MARIAH CAREY, NET WORTH—$300 MILLION

Given that Mariah Carey has been, to her credit, able to sell more than 200 million records throughout her career, it’s no surprise that the woman with the golden voice has a net worth of $300 million. Indeed, her record sales alone make her one of the best-selling artists in the history of music. She was even ranked as the second best-selling female artist of all time, second only to the inimitable Madonna.

Interestingly enough, Mariah’s oh-so-ubiquitous Christmas song All I Want for Christmas is one of only a few songs in the history of music that was able to go quintuple platinum. From the late 2000s until today, Mariah Carey has made large amounts of money from her performances in residencies. A combination of her residencies, tours, acting roles, and albums has given her a current estimated net worth of $300 million. The diva has also made some money in her appearances in various TV shows and also from her merchandise.
