Oliver Tree's net worth has been thrust back into the spotlight after reports on Sunday said the American singer and filmmaker had died at 32 in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as authorities worked to identify the victims of a collision that killed six people. The crash has prompted confusion online because major outlets have reported Tree was on the passenger manifest, while forensic identification was still under way.
Tree built his name far from the polished machinery of traditional pop stardom. He emerged as a digital age performer with a deliberately awkward image, a heavy sense of theatre and a gift for hooks that travelled quickly across platforms. His best known songs include 'Life Goes On,' 'Alien Boy,' 'Hurt,' 'Cash Machine' and his collaboration with Robin Schulz, 'Miss You.' He also carved out a second identity as a director, shaping much of his own visual world rather than letting other people do it for him.
