Net Worth History

When we first began tracking Usher’s net worth in 2019, he was estimated to be worth $180 million. Since then, he hasn’t been very active on the music scene, and his last studio album, Coming Home, sold just 58,000 certified copies in the United States. The only real change came when HarbourView acquired his RBMG shares for $40 million. Additionally, his stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers has more than tripled in value, from roughly $15 million in 2019 to an estimated $48 million today.

These two factors alone have resulted in the steady growth of Usher’s fortune. At the time of writing, his net worth is approximately $220 Million.

Earnings History

In 2011, Forbes ranked Usher as the 12th-highest-paid musician in the world, with an estimated $46 million in earnings that year. Interestingly, this appears to be the only time he’s ever made the list. Usher’s annual income, at least as far as Forbes estimates are concerned, includes his music royalties, touring and concert revenues, album sales, and additional paychecks from television work. The figure above doesn’t account for unrealized investment gains, nor does it include capital gains from asset sales.

RBMG Records Sale

In 2022, HarbourView paid $40 million to acquire Usher’s stake in RBMG (Raymond Braun Media Group) Records. Usher co-founded the label in 2008 with talent manager Scooter Braun to manage singer Justin Bieber. Bieber, who was mentored by Usher early in his career, is the only artist to have signed with RBMG. Other than Usher himself.

Cleveland Cavaliers Investment

In 2005, Usher partnered with billionaire Dan Gilbert’s investment group in its acquisition of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team. The group reportedly paid $375 million for the franchise, and Usher invested $9 million for a 1% stake. At the time of writing, the team’s valuation is estimated at $4.8 billion, with annual revenue of $440 million. Assuming that the singer still owns his share, it would be worth roughly $48 million today. Other celebrities, such as NFL player Myles Garrett, have also invested in the franchise in recent years.

Real Estate

It appears as though Usher previously rented a 6,536-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Atlanta, Georgia, in the mid-2010s. By the looks of it, he was paying $14,000 per month to rent the property, which is now valued at approximately $3.3 million.

In February 2021, Usher paid $3.87 million for a 9,974-square-foot, six-bedroom, nine-bathroom property in Atlanta. This home, which sits on 1.58 acres, is now estimated to be worth $4.85 million.
