Ariana Grande — $50 million
Grande first caught the public’s eyes and ears, starring as Cat Valentine on the “Victorious” Nickelodeon show. She achieved teen idol status with the program, but she was more interested in getting into music. Her music career began in 2011 by providing a TV show with a soundtrack. Yours Truly, My Everything, and Sweetener, Grande’s three albums, reached number one in the U.S. Billboard 200. Credited on several tracks on Yours Truly as a songwriter, she is the first female artist to have a debut top of the charts since Kesha.
