Lizzo — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Lizzo has an estimated net worth of $40 million as of 2026. Born Melissa Viviane Jefferson in Detroit and classically trained as a flautist — she plays flute on stage during performances — she built her career independently before Truth Hurts (2017) became a viral phenomenon in 2019, two years after release, when it went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first song by a Black female rapper to reach number one in 58 years. She won four Grammy Awards in 2020 including Best Contemporary Urban Album for Cuz I Love You. She co-founded Yitty, a shapewear brand through a partnership with Fabletics, which has grown into a significant business. Her body positivity advocacy has made her one of popular music's most prominent voices on self-acceptance.
