Who’s the richest Backstreet Boy? Net worths, ranked – Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough have raked in millions – but who starred on RuPaul’s Drag Race?
- The American boy band was formed in 1993 in Florida and is loved by fans globally, including stars Drake and Ed Sheeran who performed I Want it That Way
- AJ McLean starred on RuPaul’s Drag Race as Poppy Love, while Kevin Richardson dabbles in modelling, working with brands like Versace and Tag Heuer
Backstreet’s back, all right!
It’s been nearly three decades since Backstreet Boys made its debut, but the legacy of the American 90s boy band strongly lives on.
Comprising five members – Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough – the group, which was formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993, evokes the very essence of nostalgia for many long-time fans.
Yet, unlike some artists who peak then drop off the radar, these boys – now men – have somehow stayed relevant today, selling over 65 million albums worldwide to date, per The New York Times.
From Drake performing “I Want it That Way” with the OGs on his tour – and reminiscing about how the song reminded him of his middle-school crush – to Ed Sheeran covering the same song in a recent performance in Ibiza, it’s safe to say their reputation is cemented in modern day pop culture too.
Sure, their glory days – of smash hits like “As Long As You Love Me” and “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” – may be over, but they’ve kept busy with new music and new ventures.
