12 richest pop divas of 2022 – net worths, ranked: from Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Celine Dion, to Mariah Carey, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Cher – but Rihanna is the only billionaire, thanks to Fenty
- Taylor Swift just released her Midnights album, which has broken Billboard and Spotify records already – but will Rihanna surpass her once her new album is out?
- Classic pop icons like Madonna, Cher, Celine Dion and Shania Twain also rank high on the list, while today’s ‘queens’ Beyoncé and J. Lo are doing well for themselves too
Taylor Swift just made history as the first artist to fill the entire top 10 rankings of Billboard’s Hot 100 music charts. It’s just one of the many milestones from her new album Midnights, which was released in October.
Swift’s successes are sure to boost her bank balance, which is currently estimated at about US$400 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. But despite this gigantic figure, the Spotify chart-topper doesn’t even come close to the world’s current richest female pop star.
So, can you guess who comes out on top as a billionaire? Based on Celebrity Net Worth calculations, here are the top 12 richest female pop stars in 2022 …
12. Mariah Carey, 52
Estimated net worth: US$340 million
Referred to as the “Songbird Supreme” by the Guinness World Records, Carey is celebrated for her melismatic vocal talents. She’s the second bestselling female artist of all-time, behind Madonna, and she makes US$600,000 a year alone through “All I Want For Christmas” royalties, per Celebrity Net Worth.
The New York-born bombshell has more No 1 songs than any other woman in US history and with five Grammys, 10 AMAs and 15 Billboard Music Awards, it’s no wonder she’s accumulated such a heavy stack of cash.
