Celebrity Net Worth estimates Ariana Grande’s wealth at $220 million. Grande’s passion for theatre led her to Broadway before she broke into Hollywood and music. The “Positions” vocalist is a musician and entrepreneur continually working on a new project. She has become one of the decade’s most prominent (and well-paid) faces.
Grande started in community theatres and cruise ships. She auditioned for 13 at age 15. She played Charlotte and earned an NYTA award for her performance. It’s unknown how much she earned at 13, but it put her up for success.
After Broadway, Grande was hired as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon comedy Victorious. The program began in 2010 with 3.5 million people, launching her into teen-idol fame. T.M.Z. says she earned $9,000 for each episode in the first season. She also wrote music for the program, supposedly.

Grande started creating music while on Victorious and published her debut album, Yours Truly, in 2013. “The Way”, starring Mac Miller, achieved No. 1 on iTunes less than eight hours after its release, according to a 2013 Republic Records press release.
