Mary J. Bilge Net Worth Expected To Sky-Rocket After Her Super Bowl Performance

Mary J. Blige sang at the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, and she can definitely anticipate her net worth to increase as a result (and not thanks to a performance fee, because the NFL doesn’t pay!). But, before we talk about the Super Bowl money, let’s take a look at Mary’s bank account.

She’s worth around $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, thanks to a very remarkable career—and her monthly earnings are a whopping $300,000 (according to divorce documents). Mary’s had some money issues with the IRS and the state of New Jersey over the years, but they appear to be mostly resolved now.

Nothing, technically, because the NFL does not pay entertainers. They justify their lack of payment by claiming that the Super Bowl provides Halftime performers with a big platform as well as significant post-show jumps in music sales.

Remember when Shakira and J.Lo did a concert together in 2020? Jennifer Lopez’s streams reportedly increased by 335 percent, while Shakira’s increased by 230 percent. Meanwhile, Billboard claimed that sales of the songs they sang increased by 1,013 percent the day of the Super Bowl, with 16,000 digital downloads sold, up from roughly 1,000 the day before.

In other words, Mary J. Blige (and the rest of the Halftime Show performers) will be paid a lot of money simply for performing. Yes, Mary released new music just in time for this historic performance. Good Morning Gorgeous, her first album in five years, is out now, and you can know it’ll be selling like hotcakes after tonight!

With such a successful profession, Mary J. Blige’s life may appear to be perfect. Mary J. Blige: My Life, a 2021 Amazon documentary, reveals that things weren’t always that perfect for Blige. The film delves into the darkest aspects of Blige’s life, including when she was abused by a family friend when she was five years old. The actress explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that experiencing the “pain” of her past was “heavy” work, but essential.

Blige is now on the other side of it all, and her life is full of riches. This, of course, includes her monetary earnings.
