- Jimmy Buffett was a singer/songwriter who grew to fame with his ’70s hits ‘Margaritaville’ and ‘Come Monday’
- The Key West resident was one of the world’s richest musicians, with a 2023 net worth of $1 billion
Jimmy Buffett died on September 1 at the age of 76. He is remembered by his wife, Jane Buffett (née Slagsvol), and their three children.
During his lifetime, the king of the Parrotheads was most proud of his role as dad. “I was always raised with noblesse oblige — to give back if you’re lucky enough — thanks to my parents,” the “Margaritaville” singer told Billboard in 2021. “I was taught not to hate in the segregated South. And I was taught to give back, and I’m trying to teach my children the same thing.”
Meet Jimmy’s three amazing adult children, below.
Savannah Buffett
Before Jimmy met his current wife, Jane, he was married to Margie Washichek from 1969 to 1971. After their divorce, Jimmy moved to Key West, where he met Jane, who was visiting for spring break from the University of South Carolina, per Billboard. The pair soon married and welcomed their first child together, daughter Savannah, on June 1, 1979.
“Savannah spent her childhood moving around, living in New York, Nashville, Malibu, Aspen, St. Barths and many tour buses, with a wanderlust emerging that has stayed with her to this day,” her personal website states.
She would go on to work in A&R in the Los Angeles music scene and “live with members of Maroon 5 and Phantom Planet acting as a ‘musical den mother’ of sorts,” per the website. Her love of music eventually led her to create a radio show called the Savannah Daydreamin’ Radio Hour, which airs on SiriusXM.
Sarah Delaney Buffett
Jimmy’s second daughter, Sarah, who goes by her paternal grandfather’s surname Delaney, was welcomed on April 1, 1992, in Nashville. She would go on to become a filmmaker, working as a director and producer on such projects as The Spring (2017), City of Angles (2016), and Up the Stairs (2018), per her IMDB. While she appears to maintain a low profile publicly, she does enjoy gushing over her family on her Instagram.
Cameron Buffett
Jimmy’s adopted son, Cameron, was born in 1994. While little is known about the young man, he does detail a bit about his life on his Instagram, where he gushes over his dog and his fitness routine. He also appears to be married and is over the moon about his wife.
