There are few celebrities whose fame spans as many decades as the legendaryTony Bennett.
(It’s hard not to use the word legendary when describing him, isn’t it?)
Like many great performers, he struggled through some of his career.
But his 1990’s comeback was one for the ages (viaAll Music).
According toCelebrity Net Worth, Bennett is worth $200 million.
This stems from Bennett’s belief in the power of a live performance (viaCheat Sheet).
The work celebrated the singer’s long career and love of music.
But that same year, the Bennett family was privately struggling with some sad news.
As revealed in a just-released profile of the singer byAARPmagazine,Tony Bennetthas been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Bennett, 94, remains active.
Benedetto explained to King why they decided to come out with the news now.
“And so he never wanted the audience to know if he had a problem.
And so it just seemed like now was the right time.”
She also revealed in the interview that he still recognizes her and his family.
He really is the symbol of hope for someone with a cognitive disorder."
