The Breakdown: Lizzo has gone from a struggling singer to an international superstar, and she has the net worth to back it up. Her time in music and her business ventures have made her very wealthy.
Make no mistake — Lizzo is that girl. She has built a career and net worth that deserves applause, and she shows no signs of slowing down.
Lizzo's rise to fame wasn't overnight. After releasing her debut album Lizzobangers in 2013, she truly hit her stride with 2019's Cuz I Love You, featuring bops like "Juice” and "Truth Hurts.” Her 2022 album Special gave us "About Damn Time", which snagged the Grammy for Record of the Year, making her the first Black woman to win the award since Whitney Houston in 1994.
Since then, Lizzo has become a household name and global superstar. Her songs and vibes have led to a successful career and a very impressive net worth. Here is a look at how the singer built her impressive fortune.
Lizzo’s net worth is sitting as pretty as she is.
Our flute-playing, body-positive goddess Lizzo is sitting pretty with an estimated net worth of $40 million as of 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The database credits much of Lizzo’s earnings to her success in music. Her 2019 album Cuz I Love You debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with 41,000 album-equivalent units, of which 24,000 were pure album sales. Following the success of Special, Lizzo’s career really took off.
Touring, brand deals, acting cameos, and her Emmy-winning Amazon Prime show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls added even more to her empire. Lizzo later launched her body-positive shapewear line Yitty, which featured a collection of products designed for all body shapes.
“I was like, I wanna create a product that, even if you see it, it’s not shameful. It’s not embarrassing,” Lizzo told Harper’s Bazaar. “It’s actually sexy and liberating and you could take your shirt off and be like, ‘Yeah, I gotta bright a-- blue bra or shaping bra or whatever underneath my shirt.’ And even if you wanna go to the club, you could take your work clothes off and you got a whole fit underneath.”

Lizzo was involved in a messy scandal involving her former backup dancers.
In August 2023, three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — sued the pop star, her dance captain Shirlene Quigley, and her touring company. According to The Los Angeles Times, the dancers accused them of sexual harassment, weight-shaming, and fostering a hostile work environment.
Lizzo denied the allegations, saying she felt "completely surprised" and "very hurt" by the claims. She emphasized her respect for her team. In February 2024, a judge dismissed some of the dancers’ claims, including those tied to fat-shaming and disability discrimination, but allowed others — such as sexual harassment and racial and religious discrimination — to move forward.
