zzy Osbourne's net worth has been revealed following his death at 76, with a staggering $US220 million ($A335 million) fortune left behind for his family. The Black Sabbath rocker died this week after a struggle with Parkinson's disease.

    Osbourne's wealth stems from his 50-year music career, which began in the early 1970s as the frontman of Black Sabbath. However, he was fired from the band in 1979 due to substance abuse issues.

He and his wife Sharon currently own a residence in Los Angeles, despite announcing plans to move back to the UK permanently.

    According to Celebrity Net Worth, Osbourne's net worth was $US220 million at the time of his death, with the majority of his wealth coming from his music career and reality TV shows.
