Actress and musician Olivia Rodrigo rose to international fame at the beginning of this year mostly thanks to her breakthrough in the music industry. As a result of this success, Rodrigo is currently estimated to have a net worth of $16 million. Much of this fortune was earned as a result of her debut album, Sour.
Various Disney appearances have added to the net worth as well.
In addition to being one of the biggest stars at the moment, Olivia has already found herself at the center of a few scandals. Upon releasing her songs Driver's License and Good 4 U, fans immediately assumed they were about High School Musical: The Musical co-star, Joshua Bassett. While the rumors may have been just that, rumors, it did wonders for her album sales!
RelatedCompared to other celebrities, it's safe to say that Rodrigo still tends to be very careful with her earnings. Considering the singer is still quite young, it's important she spends her money wisely, however, what exactly does she spend it on? Let's dive in.
Update September 2023: Olivia Rodrigo may have gotten fans talking with the release of 'Sour' but they went into a frenzy with the release of her second album, 'Guts', released early September 2023. There is so much buzz about the album that there are rumors swirling that Rodrigo may just take center stage with Grammy nominations, bumping Taylor Swift and 'Midnights' to take the win when nominated in the same categories.
Rodrigo is also going on tour in 2024. All concert dates are completely sold out, which means that her current net worth will be substantially higher by the time the tour concludes.
As if that were not enough going on for Rodrigo, she has also partnered with Sony to create limited edition earbuds that are anticipated to sell out shortly after they hit the shelves.
After breaking out on the scene on Disney and releasing her debut album, Sour back in May 2021, it's no surprise that Rodrigo has gone on to do quite well for herself. How well? The star is now worth a whopping $16 million, up from $5 million just two years ago. This is quite an impressive feat for someone who has been in the entertainment business for less than a decade. So, how exactly does she earn her millions, and more importantly, what does she spend it on?
RelatedTherapy certainly isn't cheap, and we're certain Rodrigo is getting the best of the best. The star opened up about her therapy sessions and just how much it's helped her.
“I hadn’t really started going until I was 16 and that was a really big, life-changing moment and I’ve learned so much about myself,” Rodrigo explained.
Although she's worth a pretty penny, it's safe to say that years of therapy comes at a cost!
We're kicking the list off with the fact that Rodrigo earned quite a lot of her net worth through the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark.
The show premiered in June 2016. Rodrigo portrayed the guitarist Paige Olvera. She starred alongside Madison Hu, Jake Paul, DeVore Ledridge, Ethan Wacker, Maxwell Simkins, and Elie Samouhi.
In April 2019, after three successful seasons, the show wrapped up.
As fans already know, Rodrigo is only 20 years old which is why the fact that she already owns a house of her own is quite impressive. Yes, the musician and actress purchased her first property before graduating from high school, but considering that Rodrigo is incredibly talented, this definitely doesn't come as a surprise!
Another acting project that certainly contributed to Rodrigo's net worth is the starring role of Nini Salazar-Roberts in the Disney+ show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered in November 2019.
Rodrigo portrayed the character in the first two seasons of the show and at the beginning of the third before she was written out.
Unlike many actors, being written out of a show was not because executives did not want her to remain a part of the cast. Instead, Driver's License took off like gangbusters and Rodrigo took off to tour, leaving no time to film on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
Of course, Rodrigo rose to international fame mostly during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which is why the star couldn't splurge on traveling too much. However, those who follow Rodrigo on social media certainly know that she will not miss an opportunity to go to a new place, be it for work or her own pleasure.
From London, Hawaii, Scotland, and more, Rodrigo is seeing the sights and taking it all in from whatever locale she is in.
While Rodrigo was already somewhat famous through her acting, her career skyrocketed once the star started releasing music. In January 2021, Rodrigo released her debut single Driver's License which immediately became a huge hit. In April of the same year, Rodrigo released her second single Deja Vu and fans absolutely loved it. In May 2021, Rodrigo released the hit Good 4 U followed by the release of her debut studio album Sour on May 21, 2021.
As if Rodrigo needed to gain more fans, her songs were included in the Amazon Prime hit series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. This helped to introduce Rodrigo's music to some that may otherwise never have heard it.
With Rodrigo's second album, Guts having just released in September 2023 to huge fanfare, it is likely that there will be more money earned off the newest album, increasing Rodrigo's net worth even further.
Rodrigo teamed up with Vogue to show her fans just what her skincare routine is. As anyone who has seen Rodrigo knows, the star is absolutely stunning and fans couldn't wait to hear her beauty secrets.
As Rodrigo divulged what she used for flawless skin, many were surprised she did not purchase the most expensive skincare, but products her fans could use as well. What was clear, however, that the products she is using are absolutely working for the star!
A big reason as to why Rodrigo's music clicked with so many fans across the globe is probably because the young star writes all of her songs herself.
RelatedYes, Rodrigo may be the new Taylor Swift when it comes to songwriting. Prior to releasing her album she wrote the songs All I Want and Just for a Moment for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series's soundtrack.
With her second album, Rodrigo is credited for songwriting on every track. As such, Guts proves to be just as personal as Rodrigo's debut album, which is why fans love her music so.
Rodrigo might be young but there's no doubt that she has developed an incredible fashion sense. Just like a true Gen Zer, Rodrigo loves experimenting with different fashion styles in order to create a very unique and authentic look. Anyone who is familiar with the star surely knows that Rodrigo absolutely loves a good fashion piece, and she's probably willing to splurge on it!

With a social media following of the size, it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that Rodrigo earns money through her platforms.
