Things just keep getting better for Grammy Award-winner Christina Aguilera. From being a judge on The Voice to having a Las Vegas Residency, Christina has done it all, and her career has developed over 30 years into something huge. In fact, the star is now worth a staggering $100M more than pop goddess Britney Spears.
Even though Christina Aguilera is a millionaire who has seen phenomenal success, she has never forgotten to give back and has been an active philanthropist for many years. She donated $200,000 to the Women's Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh in 2003, and was a spokesman for World Hunger Relief in 2009, plus raised over $148 million for World Food Programme in 2010.
Kind-hearted, talented, and deserving of her success... Christina Aguilera's net worth may be a whopping $160 million, but that should come as no surprise to fans who've watched her career soar over the years. So how exactly has Christina made most of her money?
Being a Coach on The Voice
Christina earned the title of highest-earning coach on The Voice due to her $17 million salary for the first three seasons of the series. Christina worked on the show from 2011 to 2016, even taking a pay cut after season three. The Voice was a slight career change for Christina, adding "TV personality" onto her extensive resume.
But despite the impressive salary Christina received for being a coach, Christina left in 2016, saying she wanted to focus on her upcoming album, Liberation.
Reports say that the real reason Christina stepped away from The Voice was that the show's focus was not music, and she was not fond of the production aspect. It sounds like she made the right decision, allowing her passion for music to guide her next steps.
Christina Aguilera's Roles in Film and TV
Christina has many big career accomplishments, including being an exciting and enigmatic actress. Her roles in hit films and shows such as Burlesque and Nashville contributed to her wealth.
The musical Burlesque built a major cult audience over the years and is probably her best-known role, especially given its origin. The hit, which also featured Cher, grossed $90 million at the box office.
In 2020, Christina sang a beautiful rendition of Reflection for the live-action remake of Mulan, which grossed $70 million at the box office.
Christina is still a musician at heart of course, but she has evolved as an artist, expanding her brand over the years by putting her passion for singing into other projects with have now ended up contributing more to her net worth.
Christina Aguilera's Impressive Real Estate
Christina has purchased some stunning Hollywood real estate over the years. In 2020, Famous Entertainment showed Christina's breath-taking Beverly Hills mansion that she's lived in since 2013, which cost her $10.75 million. In December 2021, Christina's former Hollywood Hills mansion is up for $10 million.
The stunning mid-century, four-bedroom house is situated in the Sunset Strip, a secluded cul-de-sac in the Hollywood Hills. Aguilera also has a second mansion in Beverly Hills and a home in the Mulholland Estate.
Christina Aguilera's Products and Endorsements
Christina has turned into a brand, her range of products and endorsements bumping up her net worth with fragrances and more padding her pockets.
Aguilera has endorsed several big brands, from Levi and Sketchers to Pepsi and Cola, and has become the face of many other well-known names. In 2008 when Christina gave birth to her son, according to reports, she was paid $1.5 million by People magazine for pictures of the baby.
Christina also has her own Masterclass where she teaches singing, a course that has been successful, garnered many positive reviews, and costs fans $90, a small price to pay to be taught how to sing by a global star whose career spans 30 years with a voice that is out of this world.
Christina Aguilera's Las Vegas Residency
The Xperience is Christina's concert residency at the Zappos Theatre in Las Vegas. It's an outer space-themed show with each of its six acts having their own colors and different scents pumped through the theatre.
The residency made $10 million at the box office from March 2019 to March 2020. The success of the concert is no surprise to fans. After all, Christina Aguilera is synonymous with impressive show-stopper tours and music awards.
Her "Back to Basics Tour", which ran for almost two years and started in November 2006, grossed $48.1 million. As well as the highly successful residency, Christina keeps busy with collaborators and has shown gratitude in an Instagram post for "a year full of love" and for all of her exciting projects, such as returning to Latin music, reimagining her catalog, and being honored with the Music Icon Award.
Collectively, music has clearly contributed the most to Christina's net worth. But her earnings from films, TV show appearances, and residencies (not to mention those pics of her new baby back in the day) have helped add to her net worth.
Arguably, Christina's extra ventures in the world of music have garnered her plenty more millions than record sales alone.
