Kelly Clarkson net worth - Having been the first ever winner for "American Idol," Kelly Clarkson would somehow be worth millions. Though she might not be worth a hundred million dollars, the singer and songwriter is still Forbes' "Idol" top earner. So, how much is Clarkson worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kelly Clarkson's net worth is at $28 million. Most of her millions came from her win as "American Idol's" first winner in 2002. Afterwards, Kelly starred in the "American Idol" film alongside Justin Guarini entitled "From Justin to Kelly."

Since her win, Kelly Clarkson's net worth has gone nowhere but up. Her album sales reached critical acclaim with almost 11 of her singles included in Billboard's Hot 100. In fact, her hit single, "My Life Would Suck Without You" jumped from the 97th to the 1st spot in just a week.

Additional reports and research by Nielsen SoundScan claim that Clarkson is ranked at 187 in the top 200 albums. While she is yet to release another album this year, she has already released around six studio albums adding to Kelly Clarkson's net worth.

The Richest however states that Kelly Clarkson's net worth is at $29 million, which is one million higher than that of Celebrity Net Worth. Clarkson is the only worthy rival to another "American Idol" winner, Carrie Underwood.

In comparison to Kelly Clarkson's net worth, Underwood is worth $70 million. Even with an incomparably higher earning, both Clarkson and Underwood have been included in Forbes' list of top 10 earning "American Idols." Clarkson ranks at number six having earned $2-5 million in a year.

Kelly Clarkson's net worth is certainly something she had worked hard for. The songstress opened up about having money after growing up in a poor household. For Clarkson, having loads of money on the table surely "solves a whole hell of a lot."
