Career

Singer and Songwriter Christina Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, actress and television personality. She was signed to RCA Records after recording Reflection, her self-written debut single which topped worldwide charts in 1999. Her album, simply titled Christina Aguilera (2000), debuted at number one on Billboard 200 and garnered her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 2000. After releasing four studio albums – including Stripped (2002) which spawned three number one singles and two multi-platinum singles – as well as two greatest hits compilations, she appeared on The Voice as a coach for several seasons in 2010 until 2017.

Income Sources

Aguilera has taken home millions of dollars through her music, acting and endorsements over the years. She is one of a few musicians to land a contract with huge brands like L’Oreal and Gap. Her music career, both with her group The Stunners and on her own, has generated close to $50 million in income since 2000. She also added another $10 million from acting gigs during that time period. In 2013 she was in two movies, including one that came out after we conducted our last net worth investigation in 2014. That movie alone earned more than $8 million at box offices worldwide; it is just one example of how Aguilera could earn money even though she doesn’t have any new material coming out or tours scheduled.

Expenses and Taxes

The first thing you need to know about Christina Aguilera’s net worth is that it does not include all of her earnings, nor does it take into account certain expenses and taxes. She may have earned a huge paycheck from The Voice, but in many instances, talent doesn’t pay as well as management; think of an agent, manager and publicist—three roles Christina likely has. In addition to these fees coming out of her check, there are also taxes—and at high rates. Most Americans pay federal income tax at rates between 10% and 39.6%. The higher end applies to singles earning more than $418,400 per year (for 2015).

Assets and Investments

Christina Aguilera has done extremely well for herself since her debut. With a reported net worth of $300 million, she’s one of pop music’s richest stars, according to Celebrity Net Worth . Her fortune is even more impressive considering her age—39. That’s slightly older than most people entering retirement, but then again, musical artists have plenty of ways to make money once they’re out of their prime. For example, performers can license their music to film or television and can also promote other brands through licensing deals and endorsements. In fact, as Christina approaches middle age, her next decade could be just as financially lucrative as her last two were with hit songs that still get played on contemporary radio stations.

Endorsements, Endorsement Deals and Contracts

Christina Aguilera is a singer, songwriter, actress and TV personality who has earned an estimated $220 million in her career. In 2015, she reportedly received $15 million for her role as a judge on The Voice. Like most artists with careers spanning multiple decades, Christina’s income comes from several sources including record sales, ticket sales and royalties for past hits as well as money from endorsement deals like beauty brands and clothing lines. These payouts vary based on how much she is willing to be compensated versus what a company might offer.
