Carrie Underwood | $140 Million

Carrie Underwood initially came to prominence as the winner of the fourth season of the reality competition in TV American Idol in 2005. Since then, the singer has become one of the music industry’s most prominent mainstream recording artists, setting and breaking records along the way throughout her decades-long career. Underwood’s 2005 album, Some Hearts, was bolstered by the huge success of her crossover singles Before He Cheats and Jesus, Take The Wheel. It became the fastest-selling debut country album in Nielsen SoundScan’s history, as well as the best-selling country album of the last 17 years.

For her success, Underwood’s net worth has grown to $140 million today—she will never need any credit cards for life. She has even earned tens of millions of dollars from endorsement deals with big companies like Sketchers, Target, Nintendo, Olay, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Hershey’s Almy.
