KELLY CLARKSON | $45 MILLION

If you are a fan of American Idol, you are very well aware of the singing sensation Kelly Clarkson. Having the honor of the talent show’s maiden victor, Kelly would make her raw talent known by achieving multiple music industry accolades. However, before all the fortune and fame that came along the million-dollar record deal from the contest’s winnings, she was a humble server working at Subway and Papa John’s dreaming of better days to come. Little did she know that she would have an estimated net worth of $45 million to her credit a couple of decades from then.

Apart from her prolific music career, Kelly also won herself an Emmy Award for her very own TV show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. She would also see herself as a panelist for The Voice. Her career thus far has indeed been a remarkable success story from humble beginnings. We’re pretty sure the singer now has several investments thanks to the financial freedom that her career brought to her.
