From Christian rock to queerbaiting pop and beyond, Katy Perry knows how to sell.

Katy Perry’s net worth in 2024 comes from more than a decade of pop stardom—and she may actually be making more money today even though she’s not selling many records anymore.

Sales-wise, Perry peaked with the record-shattering Teenage Dream, which debuted at No. 1 and sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. In 2011, Perry became only the second artist after the King of Pop Michael Jackson himself to have five No. 1 singles from a single album thanks to the success of Teenage Dream and its later edition, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.

Since she peaked so highly, it’s been hard to match that level of success: Prism sold 4 million copies and was bolstered by the success of “Roar,” then somewhat derailed by the cultural appropriation and alleged racism of follow-up singles and videos for “Dark Horse” and “This Is How We Do” and the antisemitic tropes in the “Birthday” video.

In 2017, Perry released Witness with lead single “Chained to the Rhythm” and claimed she wanted to usher in an era of “purposeful pop,” but unfortunately, it was more like a purposeful flop compared to her prior work, selling only 840,000 copies to date. (To be clear, that is a lot! But compared to Perry’s previous albums, it’s paltry.) It was also Perry’s first album that didn’t feature production by Dr. Luke, likely due to backlash from his legal battles with Kesha, who accused him of drugging and raping her. (Dr. Luke has steadfastly denied the allegations.)

Perry’s most recent album, Smile, dropped August 2020 after the birth of daughter, Daisy, with partner Orlando Bloom. It’s been Perry’s poorest album in terms of commercial sales, clocking in at about 87,000 globally.

That said, Perry’s music is still quite lucrative: She sold the rights to her catalog for $225 million in September 2023. Because she isn’t the sole songwriter on most of her tracks, it’s not entirely clear how much of a cut she’ll get to keep of that sum, but it’s safe to say she can buy a lot of Harleys in Hawaii with that kind of cash.

What is Katy Perry’s net worth in 2024?

Katy Perry’s net worth in 2024 is estimated at $400 million.

This obviously comes largely from the mega-sales in her musical peak and her tours through the years, but also from the extensive branding and endorsement deals she’s snagged throughout her career. She’s worked with Walmart, Cover Girl, Proactiv, H&M, Adidas, Claire’s, OPI and Pepsi, to name a few. She even joked at the 2013 Grammys that while she was never nominated for Best New Artist, she went on to have her own line of faux eyelashes—and her own fragrances and shoe line as well.
