Additionally, she featured in episodes of iCarly and lent her voice to Princess Diaspro in Winx Club.

Her second studio album, My Everything, followed one year later, in August 2014. It debuted169,000 copies sold in its first week, landing at #1 on the Billboard 200. Between her initial two albums, over two million albums were sold globally. In May 2016, Grande launched her third solo album, Dangerous Woman.

Extensively touring the world, Grande saw significant success. Her Dangerous Woman tour reportedly grossed $71 million, as noted by Billboard. (This figure represents gross earnings rather than profits, yet it still ranked as one of the top-grossing tours in 2017.)

During 2019, she achieved two #1 albums—Sweetener and Thank U, Next—released within six months of one another. Additionally, Grande became the youngest and the fourth female artist to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019.

Fragrances

Collaborating with Luxe Brands, Ariana Grande has introduced several fragrances. To date, her fragrance line has amassed over $1 billion in gross revenue, predominantly driven by three fragrances: Moonlight, Sweet Like Candy, and Ari by Ariana Grande.

Typically, celebrities receive an upfront fee for producing a fragrance, followed by a 5% royalty on gross sales. Therefore, a 5% royalty on $1 billion in sales would yield $50 million. Ariana’s gross royalty percentage might even reach 10%, depending on various milestones or sales thresholds.

Grande’s parents, Joan Grande, CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, and Edward Butera, a graphic design firm owner, are no longer together. She has an older half-brother, Frankie Grande, who works as an entertainer and producer.

Ariana revealed her engagement to luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez in December 2020, and they wed in a private ceremony at her Montecito home in May 2021. Photos from her wedding dress received immense popularity on Instagram, becoming some of the most-liked posts ever, garnering more than

25 million likes.

Raised as a Roman Catholic, Grande later distanced herself from Catholicism, citing her disagreement with the church’s viewpoint on homosexuality. Since age 12, she has embraced Kabbalah teachings.

However, she does not own this property as she has been renting it at an undisclosed price for several years.
