Ariana Grande’s name in 2025 stands for more than just hit songs. The multi‑talented singer, actress, and entrepreneur has built an estimated net worth of around $230 million, according to multiple entertainment finance reports, and she continues to grow her empire with music, acting, and beauty ventures.
A journey from Nickelodeon to global stardom
Grande’s story began on Broadway in 2008, but her first big break came in 2009 when she was cast as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon’s Victorious. Over 57 episodes, her comedic timing and distinct voice caught fans’ attention. During her Nickelodeon years, Grande reportedly earned around $9,000 per episode, appearing in 57 episodes between 2010 and 2013, according to production reports. During this time she also uploaded song covers online, leading to a record deal.
Her debut single Put Your Hearts Up (2011) did not match her TV success, but her first album Yours Truly (2013) changed everything. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and included collaborations with artists like Big Sean and the late Mac Miller. In an early interview with Rolling Stone, Grande said, “Music has always been first and foremost with me,” describing how acting was her entry but singing was her true passion.
Music milestones and record-breaking tours
Ariana’s follow‑up album My Everything (2014) sold over 16 million units worldwide and featured hits with The Weeknd and Iggy Azalea. Her first world tour, The Honeymoon Tour, earned $41.8 million, and her next, The Dangerous Woman Tour (2017), grossed $71 million despite a tragic bombing in Manchester after one of the shows.
Grande organized the One Love Manchester benefit concert shortly after, raising over $21 million for victims and families.Albums like Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019) continued her dominance, breaking streaming records and winning awards. Thank U, Next generated over 307 million streams and set a Spotify record at the time, while her 2020 album Positions debuted at No. 1 and accumulated over 173 million streams.
Her Sweetener World Tour grossed $146 million and sold over 1.4 million tickets. Her latest release, Eternal Sunshine (2024), set a record on its release day with 58.1 million streams.
Stealing the spotlight in “Wicked”
Grande’s acting has seen a resurgence with her role as Glinda in the blockbuster film adaptation of Wicked. The film’s opening weekend grossed $214.3 million worldwide. A second installment of Wicked has already been filmed and is set for release on November 21, 2025, with Grande reprising her role as Glinda.
Composer Stephen Schwartz told The Los Angeles Times how Grande insisted on staying true to the character, saying, “I want to be Glinda, not Ariana Grande playing Glinda.” Critics praised her chemistry with co‑star Cynthia Erivo, and awards talk is already buzzing around her performance.
Beauty and business ventures
In 2021, Grande launched r.e.m. beauty, her own cosmetics brand, which generated $88.7 million in revenue by 2023. Her brand also received “Best New Brand” at the Allure Best of Beauty Awards in 2022, and in 2023 she personally purchased the brand’s physical assets for $15 million, securing its future.
Her fragrance line, starting with Ari by Ariana Grande in 2015 and expanding with bestsellers like Cloud and God Is a Woman, surpassed $1 billion in retail sales by 2022. She has also partnered with brands like Reebok, Starbucks, and Givenchy, further boosting her income.
Real estate and luxury lifestyle
Grande owns or has owned multimillion-dollar properties in New York, Los Angeles, Montecito, and London. Her New York penthouse designed by Zaha Hadid was valued at $16 million, while her Hollywood Hills home purchased in 2020 cost $13.7 million.
She also purchased a $9.1 million Montecito mansion from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi and rented a North London estate while filming Wicked, which placed her alongside celebrity neighbors like Ricky Gervais.
Her car collection includes a Mercedes Maybach S600, a Range Rover Sport, and a Tesla Model S, showcasing her love for luxury vehicles.
Her garage reportedly also includes a Cadillac Escalade and a Mercedes‑AMG G63 V8 Biturbo, further proving her taste for luxury.
A personal life in the spotlight
Grande’s personal life has often been as talked‑about as her career. She married real estate agent Dalton Gomez in May 2021 in Montecito. Their quiet ceremony became the most‑liked wedding photo on Instagram at the time. They later separated in 2023, with reports of an amicable settlement.
In past interviews, she has spoken about drawing inspiration from relationships — including those with Mac Miller and Pete Davidson — for songs like “Thank U, Next,” which topped charts worldwide.
In 2024, she stepped out publicly with actor Ethan Slater, her co‑star in Wicked. Both have kept the relationship low‑profile, though fans speculate her single Yes, And? references their romance.
A star who keeps rising
With 33 Guinness World Records, seven albums, blockbuster tours, a thriving beauty line, and now a hit movie, Ariana Grande has crafted a career that spans beyond music. As she once said in an interview with The Streaming Service while reflecting on her journey from Broadway to Hollywood,
“I’ve always believed in creating my own opportunities and staying true to myself.”
In 2025, Ariana Grande is not just a pop icon — she is a global brand, an actress with award‑worthy performances, and a businesswoman with a vision. Her $230 million net worth is only part of her story, and if her career so far is any indication, the best is yet to come.
