As lead singer of the Who, Daltrey is a rock music legend. During the 1960s and 1970s the band were one of the world’s top groups, with hits such as Won’t Get Fooled Again and Pinball Wizard. Roger Daltrey's fortune is valued at $65 million.

Pete Townshend, the other original member of the group, and Daltrey last toured in 2008 and 2009. The overseas income from repeated playing of Who tracks and the use of their songs in various television hit series, including CSI, have helped to boost the band’s earnings.
