Katy Perry, an American singer, songwriter, and actress, is estimated to have a net worth of $330 million. She began her career as a Christian artist before reinventing herself as a pop sensation, gaining widespread fame in 2008 with hits like “I Kissed a Girl” and “California Gurls.”
Prior to that, she spent years recording under a different name. Her 2010 album “Teenage Dream” produced four number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of only nine albums to do so in the chart’s history.
Perry is also one of just two artists, along with Michael Jackson, to achieve five number-one singles from the same album, cementing her status as one of the top American musicians.
In 2011, Perry earned $44 million from tours, endorsements, merchandise, and album sales, followed by $45 million in 2012. Her business acumen has led to partnerships with brands like Proactiv, Adidas, and Ubisoft, in addition to launching her perfume line, Purr.
Perry has also made numerous television appearances. Born Katheryn Hudson on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California, she was previously in a long-term relationship with Travie McCoy and married actor Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012, with the divorce potentially costing her $22 million due to the absence of a prenuptial agreement.
