Income from The Police

Every Police fan knows that their favorite band came to international prominence and sold multi-platinum albums with a legendary line up of Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers. However, the original guitarist Henry Padovani is almost always overlooked.

Albums, Fall Out, and Nothing Achieved was recorded by the band with Sting on lead vocals and bass guitar, Padovani on lead guitar, and Copeland taking care of the drums.

Nevertheless, Sting was dissatisfied with Padovani's abilities, which opened up a platform for Andy Summers. We speculate that Henry Padovani must have earned a commendable sum from his time in the band. Nevertheless, 'The Secret Police Man' was replaced in late 1977. It wasn't just all about him getting fired from the band. Even Padovani himself was seriously unhappy about playing side-by-side with someone whose skills outshone his own.

Income from the Flying Padovani

After Padovani's departure from the band, he didn't halt his music production. Instead, his tenures went on to achieve great success. In fact, he was picked up by a more successful band at that time named Wayne County & The Electric Chairs. This helped him sustain his fame in the challenging world of music production. Padovani's story gets more interesting after the Police. His restlessness was satiated when he formed a band named The Flying Padovani with Chris Musto on drums. Later, the band was joined by Paul Slack. They recorded a number of songs together, which received a considerable amount of success in a short period of time.

This significantly boosted Henry Padovani's net worth as well as popularity and confidence. Prior to this, the musically active star joined a series of bands before so that he could establish a good fortune and name in the music department.

IRS Record Label

Miles Copeland, brother of Stewart Copeland, asked Padovani to join IRS Records in 1984. He was given a chance to become the head of their international division. This became a major source of income for Henry.

The IRS record label released a multitude of noteworthy new groups including Doctor And The Medics, REM, The Cramps, The Bangles, The Go-Gos, Timbuk 3, The Alarm, The Fleshtones, Wall Of Voodoo, Stan Ridgway, Concrete Blonde, Lords of the New Church and many others. Holding such an important position in the label and earning his fair share from the sales, Henry Padovani's fortune must have spiked up a great deal.

Solo Career

Henry's solo career also added handsome cash to his bank account. He wrote about 30 songs in 2002; one was for the movie Ici Najac à Vous la Terre. He also went on to write songs for more movies after that.

Moreover, he started recording the album in 2004, À croire que c'était pour la vie, and recruited a large number of his friends for the completion of the project. The crew included Serge Veneruso, Yves Aouizeratte, Manu Katche on drums, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols on the bass, and Chris Musto from The Flying Padovanis doubling on the drums, and Steve Hunter (guitar). Henry even called Stewart Copeland to play drums on the song titled Welcome Home.

He also finished writing his autobiography in 2005. It was about his past and present music adventures, published under the title Secret Police Man. Henry Padovani also earned a good amount of cash from his role as of the judges for the France X factor show in the spring of 2011.
