MARIAH CAREY – $320 MILLION

Well-known for her melismatic singing style, the signature use of the whistle register, and her five-octave vocal range, Mariah Carey is without a doubt the “Songbird Supreme.” She isn’t just a singer-songwriter, but she is also an actress, record producer, and one of the foremost divas of her generation, who has a total net worth of $320 million. She first rose to prominence when she released her eponymous debut album under Columbia Records executive’s guidance, Tommy Mottola, who married her a few years later.

She was given credit as the second best-selling female artist of all time with a total of more than 200 million records sold worldwide, and her Christmas song All I Want for Christmas is only one of the few songs in music history that achieved quintuple platinum. She made most of her net worth from her performances in residencies, acting roles, tours, and album sales.
