Introduction

Katy Perry is an American professional singer, actress, and songwriter with an estimated net worth of $330 Million.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $512 million between 2011 and 2020
• Grossed over $330 million in revenue from concerts/tours
• Sold the rights to her music collection for $225 million in 2023
• Ranked 86th highest-paid celebrity in 2020, earning $38.5 million

Music Career

Katy Perry’s career began in 2001 with the release of her first gospel album. However, the album was not quite successful, so she eventually shifted from gospel to popular music. At 17, Perry traveled to Los Angeles and recorded a few songs with some music labels.

In 2005, the movie The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants included a song by Katy Perry. She was also featured in a music video for ‘Learn to Fly’. Perry’s big breakthrough came in 2007 when she finally signed a contract with Capitol Records.

Perry’s debut single, ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ was released in 2008 and was well-received by listeners. The song also topped the music charts in several countries and became viral. The same year, Perry was already engaged in the ‘Warped Tour,’ and the following year, she went on the ‘Hello Katy Tour.’

One year later, Perry named her new live music album ‘MTV Unplugged’, which included five singles from the album ‘One of the Boys’. Perry was also the duet singer alongside Timbaland in the song “If We Ever Meet Again.” Her single ‘California Gurls’ later topped the U.S Billboard Hot 100 list.

Perry made an autobiographical documentary titled ‘Katy Perry: Part of Me,’ which was a massive hit in the theatres in 2012. In 2013, she voiced a character in the animated film The Smurfs 2, a sequel to The Smurfs.

Music Catalog Sale

In May 2023, it was reported that Perry sold a significant portion of her music catalog to the Carlyle Group-backed company Litmus Music. When Forbes inquired about the deal’s price, the Carlyle Group declined to comment; however, it was estimated that the catalog was sold for approximately $225 million.

The sale includes the rights to Katy’s master recordings and the publishing rights to the five albums released through Capitol Records between 2008 and 2020, which include “One of the Boys,” “Teenage Dream,” “Prism,” “Witness,” and “Smile.”

Earnings History

Between 2011 and 2020, Katy Perry was consistently listed among the highest-paid singers in the world, typically earning between $33 million and $45 million annually. In the first four years of the decade, she earned between $39 million and $45 million per year. However, in 2015, Perry experienced one of the most lucrative years of her career, earning an estimated $135 million. This was thanks to the success of The Prismatic World Tour, which reportedly grossed $204 million from 151 shows. That same year, she also performed in the halftime show for Super Bowl XLIX, which had an immediate effect on album sales and streaming revenue following the performance.

In 2016 and 2017, her earnings returned to roughly the same level as before, with $41 million in 2016 and $33 million in 2017. However, 2018 was another impressive year for the singer, after negotiating a reported $25 million salary to feature as a judge on American Idol. She also commenced her Witness World Tour, which grossed approximately $124 million between 2017 and 2018.

Overall, between 2011 and 2020, Katy Perry earned an estimated $512 million from all endeavors. However, this doesn’t include her substantial earnings from the 2023 music catalog sale, for which she reportedly earned $225 million.

Real Estate

Hollywood Hills Compound

In April 2013, Perry purchased a 2.33-acre estate in the Hollywood Hills for $8.2 million. The six-bedroom, 7,418-square-foot Mediterranean-style home, built in 1954, includes a two-story guesthouse. At the same time, she also purchased the neighboring home for $3 million. 

In 2017, she listed the main property back on the market for $9.45 million. It was later relisted at $9.285 million in March 2018 and reduced to $8.95 million in June. According to public records, the house sold in February 2019 for $9.4 million. A month later, she sold the smaller home for $3.3 million.

Combining the two, Perry spent a total of $11.2 million on this compound and sold the properties for a combined $12.7 million. While that equates to $1.5 million in gross profit, she likely walked away with between $300,000 and $500,000 after agent fees and property taxes.

Beverly Hills Mansion

Perry’s most expensive real estate purchase came in May 2017, when she acquired a 5,427-square-foot, seven-bedroom home in Beverly Hills for $18 million. She listed the property for sale in March 2022, asking for $19.475 million. However, she eventually let it go for $18 million – her original purchase price. Since she paid over $1 million in property taxes during ownership, plus a further $900,000 – $1.5 million for listing and agent commission, Perry possibly lost at least $2 million on the investment.

Beverly Hills Guesthouse

In December 2018, Perry paid $7.45 million for a 4,410-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Beverly Hills. She initially attempted to sell this property in 2020 for $7.95 million but removed the listing. In May 2021, Perry sold the house for $7.575 million.

Montecito Mansion

In July 2020, Katy Perry agreed to purchase a 9,285-square-foot, eight-bedroom mansion in Montecito, California, for $15 million. Perry’s business manager, Bernie Gudvi, acting on her behalf, signed the contract, as did the seller. Several days later, the seller decided he no longer wanted to sell, and as a result, both parties filed lawsuits, leading to a three-year legal battle.

In late 2023, a judge ruled that the sales contract must be respected, allowing Perry to take ownership of the property finally. As things stand, she has paid $9 million of the agreed $15 million towards the property. However, the second phase of the trial will determine how much, if any, of the remaining $6 million needs to be paid, depending on damages awarded in Perry’s favor.

Highlights

Here are some of the best highlights of Katy Perry’s career:

• I Kissed A Girl (Song, 2008)

Introduction

Kendall Jenner is an American reality TV show star and supermodel with an estimated net worth of $60 Million.

Jenner initially gained recognition when she appeared in the famous reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show debuted on October 14, 2007, and has become one of the most popular shows in television history. She is signed by The Society Management in New York and Elite Model Management in Paris, Milan, and London.

Quick Facts

• Earns approximately $1.75 million per sponsored Instagram post
• Earned an estimated $58.5 million between 2015 and 2018
• Paid a $90,000 settlement figure for her involvement in promoting Fyre Festival

Instagram Earnings

Jenner’s Instagram following has grown significantly over the last decade. In 2014, she had just 16 million followers on the platform; today, that number sits at 289 million. As a result, the amount Kendall can charge for sponsored posts on Instagram has skyrocketed. 

According to reports, in 2015, Jenner charged an estimated $100,000 per Instagram post. In 2019, this number increased to $500,000 per post. As her followers grew into the hundreds of millions, the figure crossed the $1 million per post milestone. By 2022, she reportedly earned an estimated $1.29 million per post, and according to recent estimates, she is now able to command $1.75 million. Being the 11th most followed account on the platform has its perks.

Earnings History

Between 2015 and 2018, Kendall Jenner was consistently ranked among the world’s highest-paid models. Forbes listed Jenner as the 16th highest-paid model in 2015, earning an estimated $4 million for the year. This was primarily due to her contracts with Estee Lauder and Calvin Klein; however, the exact amount she earned from each individually is unknown. Her income was supplemented with brand endorsement deals for Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, and Marc Jacobs. 

However, her estimated earnings increased by 150% the following year, reaching $10 million. Forbes later stated in a separate article that she earned $17 million in 2016. Since the publication typically calculates earnings from June 2015 to June 2016, we assume the $10 million estimate was based on that period. 

In 2017, Jenner’s earnings jumped again to $22 million, with a similar figure of $22.5 million for 2018. This figure made her the highest-paid model for two consecutive years, thanks to leveraging her 80 million-plus Instagram followers (now 289 million). The most significant contributions to her income during this period came from high-value contracts with brands such as Adidas, Estee Lauder, and Calvin Klein.

Fyre Festival Lawsuit

In 2017, Kendall was paid approximately $275,000 to promote Billy McFarland‘s Fyre Festival on her social media accounts. The festival was to take place on an exotic private island, and much of the promotional material featured famous influencers partying on yachts. However, the festival resulted in a chaotic disaster, and the public was misled about the event’s accommodations and amenities. McFarland was sentenced to six years in federal prison for two counts of wire fraud and making false statements to a federal law enforcement agent.

In August 2019, Gregory Messer filed a lawsuit against Kendall Jenner in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Messer alleged that Jenner failed to disclose to her followers that she was paid for the promotion and intentionally misinformed the public. Kendall later agreed to pay a settlement of $90,000 for her involvement in promoting the Fyre Festival.

Introduction 

Kim Clijsters is a Belgian professional tennis player with an estimated net worth of $20 Million.

The tennis star once held the top ranking in both singles and doubles tennis. She is well known for her all-court defense, as well as her capacity to wear down her adversaries with speed and agility. She began winning tennis competitions at the age of 11 and became a skilled junior player, placing second in the 1998 Wimbledon Junior Championships.

She also ranked 11th in the year-end singles rankings while she and Jelena Doki shared the French Open championship that year.

Quick Facts

• Clijsters won the Masters in 2002, and a year later, she became the world’s No. 1-ranked player.

• Kim received the Humanitarian of the Year award from the WTA in 2006.

Before Wealth & Fame

Kim Antonie Lode Clijsters was born June 8, 1983, Bilzen, Belgium. She grew up with her younger sister, Elke, and her parents, Els Vandecaetsbeek and Lei Clijsters, also renowned athletes.

Els, her mother, was a Belgian national artistic gymnastics champion. Lei’s father, a defender, played professionally for several teams in Belgium’s top football division. He was a member of the KV Mechelen squad that won the UEFA Cup in 1988.

After her father won the 1988 Gouden Schoen, presented to the player of the year in the Belgian First Division, he built a clay tennis court. It was his gift to his daughter when she turned five.

Earlier that year, when her parents were away, Clijsters took tennis lessons with her cousins and uncle and began practicing the sport. She demonstrated great potential in her early years and won multiple junior competitions after working diligently.

Tennis Career 

Clijsters began playing tennis professionally in 1999, winning her maiden WTA title at the Fortis Championships in Luxembourg in September of that same year.

Kim finally defeated Martina Hingis in her fourth match against the top-ranked player in the world in the 2001 Indian Wells Open. She then made it to a Tier I final for the first time but lost to Serena Williams in the final in three sets after taking the first set. Clijsters continued to rank in the top 10 despite having a severe shoulder problem in the first half of 2002.

In 2003, Kim defeated Serena Williams in straight sets at the WTA Tour Championships in Los Angeles after defeating Venus Williams at the WTA Hamburg tournament in Germany.

Before her retirement in 2007, she participated in seven WTA finals, winning her third championship at Stanford and her second in Sydney. Clijsters declared her retirement following the 2007 season but returned to the US Open in 2009 and defeated Caroline Wozniacki to claim the title. Kim continued to compete, but she was selective about the competitions she entered. Consequently, she won five titles in 2010, including triumphs in Brisbane, Miami, and Cincinnati.

In 2011, Clijsters beat Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, finishing the match in straight sets 6-3 and 7-6. She also won the WTA Tour Championships and the US Open for the third time.

Golazo Sports, a Belgian corporation, was Clijsters’ agent. They arranged for her to wear FILA gear and play with Babolat Pure Drive racquets in the Pure Drive mode. Fila, Babolat, EY, Kim Clijsters Sport and Health Club, Inner Me, SOS Children’s Villages, and TEN4KIM are some of her current sponsors.

Prize Money

According to the WTP website, Kim Clijsters earned a total of $24.5 million in prize money during her career. However, upon researching the figures, we found only winnings amounting to $22.3 million. Thus, there are likely some figures that haven’t been publicly disclosed, presumably in the earlier years of her career.

Early Career Earnings

In 1999, the first year Clijsters began competing regularly, she earned approximately $122,074 in prize money. This figure increased to $336,100 in the following year, and by 2001, she was already earning seven figures annually, taking home $1.31 million. The most significant contributor to her earnings that year was her second-place finish at the French Open, earning her a reported $262,982.

Peak Career Earnings

Clijster’s annual winnings varied significantly from year to year during her professional tennis career. However, two periods could be considered her peak in terms of prize money.

The first period occurred between 2001 and 2003. We’ve already covered her earnings for 2001, but the following year she earned approximately $1.54 million. 2003 yielded the second-highest annual winnings of her career, totaling $4.09 million. Clijster’s biggest tournament winnings that year included:

• Bank of America WTA Tour Championships (1st) – $1 million
• US Open (2nd) – $455,492
• French Open (2nd) – $395,790
• Pacific Life Open (1st) – $332,000

The second period occurred between 2009 and 2011, earning $1.63 million in the former year and $2.32 million in the latter. However, most notably, in the middle year, 2010, Kim earned approximately $5.03 million, recording the highest-earning year of her career. Two tournaments, the US Open Grand Slam and the WTA Finals, produced roughly 72% of her winnings that year. She earned $2.16 million for winning the 2010 US Open and $1.45 million for winning the 2010 WTA Finals. Clijsters also won $700,000 for beating Venus Williams at the 2010 Miami Open, and $350,000 for beating Maria Sharapova at the 201 Cincinnati Open.

Estimated Net Worth

Kim Clijsters’ net worth is estimated to be $20 Million, comprising earnings from winnings and her various sponsorship deals. 

How Does Kim Clijsters Spend Her Money?

Clijsters owns a house in Wall Township, New Jersey, where she lives happily with her family. She also drives a modest Porsche Boxster. Kim dedicates a significant portion of her time to charity work, generously donating her time and money to worthy causes worldwide.

Clijsters has generously given to charity throughout her illustrious career. She founded TEN4KIM, a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to young tennis players. 

Personal Life

Clijsters wed former player and American basketball coach Brian Lynch when he was visiting her country.

Lynch was contracted to Villanova for his NCAA basketball career before deciding to play professionally in Europe. The two met while Lynch was a member of Clijsters’ hometown team, Euphony Bree, and first bonded over their love of bulldogs.

They started dating in 2005 and got married in 2007. They have three children: a daughter, Jada, born in 2008, and two sons, Jack, born in 2013, and Blake, born in 2016. The family alternates between their residences in Bree and New Jersey.

Clijsters has also played a massive role in helping the future stars of tennis succeed and follow in her footsteps. She has achieved this by being actively involved in various charities that support children.

However, she was careful about whom she associated with, and between her competition winnings and sponsorships, she amassed a sizable fortune.
