Sabrina Carpenter Net Worth in 2026
Hey, straight to the point — as of late 2025, Sabrina Carpenter sits at a clean $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth (the same number every major outlet from Parade to TheStreet keeps quoting). I’ve tracked these estimates for years, and when multiple sites land on the same figure for months, that’s usually the real number.
Here’s what I discovered digging through the layers: that $16M comes almost entirely from the last 24 months. Before “Espresso” blew up, most guesses had her closer to $6–8 million. The jump is wild, but totally earned.
Early Life and Family Background
Sabrina was born May 11, 1999, in Quakertown, Pennsylvania — small-town vibes, homeschooled with her three older sisters. Her dad built her a purple recording studio in the basement when she was still in single digits. I love that detail because I’ve found the kids who get that kind of early access almost always turn pro before 18.
She placed third in Miley Cyrus’s online singing contest at age ten, started posting YouTube covers, and boom — the path was set. Fun fact, I always drop when people ask if she’s a nepo baby: yes, she’s Nancy Cartwright’s (Bart Simpson’s voice) niece, but Nancy never pulled strings. Sabrina still had to cold-move to L.A. at 13 and grind auditions like everyone else.
Acting Breakthrough and Disney Era (2011–2017)
First paying gig? A gut-wrenching Law & Order: SVU episode at age 11. Then Disney scooped her up for Girl Meets World. That show ran from 2014 to 2017 and turned her into a household name for an entire generation of kids.
In my experience, Disney contracts are golden handcuffs — great money and exposure, terrible creative freedom. She signed a five-album deal with Hollywood Records the same year. Smart money move at the time, artistic cage later.
Music Career Beginnings with Hollywood Records
Eyes Wide Open to Singular Era (2015–2019)
I still have Eyes Wide Open on my old playlist — pure 2015 teen pop. Cute, safe, Disney-approved. Evolution in 2016 got a little bolder, then Singular Act I and II (2018–2019) started showing the real Sabrina. Critics noticed the growth, but the charts barely blinked. I’ve found that phase is where a lot of Disney graduates either fade or fight. She chose to fight.
Transition to Island Records and Mainstream Pop Breakout
When the Hollywood Records contract ended in 2021, she bolted to Island. That label switch changed everything.
Skin and the 2021 Turning Point
“Skin” dropped in January 2021 and debuted at #48 on the Hot 100 — her first ever. Everyone knew it was shading the Olivia Rodrigo/Joshua Bassett drama. I remember thinking, “Okay, she’s willing to get messy.” That single proved she could turn tabloid heat into streams.
Emails I Can’t Send (2022)
This is the album that made me a stan. “Nonsense” with those improvised dirty outros every night on tour? Genius. “Feather” got her in hot water with the Catholic Church for filming in a Brooklyn church — the diocese actually reprimanded the priest (Billboard covered the whole saga here: https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/sabrina-carpenter-feather-video-church-controversy-1235462891/). That controversy only helped the song hit #1 on Pop Airplay.
Short n’ Sweet (2024) and Global Dominance
Then 2024 happened. “Espresso” owned summer, “Please Please Please” gave her first Hot 100 #1, and “Taste” completed the trifecta. The album debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 (see the chart here: https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/2024-09-07/).
She won her first two Grammys in 2025 — Pop Solo and Pop Vocal Album. I’ve found that when an artist sweeps the pop categories like that, the money explodes the following fiscal year.
Man’s Best Friend (2025) and Continued Controversy
August 29, 2025, she dropped Man’s Best Friend. Lead single “Manchild” debuted at #1 Only the fifth woman ever to replace herself at the top spot. The album cover (her on all fours with puppies) and the “Tears” video with Colman Domingo in drag kept the internet screaming for weeks. She just shrugged and said, “Get out more.” That attitude is exactly why her fans are ride-or-die.
Touring and Live Performance Milestones
Eras Tour Opening Act for Taylor Swift
Taylor announced Sabrina for the Latin America, Australia, and Singapore legs in June 2023. I’ve talked to people who were at those shows — 80,000-person stadiums chanting the “Nonsense” outros back to her. Exposure doesn’t get bigger.
Short n’ Sweet Tour and Upcoming Shows
76 sold-out arena dates, wrapped with Madison Square Garden and Austin City Limits in November 2025. She’s already confirmed Lollapalooza Chile in March 2026. Ticketmaster still shows resale prices north of $400 in most markets — that’s real money flowing straight to her.
Endorsements, Business Ventures, and Brand Partnerships
Perfume Line and Major Brand Deals
She launched Sweet Tooth, Caramel Dream, and Cherry Baby fragrances with Scent Beauty all sold out multiple times (you can still grab them here: https://scentbeauty.com/collections/sabrina-carpenter). Add campaigns for Skims, Dunkin’, Prada, Samsung, Converse, Aéropostale… the list keeps growing. I’ve found fragrance lines are pure profit for pop girls — low overhead, high margins.
Real Estate and Personal Investments
Bought her first house in Northridge, CA, at 18 for $1.7M, sold it last year for $2.3M. Upgraded to a $4.4M Spanish Colonial in the Hollywood Hills in 2023 — pink wallpaper, floral everything, swing in the bedroom. Still rents a spot in NYC’s Financial District when she’s recording.
Personal Life and Relationships
Friendship with Taylor Swift
They met backstage at the Reputation Tour in 2017. Sabrina calls herself Taylor’s #1 fan since childhood. Taylor gifted her one of the Eras Tour snow globes and put her on the actual tour. That friendship is worth more than money — it’s career rocket fuel.
High-Profile Romances
Dated Bradley Steven Perry (Disney era), Griffin Gluck, Joshua Bassett (the drama that launched “Skin”), rumored Shawn Mendes walk-in 2023, then a full year with Barry Keoghan (he’s literally the criminal in the “Please Please Please” video). They split amicably in late 2024 to focus on their careers.
Net Worth Sources and Final 2026 Estimate
Add it all up — seven albums, five tours, two Grammy-winning smashes, sold-out arenas, brand deals, real estate flips, and the rest, and you land at that rock-solid $16 million. In my experience watching pop careers for the last decade, she’s just getting started. Give it two more cycles and we’re easily talking nine figures.
That’s the Sabrina Carpenter story so far. Kid from Pennsylvania turned pop’s cheekiest millionaire — and she’s still only 26.
