Carrie Underwood’s Net Worth Is Massive, Thanks to Album Sales & Multi-Million Dollar Deals

It’s no secret that Carrie Underwood is at the top of her game. The 40-year-old mother of two has a best-selling lifestyle book, a successful fitness clothing line and eight Grammys under her belt. So, it's no wonder that when we found out her net worth—which is $140 million, BTW—we weren't totally surprised. Just think about how it's impossible to go to a karaoke bar without hearing someone belt out one of Underwood’s major hits, like “Before He Cheats” or “Last Name.” Her reach is so large that she’s currently the female artist with the most number-one entries (16) on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Forbes declared her the most successful American Idol winner in 2014.

With nine studio albums, five Guinness World Records and plenty of other records to her name, it's no wonder Carrie Underwood's net worth is so impressive. But how exactly did she earn her fortune? Get all the details below, from the money she's made on her albums and concert tours to the dough she's collected from clothing sales.

In 2014, the singer was rumored to be making at least $500,000 per gig (although the figure varied depending on ticket sales). According to Billboard, Underwood's Cry Pretty Tour 360 made a whopping $50 million (!!!).

Meanwhile, a ranking from Pollstar in 2013 reported that Underwood’s Blown Away Tour grossed around $26.5 million. Just this year, the singer wrapped her seventh headlining tour, the Denim and Rhinestones tour, which spanned 40+ cities.

On her official website, it states that Underwood “[continues] to sell out arena tours across North America and the U.K.”

Billboard reports that Underwood’s highest-grossing tour to date was the 2016 Storyteller Tour: Stories in the Round, which collected $58.1 million. In total, the outlet says that the American Idol alum has grossed $273.1 million from her concerts. Wow.

In partnership with DICK'S Sporting Goods, Underwood launched her fitness and lifestyle brand, CALIA by Carrie Underwood, in 2015. The clothing line, which offers items like leggings and athleisure wear, was named one of the top brands at the chain in 2016. Per Women’s Wear Daily, the line was also the  the retailer’s second most popular women’s brand at one point. Seven years later, we imagine that it's gotten even more successful.

However, we're not sure if Underwood is still receiving paychecks for the brand. In 2021, the singer-songwriter stepped away from the company, saying, “I am so proud of everything we’ve created and built, and look forward to seeing where CALIA goes from here! I’m excited about all the future has to bring,”

In March 2020, Underwood published her first book, Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life, which landed a spot on the New York Times bestseller list and reached number two on the How-to and Miscellaneous list. The book, which focuses on eating well and maintaining an active lifestyle, also reached number one on Amazon and on Publisher’s Weekly’s Bestseller List. Cha-Ching!

FYI: Underwood said she wrote the book while pregnant with her second child, Jacob, 4. Per People, the “All-American Girl” singer revealed, “I was pregnant, and I had the worst pregnancy insomnia, which actually ended up being a blessing because that’s when I wrote the majority of the book—the window from, like, 2 a.m. to 5 or 6.”

Aside from DICK'S Sporting Goods, Underwood has worked with brands like Target, Olay, Sketchers, Nintendo and Hershey's. The vocal powerhouse also teamed up with NBC’s Sunday Night Football and has been performing their theme song since 2013.
