The Frugal Foo Fighter

When the Foo Fighters' drummer quit in 1997 in the middle of working on the band's second album, founder Dave Grohl called Taylor Hawkins, who was then touring with Alanis Morissette, to ask if he knew anyone who'd be interested in filling the spot. Hawkins offered himself up and joined the Foo Fighters in the midst of their rise to prominence. Hawkins has since won 11 Grammy awards, worked on his own side projects and is reportedly worth around $20 million.
