Okay, so I was just chilling the other day, listening to some music, and Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up” came on. Classic, right? Got me thinking, man, she really blew up with that track and has been pretty consistent since. Naturally, my next thought was, I wonder how she’s doing, like, financially. What’s Ella Mai’s net worth looking like these days, especially as we were heading towards the end of 2023?
My Digging Process
So, I did what anyone does – grabbed my phone and started searching. My first stop was just typing “ella mai net worth 2023” into the search bar. You know how it is, a bunch of results pop up immediately.
Honestly, the first few hits gave different numbers. That’s always a bit annoying. One site said one figure, another had a slightly different one. It makes you wonder which one to trust, you know? Some looked like those clickbaity celebrity net worth sites that just seem to guess everything.
I decided to dig a little deeper than the first page. I tried phrasing my search differently, maybe adding “Forbes” or “music industry sources,” but that didn’t really bring up anything super official. It seems like unless the artist reveals it themselves, or a major financial publication does a deep dive, a lot of these numbers are just educated guesses based on album sales, tours, streams, and maybe endorsements.
I spent a good 15-20 minutes clicking around, reading snippets from different articles and sites. Most seemed to hover around a similar range, though. You see estimates based on her record deal (being signed to DJ Mustard’s label and Interscope), the success of her singles and albums, touring revenue, and streaming royalties.
I specifically looked for info related to 2023 – maybe new deals, big tours that happened that year, or major releases. Her sophomore album came out in 2022, so 2023 likely saw continued earnings from that, plus touring and festival appearances.
In the end, I didn’t find one definitive, absolutely confirmed number straight from Ella Mai or her accountant, obviously. But by looking at several sources, especially the ones that seemed a bit more credible (like, they didn’t have flashing ads all over the place), I got a general idea. Most estimates I saw were putting her somewhere in the single-digit millions range, maybe like $6 million to $9 million by late 2023. Seems plausible given her success.
It was an interesting little rabbit hole, just trying to piece together the info from the usual online spots. You never get a perfect answer for these things unless it’s officially stated, but looking at the consensus across a few places gives you a ballpark figure. That was my little investigation into Ella Mai’s financial status for 2023.
