Cher’s Net Worth: How Much Does She Have?
Cher boasts a net worth of $360 million, establishing her as an American singer, actress, and television personality. This iconic figure has had a career spanning many decades, selling over 100 million records and earning the title of one of the world’s best-selling musical artists. Among her impressive list of accolades are a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and an honor at the Cannes Film Festival. Notably, she is commemorated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work as part of the Sonny & Cher duo.
She kicked off her stardom in the mid-60s as one half of the renowned Sonny & Cher duo, transitioning to television with shows like the “Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour” and later, the “Cher” show in the ’70s. Cher captivated audiences with her performances in films like “Silkwood,” “Mask,” “The Witches of Eastwick,” and “Moonstruck,” for which she clinched an Oscar for Best Actress. Her music career also skyrocketed with hits like “Heart of Stone.” Cher stands out as the only artist to achieve Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe wins, along with a Cannes Best Actress honor, and landing a #1 song on the “Billboard” charts in every decade of the past six decades.
Cher’s Early Days
Born as Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California, Cher weathered her parents’ divorce when she was just ten months old. Growing up, she traversed California, New York, and Texas with her mom. By the age of sixteen, she had already left school to venture to Los Angeles, where she delved into acting classes and danced in clubs to make ends meet.
The Sonny & Cher Era
Cher crossed paths with entertainer Sonny Bono in 1962, initially working as his housekeeper. Their bond paved the way for her leap into the music world as a backup singer, eventually blossoming into the iconic duo Sonny & Cher. Their debut single, “I Got You Babe,” released in July 1965, catapulted Cher to stardom.
Soaring to Stardom
Not slowing down, Sonny & Cher’s inaugural studio album, “Look at Us” (1965), secured five tracks in the “Billboard” Top 50 simultaneously, a feat previously achieved solely by the Beatles and Elvis Presley. While immersed in the Sonny & Cher whirlwind, Cher simultaneously nurtured a flourishing solo career. Under Liberty Records’ Imperial label, she dropped albums like “All I Really Want to Do” (1965), “The Sonny Side of Cher” (1966), and “Chér” (1966). Her 1966 solo hit “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” marked her first million-copy-selling single.
As Sonny & Cher’s popularity waned, Cher thrived solo. Her 1969 project “3614 Jackson Highway” marked her first endeavor sans Sonny’s influence. The duo’s television program, “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour,” took off in 1971. After a tumultuous divorce from Sonny in 1975, Cher’s solo career soared, landing a $2.5 million deal with Warner Bros. Records. While the “Stars” album (1975) faced critique, it has since gained a cult status.
Cher’s TV foray continued with her eponymous show in 1975, followed by a professional reunion with Sonny on “The Sonny and Cher Show” (1976-1977). Her musical journey comprises over twenty studio albums, including a lucrative Las Vegas residency from 1980 to 1982, hauling $300 thousand weekly. In 2008, she headlined for three years at the Colosseum at Caesars, reportedly raking in $180 million from the stint.

Navigating the Acting Realm
Cher’s acting debut arrived in works like “Good Times” (1967) and “Chastity” (1969), both in collaboration with Sonny, albeit without significant success. Director Robert Altman’s casting in the Broadway production “Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean” in 1976 laid the groundwork for her film trajectory, reprising her role in the 1982 film adaptation. Cher credits Altman for catapulting her acting journey. She later established her production firm, Isis, in 1985, captaining films such as “Mask” (1985), “The Witches of Eastwick” (1987), “Moonstruck” (1987), “Mermaids” (1990), “Tea with Mussolini” (1999), and “Burlesque” (2010). Her role as Ruby Sheridan in “Mama Mia! Here We Go Again” (2018) and voice work in “Zookeeper” (2011) and “Bobbleheads: The Movie” (2020) sustained her acting prowess.
Diverse Ventures
Beyond her artistic feats, Cher’s fashion campaign stints, including the Dsquared2 spring/summer advertising campaign in February 2020, and fragrance launches like Cher Eau de Couture (2019) and Uninhibited (1987) highlight her multifaceted career. Amid health challenges in the early ’90s, she starred in infomercials promoting health, beauty, and diet products, reaping an estimated $10 million in earnings.
Cher embodies a philanthropic spirit, actively supporting causes benefiting children, veterans, soldiers, and the environment. Her philanthropic endeavors extend to partnering with Habitat for Humanity and running The Cher Charitable Foundation, backing projects like the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Operation Helmet, and the Children’s Craniofacial Association.

A Glimpse into Cher’s Personal Life
Formally tying the knot with Sonny Bono in 1969, Cher welcomed their child Chaz Bono (born Chastity Bono) in March that year. By February 1974, Sonny filed for separation, citing “irreconcilable differences,” met with Cher’s counterclaims, kickstarting a tumultuous phase.
In a divorce suit, she accused him of withholding money and depriving her of some of their shared earnings, resulting in a court battle over finances and custody of their child that was settled in June 1975.
Cher dated record executive David Geffen during her divorce from Sonny. Shortly after finalizing her divorce, she married musician Gregg Allman, but the marriage only lasted nine days before they filed for divorce. They reconciled and had a son, Elijah Blue, together in July 1976. Cher and Allman eventually divorced in 1979. Throughout her life, Cher has been romantically linked to notable figures such as Gene Simmons, Eric Stoltz, Tom Cruise, and Richie Sambora. Cher’s real estate portfolio includes properties worldwide with an estimated total value of $100 million. One of her prized possessions is her Italian villa in Malibu, valued between $50-70 million. Though often revered as a gay icon, Cher’s fan base transcends boundaries, making her a timeless celebrity active in both philanthropy and entertainment.

Real Estate
Cher has owned various homes worldwide, particularly in Los Angeles. For instance, the Beverly Hills estate she shared with Sonny Bono was sold for $90 million in September 2016.
In 2006, Cher purchased a $4.5 million condo at the renowned Sierra Towers in LA, which she redesigned with a Buddhist theme. The condo boasts high ceilings, arched entryways, Bell Jar ceiling fixtures, and other “Eastern” design elements. Cher listed this unique unit for sale in February 2015, eventually selling it for $5.25 million. Prior to Cher, the condo was once owned by David Geffen.
Her principal residence for the last thirty years has been a breathtaking Italian Renaissance-style mansion in Malibu, overlooking the ocean. Situated on a 1.7-acre bluff, the property features a three-story, 13,000 square-foot main house, a tennis court, a pool, and a guest house. Cher acquired the undeveloped land for $2.95 million in 1989, and construction was completed in 1999.

In August 2008, Cher listed her Malibu mansion for $45 million, later increasing the price to $85 million in October 2022 before lowering it to $75 million in March 2023.
Previously, Cher owned a bay-front property in Key Biscayne, Florida, which she sold for $8.8 million in 2006. In 2019, she sold a Beverly Hills home at a slight loss for $2.073 million.
