How Much Money Does Lady Gaga Make

For more than a decade now, Lady Gaga has been one of the biggest names in the music industry. Catching the attention of fans and the press alike with her creative outfits and eye-catching stage performances, Gaga was a household name less than a year after she first broke onto the scene with her 2008 hit 'Just Dance'. Unlike the one-hit wonders of history, Gaga's career continued to excel, spanning across different music genres and into the film business. It's no surprise that, these days, the superstar has a truly impressive fortune to her name.

Lady Gaga has certainly come a long way from the aspiring singer who once had to use lighters and hairspray in her early shows because she had no money for special effects. Looking at her massive net worth now, it's also difficult to believe that Gaga once sent herself broke investing in an amazing stage for her tour. Keep reading to find out what Lady Gaga's net worth is in 2021 and how she earned it.

Lady Gaga's Net Worth

Since breaking out onto the mainstream music scene in 2008, Lady Gaga has increased her net worth exponentially. According to Wealthy Gorilla, Lady Gaga's net worth in 2021 sits at around $320 million. Not too shabby!

To date, Lady Gaga has released five solo albums, two collaborative albums with music legend Tony Bennett, and a soundtrack album for A Star Is Born with Bradley Cooper. She's also more than 30 chart-topping singles.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that Gaga earned more than $80 million in 2012 alone from her album sales, tours, and more. Fans will recognize this as the 'Born This Way' era, one of the periods where the pop star was at the very top of her game. Normally, Lady Gaga's yearly earnings tend to fall around the $40 million mark,l and she earned $39.5 million between June 2018 and June 2019.

Like many people, Gaga was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and had to cancel the last 10 shows of the Joanne World Tour. Still, the tour grossed $95 million from the sale of approximately 842,000 tickets.

From the end of 2018 to 2019, Gaga also performed at her very successful residency in Las Vegas. The Daily Mail reports that Mother Monster is set to return to Vegas for the latter part of 2021 and will be making around $750K per night.

American Horror Story

Though music is her primary hustle, Gaga has also made some money from her list of acting credits. The first notable role of her career was that of Elizabeth in the fifth season of American Horror Story, for which she earned a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Mini-Series.

Fox Business reports (via Nicki Swift) that Gaga earned between $75K and $150K per episode of American Horror Story.

A Star Is Born

Easily the biggest role of Gaga's career thus far was Ally in A Star Is Born, where Gaga starred opposite Bradley Cooper. It is estimated by Fox Business that Gaga earned between $5 and $10 million for starring as Ally, in addition to two Grammys, a Critics Choice Award, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award.

Her Beauty Ventures

Some of Gaga's massive wealth can be attributed to her business endeavors in the beauty industry. In recent years, Gaga has made several beauty deals with major brands, teaming up with some of the biggest names in the business. She also released her own brand in 2019—Haus Laboratories.

"I would like all gender identities to know very clearly that they are included, and never exploited, ever," Gaga said of Haus Laboratories in an interview with Allure.
