soft rock duo’s 1975 compilation “Greatest Hits,” which moved 2 million copies alone, per BestSelling Albums. On the news of Jim Seals’ passing, John Ford Coley also said (via Facebook), “This is a hard one on so many levels as this is a musical era passing for me. And it will never pass this way again.” At the time of his death, Jim Seals was married to Ruby Jean Anderson, with whom he had three children: Joshua, Juliette, and Sutherland, as The Guardian reports.
