How Much Your Favorite Stars Are Really Worth

Aug 9 2015 - 10:00am

Big celebrities don't choose between fame, power, and money — it's all part of the package. Just ask Ariana Grande [1], Zac Efron [2], or Jennifer Lawrence [3]. These stars are still in their 20s, and yet their popularity and influence have already yielded massive results. Entire websites and publications are dedicated to the subject, providing the public with estimates about how much our favorite famous faces might be worth. Read on for the figures that sound more like lottery jackpots, and then study up on the stars with a look at their surprising real names [4] and best yearbook pictures [5].

Ed Sheeran, 24

The Brit's musical efforts are paying off in a big way. One prediction has Ed's worth at $16 million [6].

Rihanna, 27

With an estimated $120 million locked up [7], Rihanna [8] can afford to have someone hold her umbrella for the rest of her life. For 2014, she got eighth place on the Forbes Celebrity 100 [9], reportedly raking in $48 million.

Emma Watson, 25

Brains, beauty, and serious cash — Emma has it all. Working hard since her days as Hermione Granger, the actress has reportedly taken home $60 million over the years [10].

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 29

Mary-Kate and Ashley have traded adorable red carpet photo ops [11] for rare and sophisticated outings since the '90s. Even as the twins become more elusive, their estimated net worth is holding strong at $300 million [12].

Shailene Woodley, 23

The actress is notoriously frugal, so you might not be surprised to learn she may have upwards of $9 million locked up tight [13].

Jennifer Lawrence, 24

Winning an Oscar may have helped bulk up Jennifer's bank account by an extra $34 million in 2014 [14]. That would have have been a big addition to her estimated net worth of $40 million [15] — enough to cover years of pizza orders.

Lena Dunham, 29

Let's get real: when it comes to money, Lena and her Girls character Hannah Horvath are in different stratospheres. Hannah just can't compete with Lena's reported net worth of $12 million. According to Forbes, Lena earned $3.5 million in 2014 alone [16], catapulting her into the magazine's Celebrity 100.

Liam Hemsworth, 25

Liam's career has been taking off thanks to the Hunger Games — and those ridiculously hot looks [17]! Keep it up, Liam — your reported $16 million net worth [18] just might seem small someday.

Kristen Stewart, 25

Sure, Kristen might run errands in t-shirts and jeans, but with an estimated $70 million safe and sound [19], the actress could easily wear new couture every day.

One Direction, 21-23

The guys shouldn't sweat Zayn Malik's departure. After all, they reportedly earned $75 million in 2014, and 1D may already have $100 million in their treasure chest [20].

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, 29

The Big Bang Theory's blonde bombshell should only see her bank account grow. In 2014, Kaley and her main costars negotiated a $1 million paycheck for each episode [21]. According to Forbes, her 2014 earnings were a cool $11 million [22], and she reportedly already has $30 million to her name [23].

Zac Efron, 27

Perhaps no one appreciates the actor's hot looks and muscles more than Zac himself. His heartthrob status has been credited with helping him earn $18 million [24] since his start in High School Musical [25].

Lady Gaga, 29

Lady Gaga [26] shouldn't sweat her income drop from $90 million in 2011 [27] to $33 million in 2014. After all, she still has a reported $230 million in cold cash [28].

Daniel Radcliffe, 25

The boy picked to play Harry Potter [29] may now be a $110-million man [30].

Taylor Swift, 25

Grabbing a reported $64 million in 2014 alone [31], Taylor can easily outbid any of the famous men she's been romantically linked to. Her hard work already gave her an estimated net worth upwards of $200 million [32] by August 2014.

Kate Upton, 23

Kate earned a spot on Forbes's World's Most Powerful Celebrities list with her reported $7 million income [33] in 2014. By August of that year, she had raked in an estimated $16 million since becoming a modeling superstar [34].

Kylie Jenner, 17

The reality star reportedly has a respectful $5 million [35] — and she's not even 18 yet! She may have already started investing some of the dough in her new mansion [36].

Bruno Mars, 29

The singer has as much soul as he does cash. His outstanding earnings reportedly topped $60 million [37] in 2014, adding a big chunk to his estimated $70 million net worth [38].

Nick Jonas, 22

With a reported $18 million for a rainy day [39], Nick really doesn't have much to be jealous about.

Robert Pattinson, 29

Don't believe those rumors about Robert going broke [40]. His relaxed lifestyle probably couldn't have sucked up a reported $100 million net worth [41], which he largely earned thanks to Twilight [42] mania.

Adele, 27

Adele's ex was so bad, he inspired her album 21. She continues to have the last laugh, though — the hits helped her profit to the tune of $75 million [43].

Hilary Duff, 27

The singer and actress can afford to get picky about projects after her Disney days. Did you know the woman who gave us Lizzie McGuire reportedly has $25 million to her name [44]?

Selena Gomez, 22

The actress and singer never needed Justin Bieber's millions — she's standing strong on her own with an estimated net worth of $18 million [45].

Justin Bieber, 21

Justin's legal troubles weren't always a laughing matter, but with a bottom line of $80 million [46], the singer laughed his way to the bank in 2014. As a result, reports put his net worth at a whopping $200 million [47].

Miley Cyrus, 22

Factoring in what Miley reportedly earned in 2014 [48] — $36 million! — one estimation has her $165 million strong [49].

Sam Smith, 23

Sam's pipes have earned a lot more than trophies for his mantel. After rising to the top of the charts, the singer reportedly has $15 million to his name [50].

Drake, 28

The Canadian rapper has reportedly raked in 55 million George Washingtons [51] since kicking off his career as an actor on Degrassi.

Ariana Grande, 21

If Ariana continues scoring hit after hit, the singer's $16 million net worth [52] will soon be a drop in the bucket.

Kendall Jenner, 19

Her modeling career is just getting started, but her time on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and her family's endorsements [53] have reportedly raised her worth to $6 million [54].

Avicii, 25

Those Avicii songs you can't get out of your head have reportedly helped the producer and DJ make $60 million throughout his young career [55]. And he definitely has momentum — according to Forbes, Avicii made just less than half of that in 2014. That's what happens when you cash six-figure checks for spinning at nightclubs [56].
