[The Economist](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1623318&xcust=goodtoknow_gb_1981618649553175000&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.economist.com%2Fgraphic-detail%2F2017%2F11%2F30%2Fthe-music-industry-should-be-dreaming-of-a-white-christmas%3Ffsrc%3Dscn%2Ftw%2Fte%2Fbl%2Fed%2F&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goodto.com%2Fentertainment%2Fhow-much-does-mariah-carey-make-every-christmas) (opens in new tab) reported that Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas is You' made her $60 million between 1994 and 2016 in the U.S. In 2021, Ellie graduated from Cardiff University with a first-class degree in Journalism. It's played in shops and restaurants every festive season, and is also one of the tracks in everyone's favourite Christmas film, Love Actually. And while it's no known exactly how much she makes each festive period, it's bound to be a hefty sum, considering the money she will also receive from streaming services such as Spotify. It is widely thought that she makes about £380,000 just in the UK from the tune annually. Previously, she completed successful work experience placements with BBC Good Food, The Big Issue and the Nottingham Post, and freelanced as an arts and entertainment writer alongside her studies. "But that's why it's so popular — because it's so simple and palatable!" After posting a spectacular Halloween-to-Christmas transformation video on her Instagram on November 1st, everyone wants to know how much does Mariah Carey make every Christmas? This figure suggests an average of $2.6 million per year, but that's doesn't include UK royalties and streaming plays.

Mariah Carey tells USA TODAY about her deeply personal new children's book "The Christmas Princess" and upcoming TV series based on her memoir.

She hopes to bring that same sparkle to her fans – or as she calls them, "Lambs" – with the return of her famed Christmas concerts next month. "I'm trying to make (these shows) as magical as possible," Carey says. "I did start very young, and there's several passages of time we go through," Carey says. The set list will primarily feature tracks from her two Christmas albums – 1994's "Merry Christmas" and 2010's "Merry Christmas II You" – along with a few other songs that "I've never performed live before," she teases. But for now, she's reteaming with the filmmaker to develop a TV series inspired by her memoir. She begins the book with a letter to her younger self, writing, "No matter what things look like now, you are worthy and deserving of all the attention, love, protection, care, conditioner, and fancy dresses in the whole wide world." Carey traces her intense love for the holiday season back to her childhood. "It made me feel like a thing – it did not make me feel like a human being. "It's a short little book, but it really does have a deeper meaning." "When I'm not on stage and I'm in holiday mode, there are rules that I set," Carey says. In the memoir, she recounted being ostracized as a biracial girl growing up with a white mom and Black dad. "I don't care who it is – the kids, if I have guests, whatever – nobody is allowed to play or watch anything other than a Christmas-related thing.

From business partnerships to record deals and royalties, here's how the best-selling singer makes her millions.

When Carey made a [surprise cameo in a Walkers Crisps advert](https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/24/mariah-carey-paid-9-million-face-splashed-across-50-million-packets-walkers-christmas-crisps-10974347/), for instance, she was paid a reported £9m. ["that was the worst experience of my life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmpkkX5Qyw4&feature=youtu.be&t=495)… [her liquor brand Black Irish](https://www.rollingstone.com/product-recommendations/lifestyle/mariah-carey-black-irish-buy-online-1212942/) — she’s partnered with everyone from Pepsi to McDonald’s. On top of her creative endeavours, Carey started partnering with and endorsing brands in 2006. Though she was likely paid for all of these roles, Carey explained in The Meaning Of Mariah Carey that branching out into film was never about money. Not bad at all for a song which apparently [took 15 minutes to write](https://nypost.com/2014/12/13/8-things-you-didnt-know-about-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you/). Afterwards, Carey signed a huge five-year deal with Virgin, but left after a year with a [severance payment of $28m (£24.3m)](https://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/24/us/record-label-pays-dearly-to-dismiss-mariah-carey.html), following the poor performance of her soundtrack album Glitter. Charged with heartwarming, materialism-shunning sentiment, and hints of classic ‘60s pop, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” might’ve missed out on a UK number one back in 1994 (thanks to East 17) but unsurprisingly the genius single has endured as a festive favourite ever since. "I loved working on the film,” she said in the documentary. And don’t even get us started on the flawlessness of singles like “Fantasy,” “We Belong Together,” and “Always Be My Baby.” With Christmas rolling around again, Carey’s annual pay-day for “ [All I Want For Christmas Is You](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/best-covers-mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you)” is growing ever-closer, but the question is, just how does the artist make her millions, and what is her net worth? [scooped the singer a not-too-shabby](https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/11/30/the-music-industry-should-be-dreaming-of-a-white-christmas) $60m in royalties alone (around £52m) between its 1994 release, and their 2016 estimate. And because Carey takes a leading role in writing all of her music, [her royalty cut is an estimated 20%](https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB865203574355965500).

Mariah Carey is known as the Queen of Christmas and she isn't wasting a moment to get into the festive spirit.

She rose to fame in 1990 with her debut album and was the first artist to have her first five singles reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Mariah has now earned her the informal title of Queen of Christmas. It has now become tradition for Mariah to promote her mid-90s studio album throughout the last two months of the year. However, this began to change to a more festive snowy scene where Mariah was now sat on a reindeer and was wearing the iconic red bodysuit she wore on the cover of her 1994 Merry Christmas album. As a second said: " It’s officially that time of year!!!!," with another adding: " THE CHRISTMAS QUEEN HAS OFFICIALLY DEFROSTED." The video then transitioned to Mariah singing 'it's time' while her rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You began to play.

There are certain Christmas traditions upon which we can rely. Customers complaining because you don't have the right 'will this do' aftershave or perfume set.

The same twelve Christmas songs being played on a loop through a tinny PA system for eight weeks. Twitter was quick to embrace the 53-year-old’s message, with @eduardo_garcmol tweeting: “The Greeks had the myth of Persephone to account for the changing of the seasons and we have Mariah Carey”. In the tradition of Phil Spector and his 1963 ‘A Christmas Gift For You’ album, it’s a joyous slice of pop that has rightfully taken its place in the festive canon. The season of commerce waits for no man. Customers literally fighting with each other to get a pint of milk before the shop closes for a total of one day. Customers complaining because you don’t have the right ‘will this do’ aftershave or perfume set.
