Music Career

At the age of 27, Sharon’s father (who managed Black Sabbath) dismissed Ozzy Osbourne. Then, Sharon took over as Ozzy Osbourne’s manager and aided at the beginning of his solo career. First, she helped him locate a new band, and then she facilitated the making of his debut solo album, Blizzard of Ozz.

Over six million copies of the record have been sold worldwide. With Ozzy’s following album, Diary of a Madman, she took on a more hands-on role in overseeing the entire band. The band parted ways with two of its members after they grumbled about being paid so little for all their hard work.

When the band went on tour following the publication of Diary of a Madman, another contentious episode happened. Ozzy’s primary guitarist and creative force, Randy Rhoades, perished in a tragic aircraft crash.

Rhoades and the rest of the tour crew were high on drugs when they decided to fly a tiny plane as near to the tour bus as possible. Since Randy Rhoades favored a sober lifestyle and only got on the plane to snap photographs with his new camera, he was an unwitting victim of the chaos.

From that point on, Sharon Osbourne oversaw all aspects of Ozzy’s career as a manager. There was a lot of criticism around her management technique since she frequently fired members of the bands for mysterious reasons. Ozzy’s solo career was hugely successful, though; to date, he’s put out 12 albums under Sharon Osbourne’s supervision.

Following her success in gaining Ozzy’s attention, Sharon founded her own management firm, Sharon Osbourne Management, and began working with other bands. She runs the firm alone and is responsible for booking acts like The Smashing Pumpkins, Queen, and Motorhead. Her children Kelly and Jack have also followed in her footsteps and become successful musicians thanks to her guidance.

TV Career

Sharon was instrumental in Ozzy’s career as a musician, but she didn’t become well known until the premiere of their reality program, The Osbournes. Sharon became a household name after the premiere of her own MTV show in 2002.

It has been speculated that Sharon’s involvement in the discussions with MTV was part of a larger scheme to propel Ozzy Osbourne from the role of “cult figure” in the heavy metal scene into the mainstream limelight. Even while Sharon underwent treatment for cancer, the show continued to air until 2005. Both in the UK and the US, the show was a huge hit with viewers. It is reported that Sharon Osbourne made close to $12 million for her work on The Osbournes.

Sharon began hosting her own show in 2003, not long after the premiere of The Osbournes. Although there were some interesting and even shocking segments on The Sharon Osbourne Show, it was ultimately a failure. Her television program ended its run in 2004. When ITV offered her The Sharon Osbourne Program in 2006, she finally got her opportunity to host a discussion show. She reportedly made $2 million for her role in the show.

Sharon Osbourne is also well-known for her role as a judge and coach on X Factor, Britain’s version of the talent program. She first debuted in 2004 and stayed on the program until 2007, making many return appearances afterward.

In 2006, she was a part of the X Factor: Battle of the Stars spinoff. She began serving as a judge on America’s Got Talent in 2007 and remained in that capacity until the seventh season. With VH1’s Rock of Love: Charm School, she practically kept up the same role.

On the 2010 season of “The Celebrity Apprentice,” Sharon Osbourne finished in third place. In that same year, Sharon Osbourne joined The Talk, a talk program for women that mostly discusses parenthood and related topics. Plus, Osbourne has hosted an episode of Loose Women as a special guest.

Sharon Osbourne has done some acting, most notably in a cameo on Dr. Who and a recurrent voice acting part on Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

The Osbournes put up their $9.45 million Malibu beachfront property for sale at the same time they put their Hidden Hills mansion on the market. In April of 2012, they got just under $8 million for the sale of this house.

In 2014, O&S purchased a unit in the Sierra Towers complex in Los Angeles. It was the year 2021 that they finally made the move to the neighboring apartment. In sum, they dropped almost $6.3 million on the deal.
