The singer, dancer, actress and mogul, along with her husband, Denver Broncos star Russell Wilson, know the importance of a good hustle, drive and branding almost better than anyone else in the game. She explained to Self in 2021 that she always has a vision for what she wants and how to get there. “I’ve always been a planner, always, since day one, even back to the start of my career with having a goal sheet. You can’t get to where you want to get to in life without a compass,” she explained. “I really believe that in order to get to where you want to get to in life, you got to envision it, you got to speak it, you got to plan it, and you got to write it down. I believe in those affirmations.” Though her own hard work is behind her success, Ciara is always quick to credit Wilson with what the parents of parents of three (daughter Sienna and son Win, as well as her son Future Zahir Wilburn with her ex Future) can create together. “What I think that’s been really great for us because it still makes us—we can be in the same house and still miss each other. But also, because work still goes on, we’re not just kicking back like, ‘Oh, what we doing? Watching TV.’ We’re still grinding. We’re still working,” she said. “He’s sometimes working in another room in another section of the house, and I’m just working in another section too. And sometimes we go hours doing that. So then, by the time the end of the day comes, ‘Oh, my gosh. I really missed you.’” Find out Ciara’s net worth in 2022 and how she earned it.
What made Ciara famous?
Ciara was part of the ill-fated girl group Hearsay when she was in her early teen years. The group disbanded before seeing any success, but Ciara persisted and eventually nabbed a publishing deal as a songwriter, earning credits on tunes by Fantasia Barrinoof American Idolfame and Blu Cantrell while still in high school. While juggling school and working as a songwriter, Ciara met producer Jazze Pha, who helped her produce demo recordings of songs including “1, 2 Step.” Pha introduced her to legendary music producer L.A. Reid, who signed her to LaFace Records after she graduated high school in 2003. In 2004, Lil Jonproduced her first single “Goodies,” which became an almost instant smash and spawned her debut album, Goodies, to debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in September 2004. Ciara’s sophomore single “1, 2 Step”—one of her earlier demos with Pha—nabbed a Missy Elliottfeature and landed in the top 10 worldwide.
What is Ciara’s net worth in 2022?
Ciara has an estimated net worth of $20 million from numerous revenue streams. These obviously include her music, but also acting, brand endorsements, TV hosting and more, as well as her massive social media presence. It doesn’t include Wilson’s estimated net worth, either, which is reportedly a whopping $165 million (including an annual salary of $22 million).
How much does Ciara make a year?
Ciara’s annual income varies depending on the projects in which she’s involved, as well as whether she goes on tour. Her yearly pay typically falls in the $1 million to $4 million range, according to estimates.
How much did Ciara make from Future?
At one point, rapper and producer Future, who shares son “Baby” Future with Ciara, alleged that he paid her $15,000 monthly in child support. However, sources close to the “Promise” singer denied the sum, saying Future’s payments are substantially less than the $15K he claimed. That said, she may well have made bank off of the music that she made with Future when they were together, but he obviously took a hefty cut of that too.
How much does Ciara make from TikTok?
Ciara’s income from TikTok isn’t publicly known for sure, but there are some estimates out there to what she may be taking home from the platform. Ciara has a 2.8 million follower count as of this writing (May 2022). Addison Rae, TikTok’s at times inexplicably most popular fixture, has 87.6 million followers. It’s estimated that Rae makes $49,080 to $81,801 per TikTok video. Rae has roughly 31.28 times as many followers as Ciara. Using that math, Ciara likely makes between $1,569.05 and $2,615.12 per TikTok post. However, Ciara likely also earns royalties from the platform if and when her own music is used in videos, whether by her or other performers.
How much does Ciara make from endorsements?
Much of Ciara’s financial success comes from endorsements, brand sponsorships and a lucrative modeling deal with IMG. She’s worked with major names, including Revlon, Givenchy, Adidas, Verizon Wireless, Jeep and Rocawear, to name a few. She and husband Wilson have their own fragrance line called R & C, as well as clothing and accessory brands, a children’s book and more. Ciara’s hustle is relentless, even using International Women’s Day to plug a rum brand.
Is Ciara successful?
Ciara as a brand is one of the most successful around, and it shows her business savvy in a field that easily may have forgotten about her otherwise. The singer’s first two albums went multiplatinum, but her subsequent releases saw precipitous drops in sales (largely due to issues with her record label), with the highest sales clocking in at a mere 208,000 copies for her self-titled effort in 2013. She saw success in singles, however, including “Body Party” and “I Bet,” which have kept her rightfully relevant despite relatively low album charting status. Ciara’s powerhouse live performances—featuring flawless and incredibly athletic choreography—further cemented her as a legacy artist. She successfully pivoted from focusing on her music career to become a living, breathing brand with her husband. In addition to her and Wilson’s product lines and social media presences, Ciara has become a beloved television personality (even filling in as a guest host for Ellen DeGeneres’ eponymous show) and a well-paid fixture of Tiktok.
