What Is Musician Brandi Carlile’s Net Worth? Inside Her Fortune

The music world is filled with artists who are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and some are even billionaires, but there are also plenty of artists who have a very impressive, if slightly more modest, net worth all their own, such as musician Brandi Carlile.

Brandi is a critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter and producer, who has amassed millions of fans in addition to winning multiple Grammy Awards throughout her 20-year music career.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, as of April 2025, Brandi is worth an estimated $8 million. The bulk of her wealth is from her highly lucrative music career.

In addition to the financial success her own career has provided, Brandi has also reaped the financial benefits as a producer for other musical artists, including country star Tanya Tucker.

Brandi has been married to wife Catherine Shepherd since September 2012, the couple are also parents to two children, daughters Evangeline and Elijah, born in 2014 and 2018, respectively.

"I hadn't seen her for six or seven months, and I'd ended my relationship," Carlile said in 2021 about falling for Catherine while appearing on The Howard Stern Show. "She'd come to Boston to visit her dad, and she walked up to my tour bus. I saw her at the front door, and I was just like, 'That's it. Everything's different.'"

"She's my best friend," Brandi added. "Absolute best friend, and arch-rival, and the person that I love to be around the most, and the person I hate to leave a room, and the person I argue with late into the night."

In an April 2021 interview with PEOPLE, Brandi spoke openly about her journey to motherhood as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. "I'm hoping people see through my story that there's no right or wrong way to evolve into a parenting role in either heterosexual or same-sex relationships," Carlile told the outlet at the time.

"There are different, complicated dynamics, and there are many ways to feel. The more we talk about it and normalize it, the easier it is to understand that your parenting journey is custom. It really is your own," she continued.

“I worry all the time that I'm doing it wrong or that I'm depriving them of something or that they're getting too much or that they won't have the life skills that I have because they're not poor or because they've only ever lived in one house or because they don't understand that things are hard in the world. We don't know how to tell them that yet," Brandi said.

She also shared that she eventually accepted the fact that her wife, instead of her, carried their daughter. "I made peace with knowing that there was some pioneering involved in what we were doing, to the point where there wasn't even a two mother template on a birth certificate yet," Brandi said. "There is now, but psychologically, all these things are really hard. And the high dive into parenting is a complicated leap to take anyway."
