In her 85-minute [set](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/ariana-grande-coachella-headlining-set-822243/) on April 14, Grande — the youngest artist to ever headline the popular music and arts festival — pulled off an [\*NSYNC reunion](https://www.stereogum.com/2039783/ariana-grande-brings-out-nsync-nicki-minaj-diddy-mase-at-coachella/video/?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral), paid tribute to late rapper Mac Miller and sang before an orchestra. She featured P. Diddy, overcame [audio issues](https://pitchfork.com/news/watch-ariana-grande-and-nicki-minaj-ride-out-sound-problems-at-coachella-2019/) with Nicki Minaj and served as the soundtrack to an adorable [Justin Bieber-Billie Eilish hug](https://www.buzzfeed.com/benhenry/billie-eilish-justin-bieber-ariana-grande-coachella). She even had Wall-E do a cameo. Oh, and did we mention Arichella still has another weekend to go? Along with breaking the internet, the 25-year-old is definitely boosting her bank account. Although we don't know exactly how much Ariana Grande got paid for Coachella 2019, [V](https://variety.com/2019/music/news/coachella-day-3-ariana-grande-lizzo-khalid-1203189930/)[ariety reported](https://variety.com/2019/music/news/coachella-day-3-ariana-grande-lizzo-khalid-1203189930/) that she's making $8 million. Coachella's press team did not respond to Money's email asking whether that number was accurate. But even if Grande is earning a slightly smaller amount than rumored, her paycheck is almost certainly in the millions. [*The New Yorker* wrote](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/17/the-mastermind-behind-coachella) in 2017 that headliners Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead and Beyoncé — the last of whom later pulled out due to her pregnancy — were each earning "between three and four million dollars for playing." Other, lower-profile musicians didn't break $10,000. Coachella can (probably) afford it, having [grossed](https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8005736/coachella-festival-2017-114-million-gross) more than $114 million back in 2017. Arichella comes after a particularly busy, and lucrative, year for Grande. This past August, she released the album *Sweetener*, which got the equivalent of 231,000 sales in the week after its release, [according to the *New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/27/arts/music/ariana-grande-sweetener-billboard-chart.html). In February, she dropped *thank u, next*, which initially [pulled in](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/18/arts/music/ariana-grande-thank-u-next-billboard-chart.html) 360,000 album-equivalent units when traditional sales, downloads and streams were considered. Grande is currently on an 80-show tour, which is also sure to be a moneymaker. [Billboard reported](https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8053938/ariana-grande-dangerous-woman-tour-71-million) that her 2017 *Dangerous Woman* tour grossed $71 million. Grande has never shied away from talking about money. In the lyrics of her recent hit "7 rings," she boasts about having a black credit card, buying her friends jewelry, making big deposits and partaking in retail therapy. ([Side \[to side\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXiSVQZLje8) note: She isn't actually making much from "7 rings." Because the single samples the 1965 song "My Favorite Things," [Grande gave](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/business/media/ariana-grande-7-rings-rodgers-hammerstein.html) 90% of its songwriting royalties to the Rodgers and Hammerstein estate.) Overall, Ariana Grande's net worth is about $80 million, [according to the Celebrity Net Worth](https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/ariana-grande-net-worth/), which [bases its ballpark figures](https://theoutline.com/post/1399/how-google-ate-celebritynetworth-com?zd=1&zi=4pamewo2) on news articles and real estate records. Coachella will only add to that.
