McLean’s parents parted ways when he was just two years old, and he was raised by his mother and grandmother. Acting became a refuge for him during his somewhat troubled childhood, and he had his first role at the age of eight in the horror film “Truth or Dare”. This debut opened many acting and singing opportunities for McLean, and eventually led his family to relocate to Orlando to support his pursuit of a career in entertainment. His early acting roles significantly contributed to his net worth.

However, McLean’s breakthrough came in 1993 with the founding of the Backstreet Boys band. Together with Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, and Nick Carter, McLean formed the group, which soon became an international sensation. The Backstreet Boys’ debut album in 1996 became one of the most successful debut albums of all time, selling over one million copies in Canada alone and being certified Diamond by Music Canada. The band’s third studio album “Millennium” released in 1999 sold over 11 million copies that year and eventually over 30 million copies. In addition to remarkable record sales, the album was nominated for five Grammy Awards, further adding to AJ’s net worth.

With such successful album releases, the fame of the Backstreet Boys spread rapidly around the world, making them an international success. The group has released seven studio albums, winning seven Grammy Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards, among others.

Aside from his contributions to the band’s success, McLean has also been involved in solo projects. In 2010, he released his first solo album, “Have It All”, and although it did not reach the same level of success as the Backstreet Boys’ releases, McLean has also pursued acting and made guest appearances in various television shows and films. Additionally, he collaborated with Finnish rapper Redrama in 2013 to release the single “Clouds”, which peaked at No. 4 in Finland. His most recent endeavor is the upcoming release of his second solo album titled “Naked”, along with the single “Live Together”, which was made available on iTunes in late 2015.

Outside of music, in July 2015, AJ launched Skulleeroz Vapor, a line of liquids for use with electronic cigarettes, although its success is still undetermined.

In his personal life, AJ McLean has been married to Rochelle Karidis since 2011, with whom he has a daughter. His past struggles with drug and alcohol addiction appear to be behind him.
