Meghan Trainor's Stunning Net Worth Revealed
Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Meghan Trainor's net worth is $8 million. Her wealth makes sense when you consider that "All About That Bass" enjoyed eight straight weeks atop Billboard's Hot 100 list and was certified diamond after selling 11 million units globally. Trainor also embarked on a successful U.S. tour to promote her debut album. Though it ended up being cut short due to a vocal hemorrhage, it's still likely that she earned a decent profit (via Entertainment Weekly).
However, Trainor didn't see her earnings right away. In 2015, shortly after the success of "All About That Bass," the singer opened up to U.K. publication The Daily Star about her financial woes. "I haven't made any money yet," she said. Trainor went on to say, "People think I must be rich but I'm not. I haven't been able to make a big purchase yet but I'm working on it."
It's a common misconception that any artist with a hit song must be wealthy from it, but most of the time, that's not the case. There are several factors involved, such as an artists' specific record contract, if they've been touring, licensing agreements, and much more (via Business Insider). Trainor might not have seen her profits for a little while, but it seems that she eventually received her share and is doing quite well for herself.
