The Canadian music legend is widely popular for his distinctive, "countertenor" falsetto, his resonant vocal and his unique singing style and ability to span nearly three octaves, from baritone through tenor, alto, and mezzo-soprano pitch ranges. It is his uniqueness and extensive talent that brought huge success to his band Rush, thanks to which the professional music maker has estimated net worth of around $28 million. And it is even believed that his net worth has reached $30 million in these past few years.

His passion for wine and music has indeed helped him in his career and finance.

The film maker and musician Sam Dunn also got a golden opportunity to see Lee’s collection during the filming of the Lee’s band Rush’s biopic Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Dunn was invited into Lee’s personal ‘bass room’ in the basement of his house in Toronto. Dunn, who is a bass player himself said, “Being a bass player myself, this was a pretty big highlight.

He added, “Lee has the history of the bass guitar on his walls.”
