In the summer of 2019, he came in at number 87 on Forbes' list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities, taking in $40 million in the previous year. That year, he raked in an estimated $92 million due to the success of his Starboy album and the more than $1.1 million he earned for each stop on the album's world tour.Įven without touring, though, The Weeknd has continued to bring in millions every year. The numbers add up: In 2017, Forbes listed The Weeknd as the sixth highest-paid entertainer in the world.
How much is The Weeknd worth?Įxact figures aren't known, but The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, is believed to have a net worth somewhere between $80 million, per The Wealth Record, and $100 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth's analysis. Here's what we know about his overall net worth. The Super Bowl gig is famously unpaid-though it's been known to significantly boost album sales and streaming numbers-but that's no issue to The Weeknd, already a multimillionaire in his own right. In an interview with Billboard, his team confirmed that, on top of the millions of dollars in production costs put up by the NFL, he also shelled out $7 million from his own pocket to achieve his exact vision for the show. The Weeknd's halftime show will span about 12 minutes and, as he revealed in a press conference ahead of the performance, will be spread across the field and the stadium, a feat that has never been done before and is possible this year only because of the reduced attendance at the game. Next up, he'll take on one of the biggest, most influential gigs in the music industry: the Super Bowl halftime show, which is reserved for superstars only, from Beyoncé to Prince to, most recently, J.Lo and Shakira. He's sold tens of millions of albums, made headlines for dating some of the world's most famous women, and churns out songs so catchy that there's a good chance you're humming "Blinding Lights" as we speak. After nearly a decade in the global spotlight, The Weeknd is about as ubiquitous as the literal weekend.
