Katy Perry's reported wealth reflects her recording and touring career plus the September 2023 sale of her music catalog rights for a reported $225 million, one of the larger individual-artist catalog transactions of its kind. Forbes also credits her multi-season judging role on American Idol, reportedly paying around $25 million per season, as a significant income source.

Forbes does not itemize exactly how the $360M total splits between catalog sale proceeds, touring, and American Idol income.
