She also owns her music publishing catalog of more than 3,000 songs, including 'I Will Always Love You' and '9 to 5,' estimated at around $120 million, plus income from books and other media ventures.

How the estimate has changed
This profile’s most recent substantive review was August 20, 2026, showing an estimated net worth of $450M (range $400M – $500M). Only one reviewed snapshot exists so far — a change history will appear here as future reviews are published. Movement between reviews can reflect real changes in reported wealth, or simply a change in methodology or sourcing; WORTHS will always distinguish the two when it shows up.
Public figures rarely disclose a complete account of their assets and liabilities. These figures are reported estimates assembled from the cited sources, not audited financial statements.
