How much does Kelly Clarkson make per year?

Answer 1

Kelly Clarkson doesn't make a "set" amount every year like she would in a standard job. She makes money when she tours, from her album sales, from her website membership fees, sale of her merchandise, etc. If you assume that she made 15% of her album sales (the average artist cut), then from the combined sales of Thankful, Breakaway, and My December- (18,630,000 as of March 23) she made approximately 30.6 million dollars. That is starting from the day her first album Thankful was released. An average tour consists of 30 performances. An average venue can seat 3,000 people. An average concert ticket costs $65. So, from one tour, $5,850,000 is made. Artists receive about half of the tour profits- meaning from one tour Kelly banks about $2,925,000. Kelly has done 9 tours since the start of her career- So, using the averageprofit amount, we'll say that Kelly has made $26,325,000 in tours. So- Only considering album sales and tours, Kelly has made about 57 million dollars since the day she won American Idol. She has made more from her website and merchandise. But, you get the picture. She's banking. She's been a professional musician for 6 years, but obviously she didn't make the same amount every year. Her most successful year (so far) as far as finances go has been 2005, when Breakaway was at its peak. She made about 30 million dollars that year alone. Hope this answers your question!
