Bernard attended Salford Grammar School, and after completing his studies, he worked at the animation studio Cosgrove Hall Films. He formed the band Joy Division in 1976, which became immensely popular and contributed significantly to the growth of his net worth. The band became one of the most influential bands of the time, and he played a key role as the band’s lead guitarist and keyboardist. He produced his first vocal in the song “They Walked In Line”. Unfortunately, in 1980, the band’s lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide, leading to the end of Joy Division. Subsequently, the remaining members initiated a new band called New Order, joined by keyboardist Gillian Gilbert. Bernard became the permanent singer of the band, while also continuing to play his instruments. The band has released a total of 10 studio albums.

Sumner initiated other projects including Electronic, collaborating with Johnny Marr and Neil Tennant for an album. He also formed the band Bad Lieutenant by bringing together members of several bands including New Order. In 2009, they released the single “Sink or Swim”, eventually leading to the band’s first album “Never Cry Another Tear”. The band remained active until the 2011 reformation of New Order, following which Bad Lieutenant went on hiatus.

Bernard has also collaborated with other artists over the years, including co-producing the single “The Great Divide” by the band Foreign Press. He has worked on various tracks with Sub Sub and 808 State and also contributed to the album “Surrender” by The Chemical Brothers, while appearing on stage as a special guest during the promotion of the tracks featuring him. He’s produced several remixes too, including “Rockin’ Over the Beat” and “Freaky Dancin’”. These opportunities have significantly contributed to the growth of his net worth.
