The Richest Female Pop Stars of the '00s, Ranked by Net Worth (No. 1 has the Lead by $600 Million!)

It’s a safe bet that everyone can easily name their favorite female pop star from the golden age of music in the ’00s. But do you also know who is the wealthiest?

Pop music soared to new heights as we moved into a new millennium in 2000, and we were introduced to an entirely new generation of stars.

Some of the musicians who defined the ’00s started laying a groundwork in the ’90s or even earlier. However, others were just getting started and have taken us on exciting journeys.

Of course, many of them are also still churning out amazing content all the way into 2024, and they don’t show signs of slowing down.

Music is a lucrative career, and that is evident when looking at the net worth of these musicians.

Curious to see just how much they have earned?

With the start of the 2024 Coachella Music Festival, which sees the reunion of Gwen Stefanie‘s No Doubt, we decided to take a stroll down memory lane. We rounded up some of the most prominent names from the ’00s and ranked them based on their estimated net worth.

What did we learn? Several pop stars of the era are members of the billionaire’s club today, and they’ve all amassed impressive fortunes. However, the top earner still beats out her closest competitor by about $600 million!

Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles' Is Actually About A Famous Hollywood Actor!

Vanessa Carlton is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her hit song, “A Thousand Miles”.

The 40-year-old musician is looking back at the iconic song and revealing for once and for all, just who the subject is that she’s singing about.

“The song is about a crush I had on a Juilliard student,” Vanessa shared. “I can’t say the person’s name because they are a famous actor and I don’t want to say it.”

In her documentary with Vice, Vanessa says she’s not attaching a gender to the crush on purpose.

“I’m purposefully, I’m not attaching a gender and it will remain like that,” she says, adding to the speculation of which actor it is about.

Vanessa also spoke about how it’s taken her a long time to really like the song again.

“I figured out how to make peace with that song, how to honor people’s connection with that song and realize that song does not belong to me anymore,” she says. “That allows me to move forward as a musician.”

Vanessa just recently dropped her sixth studio album.

“Love is the energy you put out into the world,” Vanessa said in a statement. “And it can be so incredibly messy at times.”
