Singing Sensation: Mariah Carey's Net Worth and Luxury Lifestyle
American pop singer, songwriter and actress Mariah Carey is known around the world for her incredible vocal range. She is famously referred to as "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records and her signature melismatic singing style and use of the whistle register are instantly recognizable.
Carey's rise to fame started in 1990 when she signed to Columbia Records. Here she released her eponymous debut album which would go on to top the US Billboard 200 for eleven weeks in a row.
Her Early Life
Mariah was born to parents Patricia and Alfred Roy Carey on March 27, 1970, in Huntington, New York. Her mother worked as an opera singer and vocal coach, and her father was an aeronautical engineer.
She excelled in music as early as elementary school and began training with her mother while at high school. Carey later moved to Manhattan, working as a waitress in the daytime and pursuing her singing career at night until her big breakthrough.
Carey's Staggering Net Worth
As one of the fifteen best selling musical artists in history, Mariah has a jaw-dropping estimated net worth of $520 million. Having sold over 200 million albums worldwide, she stands just behind Madonna as the second best selling female artist of all time.
Her biggest hit single, the hugely popular and well known "All I Want For Christmas", was released in 1994 and continues to bring in millions in royalties for the star every year.
Mariah's Luxury Pads
International singing sensation Mariah has a collection of luxury property that most could only dream of.
In 2018, Carey "downsized" her main residence to rent an extravagant mansion in Beverly Hills. Formerly owned by Nicki Minaj, and on the former of music legend Frank Sinatra's home, the Mediterranean style property costs her $35,000 a month. Before this, Mariah was renting a compound in the Coldwater Canyon area coming in at a whopping $100,000 a month.
Cars - Mariah Carey Style
Mariah is known for her extravagant and luxurious lifestyle and her car collection is no different. As well as a Rolls Royce Phantom priced at $429,000, Carey recently dropped almost half a million dollars on a 2017 Drophead Coupe.
Another notable addition to the star's impressive automotive line-up is her Maybach 62, coming in at $600,000 and a pretty in pink Porsche Cayenne priced at $100,000.
Incredible Vacations
It comes as no surprise that Mariah likes to splash the cash when it comes to most things in life, and luxury vacations are no exception. At the start of 2020, she jetted off to a lap of luxury in the Dominican Republic with her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka and her 8-year-old twins.
The 40,000 square foot Juanillo Estates, hidden away within a gated community in Cap Cana boasts a wraparound pool, 9 bedrooms, and a private beach and cost Carey $18,000 a night.
