Since her red-haired days on the set of Victorious, Ariana Grande has impressed the world with her soft voice, Soprano tone, and incredible range. It was her 2013 hit single "The Way," which featured the late rapper Mac Miller — who she famously dated from 2016 to 2018 — that really skyrocketed her singing career, further promoting her first album, Yours Truly. With whistle notes that battle the likes of Mariah Carey's, the two-time Grammy winner has solidified herself as a music legend.
But besides her contributions to pop music, Ariana is very much an advocate and activist for mental health. Ariana put her money to good use for World Mental Health Day, to help people access mental health resources. So, what is Ariana's glowing net worth? Considering her receipts be lookin' like phone numbers, we'd say it's impressive. Can we get a "yuh"?
What is Ariana Grande's net worth?
Ariana's current net worth stands at $240 million, but considering the past "positions" the singer booked, including a gig as a judge on NBC's The Voice, she's likely raking in more dough as we speak. In fact, according to Rob Shuter, host of the iHeartRadio podcast Naughty But Nice, she is the highest-paid judge the singing competition show ever hired. "Sources say Ariana [was] getting a whopping $20 million to $25 million for the show, putting her in the same category as Katy Perry on American Idol," he said.

Ariana Grande gave away $5 million in free therapy.
In June 2021, Ariana teamed up with Better Help, "the largest online therapy platform worldwide," to donate $1 million in free therapy. In collaboration with Better Help, the singer donated $5 million worth of free therapy in celebration of World Mental Health Day, which took place on Oct. 10, 2021. She announced the charitable partnership, which is partially intended to simply spread awareness, on Instagram.
"I acknowledge that there are very real barriers when it comes to accessing mental health resources, and while this is only one small gesture (and a much larger systemic problem remains) I wanted to do this again with @betterhelp in hopes of bringing access to a few more people and perhaps inspiring a few of you to try something new and prioritize your own healing," Ariana wrote.
Mental health is deeply important to Ariana, who has opened up about her own struggles, including her experience with PTSD after the 2017 Manchester bombing that tragically took place at her concert. In 2018, Ariana tweeted, "In all honesty therapy has saved my life so many times. If you’re afraid to ask for help, don’t be. You don’t have to be in constant pain and you can process trauma. I've got a lot of work to do but it’s a start to even be aware that it’s possible."
Ariana has even incorporated her mental health battle in songs like "Breathin." Ariana, who's also worked with charities like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, has a powerful voice, and we mean that in every sense of the word. It's beyond wonderful to see her use it for the greater good.
Ariana Grande's divorce settlement ordered her to pay $1.25 million to Dalton Gomez.
Speaking of giving, Ariana’s divorce from Dalton became official on March 19, 2024, thereby opening the doors to him receiving a lump sum payment in lieu of spousal support. According to court documents obtained by Distractify, as a part of their divorce settlement, Ariana is required to pay Dalton a tax-free payment of $1.25 million. The singer was also ordered to allow him a 30-day rent-free stay at their Los Angeles family home.
Court documents also reveal Ariana will remain in possession of her vehicles, clothing, jewelry, and a Yoshitomo Nara painting. She will also keep miscellaneous personal effects and “one-half of the furniture and furnishings located the at the Los Angeles Family Residence,” the court documents note.
Ariana and Dalton did sign a prenuptial agreement so any of the earnings they collected before, during, and after the separation remain theirs.
Dalton will also receive half of the proceeds from selling their Los Angeles home within 30 days of the close of escrow after all payments and deductions have been made.
Ariana and Dalton tied the knot on May 15, 2021, and separated on Feb. 20, 2023. The "we can't be friends" singer filed for divorce on Oct. 16, 2023, and the divorce was finalized on March 19, 2024. She has since moved on and is now dating Ethan Slater.
