Ariana Grande: Net worth, career and luxury things she owns
Ariana Grande’s net worth
The American singer, songwriter and actress was named the highest-paid female music celebrity when she ranked 17th on the 2020 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ariana Grande’s net worth till April 2023 stands at USD 240 million. A long list of high-grossing studio albums, sold-out world tours, lucrative brand endorsements and a successful business venture adds to the soaring net worth of the “Into You” star.
Ariana Grande’s music career big break
Grande’s commercial musical success came at a time when she ended her Nickelodeon run where she reportedly pocketed USD 9,000 per episode of Victorious. And, Grande appeared in 57 of those episodes between 2010 and 2013. She also made around USD 7,500 from the show’s music and her total earnings from the shows reportedly stand at around USD 513,000.
Her debut album Yours Truly topped the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single track “The Way,” featuring the late Mac Miller, reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. A Republic Records release said the song peaked at No. 1 on iTunes within just eight hours of release, and the album sold 138,000 copies in its first week. While the revenue figure may not be clear, TMZ reports, her contract guaranteed she receives at least USD 50,000 for her first album.
Ariana Grande’s earnings from television
Even before her music, Ariana Grande had a successful television career. Besides Victorious, she starred in a season of Nickelodeon’s spinoff series Sam & Cat (2013-2014) and appeared in the first season of Scream Queens (2015).
The “Bang Bang” star was a coach in NBC’s The Voice, and it contributes significantly to plumping her net worth. Surpassing the other coaches, Ari reportedly pocketed somewhere around USD 20-25 million in the season.
She is also a beauty mogul
Ariana Grande forayed into the bustling industry of celebrity-owned beauty brands in 2021 with the launch of r.e.m beauty. It initially started as an online-only brand that immediately sold out lip gloss and eye-shadow shades. It went on to collaborate with Ultra and saw a rise in customer demand. Forbes mentions that the label garnered a revenue of USD 2.3 billion in the 2022 Q1 sales, a 21-per cent rise from the 2021 figures.
However, her tryst with entrepreneurship goes behind in 2015, when she collaborated with Luxe Brands and released a range of exotic and pretty sensuous perfumes. She entered the market with fragrances, such as mod vanilla, mod blush, cloud and sweet like candy, and has now garnered loyalists. In 2019, she won the Fragrance of the Year-Popular award for Cloud Eau De Parfum. Reportedly, the range of scents earned a worldwide revenue of over USD 150 million.
Lucrative brand deals
With such popularity and wealth, it comes as no surprise that she would be a part of a slew of luxury brand deals that boost Ariana Grande’s net worth. In 2017, she forged a one-year deal with sneaker giant Reebok and became its brand ambassador.
She followed it up by teaming up with coffee chain Starbucks for the launch of the Cloud Macchiato beverage in 2019. The same year, she also partnered with luxury fashion house Givenchy for their Fall/Winter campaign.
Her other lucrative brand endorsement deals include Coach, T-Mobile, MAC, Apple, Lipsy, Guess and Fortnite. Grande performed at a number of shows for Fortnite, and it would be safe to deduce that they added substantially to her fortune.
Expensive assets and luxury spends
With such a staggering net worth, it is natural for Ariana Grande to have a penchant for luxury homes. In 2018, she purchased a lavish NYC apartment for USD 16 million with her former fiancé Pete Davidson. It has five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms as well as an IMAX cinema theatre.
In 2020, she invested in two real estate purchases — a Hollywood Hills home for USD 13.7 million, which includes four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and a Montecito mansion for USD 6.75 million from Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi. However, she has reportedly sold both properties for USD 14 million and 9.1 million, respectively.
She lapped up a USD 8.9-million cottage in Hollywood Hills in 2021, which modestly features two bedrooms and bathrooms. However, the following year, she reportedly purchased another celebrity-owned pad, which apparently belonged to Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden. However, not much is known about it.
Cars
Grande has an impressive automobile resume and her garage comprises beasts like a Land Rover Range Rover Sport. It comes in two engine variations — while the 5-litre V8 costs around USD 79,995 and gives a 510 HP output, the 3-litre V8 costs around USD 63,495 and has a performance of 340 HP.
She also has a Mercedes Maybach S600, which has a price tag of around USD 185,950. The model is a rare find in the US and offers a twin-turbo V12 engine that produces an output of 523 HP. The interior also has spacious legroom with plush headrests, power controls and seats with built-in massage systems.
A USD 94,990 Tesla Model S in the pearl white shade is also a part of her garage. According to Tesla, the car has a dual-motor powertrain and reaches nearly 100 kmph in 3.1 seconds. With a 670 HP engine, it provides a top speed of 250 kmph. The car has a 43 cm touchscreen and a York steering that auto-selects the best direction for the driver.
Her luxury car collection includes a Cadillac Escalade, a Mercedes-AMG G 63 V8 Biturbo and a Mercedes-Benz E-Class as well.
Personal life
Among the celebrities Ariana Grande has dated, she garnered the most attention for her relationship with the late rapper Mac Miller. They started seeing each other in 2016 but called it quits two years later. Miller passed away in September 2018.
Towards the end of May 2018, news of her dating Pete Davidson was rife, and they even got engaged. However, the couple called it off after five months in the same year.
Shortly after, she started dating Social House member Mikey Foster in 2019, but things soon fizzled out. Then, she reportedly got betrothed to luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez in a quiet December 2020 engagement.
The singer shared images of her wedding with the caption “5.15.21.” and it was revealed that Ariana Grande’s husband is indeed Gomez.
