The stage is ready for the Bucs and the Commanders to deliver the game to the fans. Maybe, the game of the season! But before that, Robin Zander would take the reins behind the mic… YES, the iconic frontman of Cheap Trick, will step onto the field at Raymond James Stadium to deliver the national anthem. A rock legend with hits like “I Want You to Want Me” and “Surrender,” Zander can literally rock and roll the house.

However, this won’t be Zander’s first anthem appearance for the Bucs. Fans might remember his performance on Christmas Eve 2023, when his stirring rendition set the tone for Tampa Bay’s crucial 30-12 win over the Jaguars—a victory that sealed their NFC South title. Now, he’s back, ready to fire up the crowd once again. Stakes are high, for this one Zander, the onus is on you to set the tone. But Tampa can trust the man with it. After all he’s also a local, having planted roots in Safety Harbor decades ago after meeting his wife in the area.

Who is Pamela Stein?

Let’s rewind to 1987—a year of big hair (yes, for Robin Zander too), bigger dreams, and Pamela Stein gracing the pages of Playboy as the November Playmate of the Month. Born in NYC, Pamela was already carving her name into the entertainment world. It was a blend of being a model, actress, and later, a skilled painter. But like, why are surprised? Didn’t you read the NYC hint? That’s what the city does to you.

So, how could this have kept Robin from not falling? Yeah, it didn’t. Fast forward a few years, and enter Zander as the dynamic lead vocalist of Cheap Trick. The two crossed paths through mutual friends in the music industry, and what started as a casual connection blossomed into a lot more. By 1993, the two tied the knot, and it was ‘I dos’ (and donts, too) exchanged.

They just did not want to catch breath. You know the couple who just can’t get enough of each other. Yeah, Pamela and Robin were the epitome. And voila, it saw them raise two musically gifted children—Robin Taylor Zander and Robin-Sailor Zander.

Before Pamela, Robin’s first marriage to Karen Zander brought him two more children, Ian and Holland. Now, nestled in Safety Harbor, Florida, Robin and Pamela are watching their kids chase after the dreams that cut them short. A household where rock ‘n’ roll and artistry are just another day at the office. So, cash flow? Expect a hefty sum of it.

What is Robin Zander’s net worth?

When we are talking about Robin Zander, it’s a rock legend who we are addressing. A bona fide music icon with a voice that can still fill stadiums and a guitar that’s seen more tours than most of us have seen touchdowns.

And now, it will literally set in the wildcard round vibes! With Cheap Trick, and these side gigs (showing his patriotic side in big leaguue games and more) we can expect Zander’s net worth in the range of a cool $25 – $30 million. I mean, “I Want You to Want Me” has been belted out at enough karaoke nights to pay for an NFL stadium’s worth of royalties, right?

Most of that fortune comes from his time with Cheap Trick. The tours, the albums, the timeless anthems—they all add up. And Zander’s also taken a few solo laps around the track, proving that his talent isn’t just tied to the band. Add it all together, and you won’t be second-guessing anything. But it’s also not just about the dollars. Zander knew what’s up, and that was: Belting his heart out into the mic. Well, he did it.
