Hello

Who do you think is the most wealthiest out of Mariah and Madonna, they both write/co write nearly all of their songs.

Both have huge sellout tours.

Both have sold over 200million records.

Opinions?

On Mariah:

Is said to be a billionaire as she divorced a chief executive of sonyand took half his worth, every year she toured shes been making around 250 millon.

Also she still has a huge record deal/ still is a huge success and when with emi which owns virign records had signed the biggest record deal in history of music- 80 million dollars. Was paid off 19 milion from emi as well as from her original label.

Mariah did earn on her record deal around 20 millon plus for each album. espically when musicbox sold 23 miilon copies.

Also she has written for other us artists and had 2 record labels, one still in existense. And co-writes and co-produces/composes 95% of her work.

Mariahs the biggest selling female artist of all time and has had the most us number ones of a female artist.

Well considering Carey was close to being declared bankrupt recently on account that her record comapny dropped her because her singing was attracting stray cats into the studios, I'd guess it's Madonna.

shes signed with def jam and had made 240 milion in the last year touring so i very much doubt bankrupacy and her latest single stayed at number 1 for 20 weeks in the us and is one of the top 10 selling albums worldwide of this year.

def jam signed her for 2.5 milion and 3.5 milion an album.

She was alos the biggest selling artist of the 80/90's shes loaded.

Madonna has been around for years making big money. She has not only big selling albums but also a record label(may have sold it when I think about it), childrens books and also haas millions of pounds worth of property.

I would say Madonna but wouldnt be sure since Mariah has done well from her divorce.

mistake made
checked been on the chart 20 weeks and 13 weeks at number 1 so far.

Mariah definately is a billionaire i would say or near it, her tours make millions and her merchandise. And her new album is said to out sells musicboxes 23 million. On her 10th album and already outsold madonna.

Also has got paid for 5 films and i would say she earns more royalties as mariahs still huge in the us. Also mariah back catalogue still gets played a lot on music video channels.

and she has years a head of her as shes at an all time peak now in i.e us/europe.

There very similar both have record labels, both superstars.

I am sorry to say your both wrong, We Belong Together has been at no 1 for 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over the summer. Not consecutivly she has been at 1 down to 2 and back up to 1 all summer. Doing really well though. Also someone mentioned she has 2 record labels of her own and one is still running. She only ever had 1 and it was closed down a few years ago. It contained a few artists like R&B group Allure which were a girl band.

there was epic record group with allure,7 mile etc and then when signed with def jam the deal includes that she has her own reocord label to sign other artists as well as Carey has also created a media company to handle publishing, film production and other projects.

checked for her new labels existance and its called MonarC.
MonarC will be distributed by Island/Def Jam Records, which is part of the Universal Music Group. although still in the working.

Agreed.


If you are talking about monetary wealth, that usually goes alongside the length of a career, so my vote would have to go to Madonna (estimated wealth $615 million).

In wealth terms, Dolly Parton is probably second, with such a massive stock of songs written bringing in huge royalties.

If you are talking about record sales, there is some conjecture.

Wilkipedia lists contenders such as Mariah, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Nana Mouskouri and a Russian singer named Alla Pugacheva on this link. .

Mariahs worth about $1 billion dollars espically after earning 240 million dollars for her last tour and a massive stack of songs which she earns royalties and was biggest selling female artist of the 80/90's. I think its 16 number ones she had in the us. And one of her songs goes down as having the biggest airplay on radio ever.

You just have to look at property she owns and the life she lives to see how much shes worth.

I think you may be confusing net earnings with gross earnings - this is the amount earned before expenses, which on such a major tour can amount to a massive figure.

Perhaps youd like to provide a link to your figures?

Just inside info which can't disclose, and the money was what she profited from the tour.

Cheap shot Sizz - some of us are happy to let errors in grammar, spelling and syntax slide as long as an FM has got their point across.

Potato - I forgive you, but for future reference, it should have been 'more wealthierer', or just 'richerer'.

I read it was "rumoured" that she was about bankrupt because she demanded her a hair and make up artist with her 24/7

What a load of crap.

Mariah's NY penthouse apartment (off cribs) was gorgeous. I think she has the top 6 floors of the building.
