"I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherf*cker" -- me every time I put my credit card down.
Once upon a time at Coachella, Sabrina Carpenter said "that's that me espresso" and spent the rest of the summer becoming (even more of) a multi-millionaire. Thanks to having the song of the summer, a chart-topping album, loads of sponsorships, and an entire Disney career in her back pocket, Sabrina is absolutely loaded -- and the time has come to dive into her bank account.
-- checking your bank account after leaving Sephora.
I mean, she's been collecting paychecks since she was a kid guest-starring on the likes of Law & Order SVU.
But Sabrina landed her breakout role as Maya Hart on Girl Meets World. Soooo, how much did she make? It's unclear BUT we do have some intel since TMZ reported all the way back in 2014 that Sabrina's co-star Rowan Blanchard was making $10,000 an episode for the show's 21 episode first season (which totals $210,000).
As for what Sabrina has coming up, there's maybeeee an Alice in Wonderland musical? According to Forbes, Sabrina is producing the musical and sold it to Netflix over Zoom for seven figures. There are no updates on where this project stands but truly cannot think of a better person to tumble down the rabbit hole.
Oh and SPEAKING of Netflix, let's assume Sabrina is making bucketloads (which I believe is an official unit of measure) for this:
Sabrina's been putting out bangers for years (Short n' Sweet is her sixth studio album!), but obviously her impact on 2024 is where the real money-making comes into play. That said, we're still living through the last dregs of Summer 2024, meaning the impact of "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" (and "Taste!") haven't been calculated by the likes of Forbes yet. That said...it seems safe to assume Sabrina has made millions from "Espresso" going platinum alone.
Oh, and if you're wondering how much Sabrina took home for opening the Eras Tour...that's under lock and key. We do know, however, that she bought herself a fancy mansion (we'll get to it in a sec) right before ending the tour, so it's likely a lot.
As for what she made for performing at Coachella, that's also unknown, but in 2017 the New Yorker reported Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, and Lady Gaga each took home between $3 and $4 million for their headlining sets. Plus, Bad Bunny earned $5 million for his performance in 2023 and Beyoncé was paid between $8 and $12 million in 2018.
Sabrina's heightened fame has resulted in tons of sponsorships this year alone, including (clears throat) Van Leeuwen, Blank Street, SuperGoop, Marc Jacobs, and Skims.
She's also Redken's new global brand ambassador (no news on what she's being paid, but these partnerships often run in the millions).
"Beauty, and especially my hair, is a big part of my identity," she told WWD of the partnership. "I've always dreamed of partnering with a hair brand and waited to find the right partner. It's been the secret to keeping my hair looking its best and I can't wait to share what we've been working on together."
On top of alllll this, Sabrina is selling merch that is honestly extremely cute! Like this Short n' Sweet underwear set, which I need to own.
Sabrina purchased a $4.4 million 1930s Spanish Colonial home in the Hollywood Hills in December 2023 (right in the middle of the Eras Tour). On top of that, Architectural Digest says she owns a $1.7 million home in Northridge, which was purchased in 2018.
It leaves quite an impression: $12 million to be exact. At least according to Celebrity Net Worth! However, it's unclear if this figure includes all the profits from her super-sized summer, so stay tuned!
