Mariah Carey might be a household name but Nick Cannon is a one-in-a-million. He’s had a ton of success throughout his life, though that success has gone up and down over the years.
The original power couple, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon ended up divorcing after welcoming twins, Moroccan and Monroe. While Nick Cannon did get a fairly large settlement, it was still a painful experience leaving behind the life he and Mariah cultivated together.
While Nick's net worth while with Mariah exceeded his current net worth, the star has continued to make millions since, sparking the question, just how much is Nick and his family, sans Mariah, worth today?
Updated on May 30, 2021, by Michael Chaar: Nick Cannon first debuted on the music scene back in the 90s. The star has since expanded his brand to that of film, television, and music, all of which have allowed Cannon to amass a net worth of close to $60 million. While he has earned his worth through his many entertainment gigs, Nick received a whopping $10 million following his split from Mariah Carey. While his twins, Moroccan and Monroe will certainly be set for life, they'll have to split Nick's estate seven ways after it was revealed he is expecting his seventh child. In 2020, Nick's career took a hit when he was fired by Viacom, which definitely impacted his family's worth. Luckily for Nick, he is back at the top of his game and is only expected to go up from here.
His History Has A Lot To Do With It
Many celebrities have a diverse portfolio of incomes, which allows them to sustain their net worth even though things might be slow on the acting/music/entertaining front. We’ve seen this in many celebrities, and it’s one of the most reliable ways to keep a high net worth.
When it comes to Nick Cannon, it appears as if he learned that trick later in life. Despite not having things on lock at the start of his music and acting career, Nick has taken off when it comes to hosting and entertainment gigs, and he's never looked back!
Thankfully for the star, his net worth is $30 million, and his diverse skills are the very reason why he's managed to make so much. Nick has even gone on to call himself the "hardest working man in Hollywood" and he just might be!
When you ask people what Nick Cannon is famous for, most people will give different answers depending on what they grew up surrounded by. Some of us will know him from his stand-up comedy and acting work, which has been going since the early 2000s.
All while others will know him from his music, which goes all the way back to the late 90s when he was a member of the rap group, Da G4 Dope Bomb Squad. The group opened up for an array of acts, including Will Smith, 98 Degrees, and Montell Jordan, to name a few.
Still, some people know him from his biggest cash cow: Nickelodeon, and others will forever know him as Mariah Carey’s ex, which isn’t to be discounted in this discussion about net worth.
Following his divorce from Mariah, Nick reportedly demanded $30 million from the singer-songwriter, however, he walked away with $10 million, which is still quite the hefty figure!
TV Has Been Kind To Him
Nick Cannon practically guided and molded Nickelodeon through his own shows and comedy specials, and sustains a lot of his net worth through content that’s out there now, not to mention his more recent TV endeavors, such as hosting America’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer.
These shows have given him a huge boost net worth-wise, and are part of the reason for his sustaining fame, not to mention royalties from the shows that he has created, hosted, and produced!
Due to the divorce from Mariah Carey, it would be unfair to include her salary in his family’s net worth, however, she has contributed by providing a $10 million settlement from their split.
That, combined with his writing, hosting, and producing work, along with other appearances, Nick has made for a pretty solid net worth. Sure, he’s nowhere close to Mariah Carey’s level of net worth, but his now $60 million combined total worth is still quite a lot.
While the star is set to give most of his empire to Roc n Roe when the time comes, they won't be the only kids to inherit from the Cannon trust.
Nick is currently expecting his seventh child with model, Abby De La Rossa. This marks Nick's fourth child in the span of 4 years!
While Moroccan and Monroe will have to split Dad's growing net worth, at least they won't have to stretch Mariah's whopping $520 million net worth too far!
