How Much Is Alicia Keys Worth?

How much is Alicia Keys worth? Alicia Keys is worth $45 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and that’s a fortune that befits this super talented, mega-successful R&B singer, songwriter, producer, pianist, and actress. Keys is living large now, but she’s come a long way from Hell’s Kitchen, the New York City neighborhood where she was born on January 25, 1981. As a child, Keys displayed talent from an early age, and after appearing on “The Cosby Show” at the age of four, she enrolled in the world famous Professional Performance Arts School of Manhattan, where she graduated valedictorian at the age of 16. Keys’ big breakthrough came in 2001, when she dropped her debut, “Songs in A Minor,” an album spawned the hits “Fallin'” and “You Don’t Know My Name,” earned her five Grammys and made her a star around the world.

Alicia Keys’ net worth has presumably kept going up and up and up ever since, as she’s followed “Songs in A Minor” with four mega-selling albums. The most recent, 2012’s “Girl On Fire,” arrived after Keys gave birth to son Egypt, her first child with producer Swizz Beatz. In all, Keys has sold an estimated 75 million records around the globe, and in the United States, she’s landed five singles atop the Billboard charts.

How much is Alicia Keys worth compared to other R&B giants? She’s not quite on par with Beyonce, who’s sitting on a cool $350 million, according to reports, and she’ll have to double her money if she wants to catch Rihanna, who’s net worth is said to be $90 million. But Keys is worth more than Ciara, who’s got $15 million to her name, and Keri Hilson, who boasts a $25 million nest-egg. And since Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz, has a net worth of $65 million, it’s safe to say Alicia and her family won’t be starting anytime soon.
