From "Ordinary" to Extraordinary: John Legend's Staggering Net Worth Revealed

There is no doubt that John Legend is one of the most talented men around. After releasing his debut album, Get Lifted, in 2004, John quickly became a household name.

The album won a GRAMMY Award for Best R&B Album, setting the stage for the singer’s boisterous career. Since then, John has continued to produce hit after hit, with songs like "Ordinary People" and "All of Me" cementing his status as a musical icon.

In 2018, John became the first black male EGOT winner – a title given to performers with an Emmy, a GRAMMY, an Oscar, and a Tony.

“It's kind of surreal. It's something I never even thought about when I started my career,” John said after winning an Emmy for producing Jesus Christ Superstar Live (via Entertainment Tonight).

She added: “I probably wanted to win some GRAMMYs and sell a lot of records, and all that started happening pretty quickly, but I never dreamed that I would be here, winning an Emmy.”

John’s success has resulted in an impressive fortune that he shares with his loving wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their children. Here is a breakdown of John’s multimillion-dollar net worth.

John Legend’s bank account is stacked. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Grammy-winning singer has a $100 million net worth. This should not come as a surprise, as John has sold more than 7 million records worldwide, per Best Selling Albums.

John also got a big bag from selling his music catalog in 2022. Although the amount has not been disclosed, reports suggested that the singer received a huge payout.

Additionally, John has taken entrepreneurial risks by investing in tech startups and co-founding the production company Get Lifted Film Co. – which produced films like Jingle Jangle and Loudmouth.

After appearing on The Voice as an adviser to Adam Levine, John Legend joined the competition as a judge for Season 16.

He wasted no time staking his claim and was later crowned the Season 16 champion alongside singer Maelyn Jarmon. John is paid handsomely for his time on the reality show. According to OK Magazine, the “Greenlight” crooner is paid $13 million per season.

In addition to his career achievements, John appears to have a happy personal life. The singer has been married to model Chrissy Teigen since 2013, and they show no signs of slowing down.

“I fell in love with her over the phone because she is good with those 140 characters,” Legend told Entertainment Tonight.

He added: “Once we started spending more time together between tour stops and all this other stuff, we realized we had such a connection -- and then it blossomed into a marriage and a baby.”

The couple are now parents to four children, and they often show off their adorable brood on Instagram. John and Chrissy have also opened up about their struggles with conception after the model suffered the loss of a child during pregnancy in 2020.
