She can afford a lot more than seven rings.

Ariana Grande’s net worth can buy like, 7 zillion rings. (OK, maybe not zillion, but…)

In addition to being one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, Grande’s also a Broadway veteran, a movie and TV star and a mogul. Though she got her start on stage and screen, she admitted to Rolling Stone in 2014, “I hate acting! It’s fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me.”

Grande was at the top of the pop game in May 2017 when her entire world and life changed: A bombing at one of her concerts in Manchester, England, left 22 dead and more than 500 injured. She quickly helped put together a concert to benefit victims and survivors, raising $12 million, before temporarily going dark. Grande doesn’t like to speak about the attack, explaining to Time in 2018, “I don’t want to give it that much power, something so negative. It’s the absolute worst of humanity. That’s why I did my best to react the way I did. The last thing I would ever want is for my fans to see something like that happen and think it won.”

In addition to changing her life and her outlook forever, one tiny silver lining in the tragedy was that it inspired Grande to be more introspective, which was reflected in her work. She took a more driver’s-seat approach to songwriting, and her career flourished with hit after hit thanks to her creativity and newfound faith in herself.

“When you’re handed a challenge, instead of sitting there and complaining about it,” she said, “why not try to make something beautiful?”

Indeed she has. In addition to creating art that is closer to her than ever before, Grande has gone on to both make and shatter records with her music, become one of the highest-paid reality TV judges ever, and branded herself beyond belief. Find out Ariana Grande’s net worth and how she earned it, from Broadway to TV to music and beyond.

How did Ariana Grande become famous?

Grande was born and raised in Florida, where she got her start in local theater and singing at local sports games and events, as well as on cruise ships. In 2008, she started her career on Broadway when she was cast as Charlotte in the musical 13, for which she earned a National Youth Theatre Association Award. In 2009, she and 13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies were cast in Nickelodeon’s hit series Victorious, where she originated her role as Cat Valentine. During her tenure on the show, Grande frequently posted videos singing covers of hit songs, including tunes by Adele.

In 2011, Grande released her first single, “Put Your Hearts Up,” though she later took pains to distance herself from its saccharine teen-pop sound.

“It was geared toward kids and felt so inauthentic and fake,” she griped to Rolling Stone in 2014. “That was the worst moment of my life. For the video, they gave me a bad spray tan and put me in a princess dress and had me frolic around the street. The whole thing was straight out of hell. I still have nightmares about it, and I made them hide it on my Vevo page.”
