Christina Aguilera Net Worth $130 Million
Christina Aguilera’s childhood dream was to become a singer. In 1988 Christina became a contestant on Star Search, and finished in second place. She continued to enter contests and become noticed, until her first break in “The New Micky Mouse Club’ in the early 90s.
In 1999, Christina signed a contract with RCA Records, and released her first, self-titled album the same year which sold 17 million copies worldwide, and which earned Aguilera a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and the lead single “Genie in a Bottle” was her real breakthrough, topping charts in over 20 countries. In 2000, she released two more albums: “Mi Reflejo” and “My Kind of Christmas”, which then depicted Christina`s image as a bubblegum pop singer. After that, X-Tina decided to take creative control of her later albums and started changing her image by showing a more provocative personal style, releasing such albums as “Stripped” (2002) and “Back to Basics” (2006). Both were successful, with the most popular singles of “Stripped”, which sold over 4.2 million of copies and became one of the steadiest-selling albums of 2003, were “Beautiful” and “Dirrty”. In 2010, her fourth studio album, “Bionic” was released. All in all, Christina has sold more than 25 million albums and collected three Grammy Awards, purporting that Aguilera possesses a great net worth, and in fact she was one of the most popular pop artists in the 2000s, which contributed significantly to Christina Aguilera’s wealth.
In 2011 Christina Aguilera became a judge in NBC`s TV show “The Voice”, her annual salary from which is $10 million, contributing to Christina’s great net worth. She left the show for a while in order to finish her album “Lotus” (2012). Her debut in Hollywood was made in 2012 with the musical “Burlesque”, which performance rewarded her with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and added a solid sum to Christina’s net worth.
In her personal life, X-Tina was married to music marketing executive Jordan Bratman from 2005 to 2011. In 2008 she gave a birth to her son Max Liron Bratman. What is interesting is that she got paid $1,5 million by People Magazine for her baby pictures. By Forbes, it was ranked as the 5th in the list of the most expensive celebrity baby photos. Christina has been with partner Matthew Rutler since 2010.
