MARIAH CAREY—$320 MILLION

Singer, songwriter, producer, and occasional actress, Mariah Carey, who’s been referred to by some as a “Songbird Supreme” because of her hugely successful and illustrious decades-spanning career, is reportedly worth $320 million. Mariah Carey is one of the 15 best-selling music artists of all time and has sold 200 million albums worldwide so far. She is the second biggest selling female artist of all time, after Madonna. Her songs are number one on the US charts, surpassing any other female writer / producer.

At the time of writing, she has won five Grammys, 10 AMA and 15 Billboard Music Awards.If anything, we’re surprised it’s not more than that, considering she’s been in the industry for so long now, with as many chart-topping hits under her belt as the most iconic musicians in history. Carey has also been able to build a huge and diversified investment portfolio that’s now raking in millions of dollars per year, including real estate properties, endorsement deals, and a line of fragrances.
