While most of us have no plenty of tears left to cry after looking at our bank accounts, Ariana Grande has a balance even higher than her ponytail...which, as we all know, is high AF. The two-time Cosmo cover star is flirty, thirty (two), thriving, and worth millions of dollars—and not just thanks to her music (though with her eternal sunshine tour coming up, more music money is sure to come pouring in soon).
She’s *also* enjoyed a lucrative career as a Nickelodeon actor, maintains a slew of impressive endorsement deals, and also has that whole Wicked thing (ever heard of it?). Not to mention, Ari officially has a foothold in the beauty industry with her well-loved fragrances and makeup line r.e.m beauty—a project that has only made her wallet fatter.
Here’s a breakdown of the celeb’s assets to make you equal parts jealous, impressed, and weepy.
She Made Bank on Nickelodeon’s Victorious
Of the 57 Victorious episodes that Ariana appeared in between 2010 and 2013, how many did you see? Well, TMZ got ahold of her contract, so we know the star made $9,000 per episode in the first season alone. She also pocketed about $7.5K for music used in the show, like this undeniable *bop* that I'm still streaming a decade later:
Assuming her salary stayed at $9K/episode (TBH, it would be sort of surprising if she never got a raise), our calculator tells us she made $513,000 from Victorious alone. That’s more than half a million dollars!
Ariana was also on a season of Sam & Cat as well as the first season of Scream Queens, although her income from those bad boys isn’t readily available for nosy peeps on the internet. Sad.
That! Said!!! The icon is officially back in her acting bag c/o her role as Glinda the Good Witch—and while there were rumors floating around that she earned $15 million for her roles in Wicked and Wicked: For Good (while her costar, Cynthia Erivo, only earned $1 million), Ari disputed those claims.
According to her, she and Cynthia earned equal pay...though what that equal pay was exactly has not been confirmed.
She Cashed a Nice Check From The Voice, Too
Ariana was a coach on season 21 of NBC’s The Voice and it was truly a moment in time. While it was definitely fun for viewers to watch, Ari undoubtedly had the best time because she was estimated to bring home up to $25 million from the show.
FYI, this is about $10 million more than what Kelly Clarkson (!!!!) got when she joined the judges’ panel. Casual!
Her Concert Sales Are the Opposite of Shabby
Ariana’s 2017 Dangerous Woman Tour spanned five continents and ended up grossing a casual $71 million in just seven months. Oh, and apparently, she was making “over $50,000 in merchandise every night” on top of that. Shoutout to all the people who waited in endlessly long lines to buy tees with bunny ears on them!
The singer’s 2015 Honeymoon Tour, for its part, made $40 million during an eight-month run—which, again, ain’t too shabby. But it’s her Sweetener World Tour that really made b-a-n-k. According to Billboard, it grossed $106.9 million in the U.S. alone, with a worldwide total of $243.5 million. 😱
Oh, and remember when she headlined Coachella in 2019? Not only did she make history by being the youngest person to ever headline the festival at 25 years old, but she also reportedly made $8 million off the gig, too.
I can only imagine how much money she’s going to make off ticket sales for her upcoming eternal sunshine tour.
She’s Made a $hit Ton on Her Singles
Hits like “Thank U, Next,” “Side to Side,” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” off her latest album, eternal sunshine, helped Ariana rake in bucketloads of money—specifically, 133 million digital singles units as a lead artist. In other words, more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes!
It’s fine! Totally not having a meltdown about my finances! No worries!
She Has Major Endorsement Deals
Like most celebrities, our girl Ari works with brands that pay her $$$ for her endorsements. Case in point? She was the face of a Givenchy campaign, a gig that presumably earned her some major coin.
Aside from that, she’s worked with other major brands, like Coach, Starbucks, T-Mobile, MAC, Reebok, and—most recently—Swarovski.
She’s a Beauty Maven
Ariana has walked in the illustrious footsteps of celebs like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton by releasing her own line of perfumes, which reportedly grossed $150 million in 2017, back when she just had three scents. Now, our girl has 15 (!!) fragrances *and* they have a cult following—aka Ari’s fifth fragrance Cloud sold every 11 seconds in 2021, according to The Zoe Report.
To top it all off, Ariana released a body care line during summer 2022 in tandem with her beloved fragrance God Is A Woman.
After success in the fragrance realm, Ari expanded her budding beauty empire with the makeup line r.e.m. beauty, which launched in November 2021.
She has since expanded into Ulta Beauty sooo...it seems safe to say things are going well.
So, What’s Ariana Grande’s Net Worth in 2025?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, that would be about $250 million, which is waaay up from the $180 million to her name in 2021. And while this hefty chunk of change might sound small compared to, say, Taylor Swift’s net worth, you gotta remember things like taxes, overhead, and the fact that Ariana herself takes home only a portion of what her music, merch, and products actually gross.
