There’s no doubt that the Queen of Pop Madonna has enjoyed a massively successful music career over several decades.
With 14 solo studio albums and an impressive 11 concert tours to her name, the Material Girl singer has the title of being the best-selling female artist of all time.
In addition to being an iconic pop star, Madonna is also an actress and businesswoman, all of which adds up to a staggering net worth.
As the Queen of Pop turns 64 on August 16, here’s a look at her net worth and her journey to becoming the first female billionaire in pop music.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Madonna’s net worth as of 2022 is over £660million.
It’s been quite the journey for a girl who dropped out of college and came to New York with just £25 to her name.
Since her first album release in 1984, Madonna has put out 14 solo studio albums, selling over 330 million albums and singles as of 2015.
Named the best-selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records, Madonna has made staggering amounts of money from her various tours.
Madonna made nearly £340 million off her Sticky & Sweet tour in the UK between 2008 and 2009. Since then she had several nine-figure tours across the years.
Besides her singing career, Madonna also has several noteworthy acting credits including A League of Their Own (1992), and Evita (1996), which earned her the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy.
Her highest pay for a movie was £2.08 million for her role in Body of Evidence in 1993.
Madonna has also secured deals with big brands from Pepsi and H&M to Dolce & Gabana. And her ventures don’t stop there.
From writing children’s books to starting an entertainment company in 1992 and launching a skincare line, Madonna seems to have done it all and made a lot of cash from it as well.
Her assets include a triple-wide American town house as well as a huge art collection that includes pieces by Picasso.
When did Madonna become a billionaire?

Madonna went from a millionaire popstar to the first female billionaire in pop music after a successful year in 2012.
Her record-breaking MDNA tour brought in nearly £250 million in ticket sales, over £60million in merch sales and another £8million in TV rights and DVD sales.
Though it was an uber-successful 2012 that set her on the path to becoming a billionaire, the singer has sustained her high earnings since then through other ventures.
She has earned millions from her clothing line, shoe line and her debut perfume Truth or Dare, which earned her £50million, as well as many other business investments.
