In the US, Madonna is a well-known performer and artist. Although she is sometimes cited as an inspiration by other musicians, Madonna is best known for pushing the boundaries with her music, songwriting, imagery, and style. Madonna entered the music industry in the early 1980s with the release of three popular singles and a successful album between 1982 and 1984.
When she gave a no-holds-barred performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, she genuinely stunned the rock community. Her performance of “Like a Virgin” at the VMAs was one of the most divisive ones ever seen on television and is still highly discussed. For the musician, whose entire musical career has centred around pushing boundaries, it was also a turning point.
Madonna Net Worth
At the time of writing, Madonna has an estimated net worth of $850 million. Madonna earned $80,000 for her song “Desperately Seeking Susan” from 1985. The following year, she earned $1 million for the part she shared with her then-husband, Sean Penn. $1 million was worth around $2.3 million in today’s dollars in 1986.
She was paid a pitiful $35,000 for “Dick Tracy” in 1990. For “Body of Evidence” in 1993, she was paid $2.5 million, which was a high point in her film career. She offered to retain her entire wardrobe as well. In 1996, she was paid $1 million for her highly appreciated performance in “Evita”.
Madonna is also a shrewd businesswoman. She founded the entertainment company Maverick in a partnership with Time Warner in 1992, obtaining a $60 million advance as well as 20% of the profits from the music publishing division.
In the first several days after its release, her coffee table book “S*x” (1992), one of the first items from her Maverick company, sold 1.5 million copies for $50 each amid controversy and a strong negative reaction from the general public to the book’s explicit content.

Madonna’s Property
Not surprisingly, Madonna owns a sizable real estate portfolio that includes homes all around the world. She formerly held the sole ownership of SIX residences in London. Although it’s unknown how many she still possesses, it’s probable that some were traded to Guy Richie after their divorce.
For a number of years, Madonna has owned a home in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The 4 story, 57-foot width Georgian townhouse spans more than 12,000 square feet, with 26-rooms, including 13 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 9 fireplaces, 11 foot ceilings, a 38′ by 22′ drawing room featuring south windows overlooking the garden, a library, a Georgian staircase, an elevator, a double-car garage, a 3000 square foot garden with trees, roses, and rhododendrons, and plans in the future for a new rooftop garden.
In September 2017, Madonna spent just under $9 million for a 5.5-acre, 18th-century home in Sintra, Portugal. She owned a 6,000 square foot New York City penthouse for many years before selling it for $16 million in 2013.
She still possesses a smaller condo there that she purchased in 2008 for $7 million. She doesn’t, however, live there alone in New York City. In 2009, she spent $32 million on a 12,000 square foot home with a two-car garage, NINE fireplaces, a wine cellar, and an elevator. She also purchased a 50-acre horse farm in Bridgehampton, New York, for $7 million over the course of two transactions in 2010.
2003 saw Madonna spend $12 million on a stunning Beverly Hills home while she was still dating Guy Richie.
