Kelly Clarkson Is About to Get Even Richer (2024)

Things Kelly Clarkson is casually up to right now: hosting her own television show that people can’t get enough of, collecting money from her many hit singles, and—ah, yes—designing an entire line of furniture that I may or may not have spent my last paycheck on. So yeah, she’s rich. Like, I could probably subsist on just 1/100th of her paycheck from The Voice alone.

So today, we’re breaking down Kelly’s ginormous net worth—including the money she has earned from her digital single sales, touring, and her real estate portfolio—plus how her fortune was impacted by her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.

^Me @ my student loans.

She Earns $14 Million per Season of The Voice

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kelly’s The Voice salary is $560,000 per episode or around $14 million per season. But how much has she earned total for the reality competition? That’d be around $53 million—not including this past year. I’m. Speechless.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly just reported that her total monthly salary for both The Voice and The Kelly Clarkson Show is $1.9 million—and a source says she’s renegotiating her talk-show contract and “wants a substantial increase.”

Kelly Clarkson’s Digital Single Sales Top $11 Million

In other words, a lot of people have been streaming “Miss Independent!” Celebrity Net Worth claims that between single/album sales and her Voice salary, Kelly has earned $100 million during her entire career—but keep in mind that this is before taxes!

Her 2019 Meaning of Life Tour Grossed $17.5 Million

Obviously, Kelly didn’t keep all that money, but still. Her talent is what filled seats, so let’s assume she got a pretty big chunk. Side note: If you have a spare hour and 34 minutes (it’s cool, same), feel free to watch one of her full tours below.

P.S. So far, Kelly has made a total career tour revenue of just about $60.5 million (and counting!).

She Launched a Home Collection

Kelly—as Wayfair’s first-ever celebrity brand ambassador, NBD—released her very own collection called Kelly Clarkson Home last year. It’s too soon to know how profitable the collection is, but it’s definitely chic.

She Has a Few Acting Credits

Though she's quoted as quite literally hating the experience of filming 2003's From Justin to Kelly—no, seriously, she legit admitted she “[talked] to many lawyers and could not get out of the movie”—the singer definitely collected $$$ from the movie. Also on her list of acting credits? Her roles on Phineas and Ferb, The Star, UglyDolls, and Trolls World Tour. Though there aren't any specifics on *exactly* how much money Kelly raked in for each gig, it's safe to say it's probably a pretty penny considering Trolls World Tour alone made close to $50 million.

She’s About to Earn Millions From Her Houses

According to The Blast, Kelly and her ex Brandon listed their Tennessee home in the months before their divorce filing, and they’re probably going to pocket around $6.95 million (a huge profit considering Kelly bought the home for just under $3 million in 2012). She also listed another home in Encino for almost $9 million. So, yeah…if her mansions sell, she could be looking at a $16 million payday.

So…What’s Up With Kelly’s Prenup?

Here’s the basic deal: According to The Blast, Kelly and Brandon did have a prenup, which they signed just five days before their marriage. But even so, it’s been reported by People that Kelly will have to pay her ex a “onetime payment of just over $1.3 million, as well as a monthly child support payment of $45,601.” But that's not all! She's *also* charged with an additional monthly spousal support payment. TL;DR: Kelly's paying roughly $115,000 a month to her ex, but only until Jan. 31, 2024.

What Is Kelly Clarkson’s Net Worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kelly Clarkson is sitting on a very casual and well-deserved $45 million. (Amazing!) But keep in mind that this could increase if she successfully renegotiates her talk-show salary!
