Wes Borland, the iconic guitarist of the renowned rock band Limp Bizkit, has significantly influenced the music industry. As of 2023, his net worth stands at an impressive $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did he amass such wealth, and what factors contributed to his financial success? Let’s delve into the journey of this talented musician.
Born on February 7, 1975, in Richmond, Virginia, Wes Borland had a passion for music from a young age. While he initially aspired to be a drummer, circumstances led him to the guitar. His family’s move to Nashville, Tennessee, played a pivotal role in shaping his musical inclinations. Interestingly, his parents weren’t too keen on the loud noise of drums, which nudged him towards guitar lessons.

Borland’s relocation to Jacksonville, Florida, marked a significant turning point in his career. Here, he attended the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, honing his skills in sculpture and special effects. But music remained his primary love. His proficiency in jazz guitar grew, and by 18, he was ready to chase his dream of a full-time music career.
In 1994, a significant opportunity came knocking. Wes Borland joined Limp Bizkit, a decision that would change his career trajectory. The band’s relentless touring and dedication soon bore fruit with their first hit single. This success opened the doors to more tours and mainstream recognition. Borland’s unique guitar skills and stage presence were crucial in the band’s ascent to stardom.

Weezer is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Uproxx has been covering the rise of South Florida rapper $not for some time and really enjoying watching the 24-year-old spread his wings and come into his own. Recently, he received a big career bump from veteran nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, who invited him to join them on their upcoming Still Sucks Tour. However, the move apparently disappointed and upset one of the rap-rock band’s contemporary groups — also called Snot.
According to Consequence, Mikey Doling, Snot’s guitarist, posted a video in which he took Limp Bizkit’s frontman Fred Durst to task over the booking. “I wanted to say to Fred Durst, if you see this video, how dare you, man?” he said. “You were friends with Snot. Snot loved you, man. You came onstage with us and performed. [Late Snot singer] Lynn [Strait] went on stage with you in Boston. … We were friends. We shared drinks, stage, music [and] all that, and all these years later you take an artist named $not on tour with you? What the f**k is that, man? Bullshit. … And to that fake $not kid — [Doling gives the camera the middle finger] right there, brother. There’s only one f**king Snot. Get some.”
For his part, $not seemed more bemused than anything else, posting a tweet reacting to the headline as posted by XXL. “This actually ridiculous,” he wrote. “Old man mad about my name.”
For what it’s worth, the band named Snot hasn’t released a new album in 20 years. The group actually disbanded in the wake of Strait’s death in 1998, and Strait Up, the album that they released in 2000, had all its vocals recorded by the lead vocalists of associated bands like Incubus, Korn, Soulfly (incidentally, the subject of another confusing hip-hop crossover thanks to Rod Wave), and even, yes, Limp Bizkit. $not, however, is fresh off the release of his second studio album, Ethereal, and has a remarkably compatible vibe to both the original Snot and Limp Bizkit, so it isn’t like his addition to the tour doesn’t make sense.
