Analysis of Meghan Trainor’s Net Worth

According to what has been estimated on various platforms, Meghan Trainor has a net worth of $8 million. For anyone that’s aware the singer publicly declared she was flat broke sometime in 2015, it would be difficult to believe she is a multimillionaire. When Meghan asserted she was broke, she had released her debut album which sold no fewer than 1.8 million copies across the globe. Being her debut album, it is true that the singer didn’t have much then, but things have changed. As typical with recording contracts, artists have to wait for several months after a release before they get their share of the revenue generated. Based on what the singer shared, she got a “big fat cheque after nine months” and it marked the beginning of her journey to financial freedom.

Proceeds from Record Sales Is The Biggest Source of Her $8 Million Net Worth 

No one needs to be told that Meghan Trainor’s career as a singer is the major source of her wealth. While she has been able to create other sources of income over the years, being a musician remains the prime reason she is popular and wealthy. Thus far her career has seen her release 28 singles, 24 music videos, 15 promotional singles, four studio albums, three independent albums, two extended plays, as well as two live albums. What this means is that the American singer has a robust body of work that has generated millions of dollars in record sales.

The singer released her first independent album, “Meghan Trainor”, on the 25th of December 2009. This was followed by “I’ll Sing with You” and “Only 17”, both released in 2011 and respectively on the 31st of January and 14th of September. On the 9th of September 2014, she released her first EP titled “Title” which sold over 171 thousand copies in the United States. The following year, precisely on the 9th of January, Meghan Trainor dropped her debut studio album. Also titled “Title”, the album attained multiple platinum certifications in the United States, Australia, and Canada. It also went platinum in Britain, Sweden, and New Zealand.

Since then, she has released three more studio albums: “Thank You” of 2016, “Treat Myself” and “A Very Trainor Christmas” both released in 2020. Before the 2020 albums, she released her second EP titled “The Love Train” in February 2019.

Meghan Trainor Has Also Made Millions from Concert Tours

For a singer who has sold millions of records across the globe, it would have been unusual if Meghan hasn’t tapped into the earning potentials offered by concert tours. Her career has seen her perform in various stages across the globe and it has contributed to her net worth in no small manner. The first tour she headlined was the That Bass Tour which kicked off on the 11th of February 2015 and ended on the 6th of June 2015. It was her debut concert tour and it saw Meghan perform in many venues across the United States, Canada, England, Germany, Japan, and several other countries. Her shows at the El Rey Theatre in the US on the 21st and 22nd of February grossed $38,500.

Almost as soon as the That Boss Tour came to an end, Meghan Trainor embarked on her second headlining concert. The MTrain Tour which was announced in March 2015 kicked off on the 14th of July 2015 at The Pageant in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, and ended on the 8th of August at the Saint-Jean Airport in Canada. She performed in a total of 13 concerts with about 16 canceled due to vocal cord hemorrhage.

Fully recovered, the All About That Bass singer embarked on her third headlining concert tour in support of her 2016 album, Thank You. It was in April 2016 that the Untouchable Tour was announced and it kicked off on the 14th of July 2016 at Ford Amphitheater in Nampa, Idaho. Apart from the United States and Canada, she also performed in Spain, pulling off a total of 31 shows that grossed over $2 million at the box office.

Income from Movies and Television Shows

Apart from making songs that span various genres from R&B to Pop, Doo-wop, and blue-eyed soul, Meghan Trainor plays musical instruments such as the bass guitar, ukulele, keyboard, trumpet, percussion, and piano. She also writes songs and it is said that she is motivated by Sinatra’s repertoire as a songwriter. Beyond her exploits in the music industry, Meghan Trainor’s net worth has also accrued from her appearances in movies and television shows.

The singer has had voice roles in Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) and Playmobil: The Movie (2019). She voiced Smurfmelody in the former and the Fairy god-mother in the latter. She has also appeared in notable TV shows either as a guest or judge, including The Voice, Undateable, and RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Meghan’s career is blooming and she’s making the best out of every single opportunity that comes her way. Having been decorated with over eight deserving awards, it is easy to predict that the young millionaire stands a good chance of tripling her fortune in the future. This beautiful singer-songwriter who has earned heavily from the sales of her music is bound to be worth more than $8 million in the nearest future.

The Singer Owns Two Luxury Homes In Los Angeles

In December 2020, it circulated that Meghan Trainor had acquired a mansion in Encino, Los Angeles for $6.6 million. She bought the home from TMG Fresh and it measures 9,936 square feet with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

She owns another property in Los Angeles, at Toluca Lake. The 6,700 square foot house has 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, in addition to other amenities you’d expect in the home of a celebrated singer like a spa, swimming pool, and what have you. She reportedly purchased the home for $4.9 million in 2016.

Career Achievements of Meghan Who Has Been Singing Since She Was Six

With her net worth estimated at $8 million, Meghan Trainor has come a long way from when she started singing at the age of six. As the story goes, Meghan began singing at that young age in a Methodist church alongside her father. Given that the man was an organist and a music teacher, it is not hard to see where the singer got her music genes. Meghan made it clear that she wanted to sing for a career and her family gave her all the support she needed. With little guidance from her father, she began writing and recording songs using GarageBand, a digital audio workstation software designed to help users create music or podcast.

At 12, she was part of a family cover band called Island Fusion which had her father, younger brother, and aunt as members. When Meghan turned 15, she had started producing her songs and by 17, she had independently produced and released three albums. After she had struggled for years trying to establish herself in the music industry, her breakthrough came in 2014 when she performed her song “All About That Bass” to an agent who introduced her to L.A. Reid, the CEO of Epic Records at that time. She again performed the song for Reid and he reportedly signed her a few minutes later.

Awards That Have Decorated Her Career

Meghan Trainor has received as much as 60 nominations for prestigious awards out of which she has won at least 14:
