The Mega-Earners of Hollywood (and What They Do to Deserve It)
Ariana Grande – $20-30 Million
From Nickelodeon starlet to pop music powerhouse, Ariana Grande’s 2019 reign as the highest-paid female musician wasn’t a fluke. That year, her powerhouse vocals and catchy tunes raked in a cool $72 million. But her salary magic doesn’t just come from hit albums like “Thank U, Next.” Ariana’s empire expands to sold-out world tours, lucrative brand deals (think Coach and Givenchy), and even a slice of a vegan pizza company.
It’s all thanks to her fierce talent, tireless work ethic, and a devoted fanbase. So, how much does this pop queen earn annually? Estimates range from a sweet $20 million to a staggering $30 million.
