While she promises an imminent return to the forefront, how much does the fortune of Céline Dion – who had been very discreet in recent years due to a rare illness making her daily life extremely difficult – amount to is she today?
The symptoms of “stiff man syndrome” prevent it from being able to occur. Celine Dion, whose documentary “I am: Celine Dion” arrives this June 25 on Prime, however, did not have to worry about money, even if her treatment would cost her no less than 40,000 dollars per month.
Her personal fortune was in fact estimated at the end of May 2024 at 550 million dollars (or approximately 514 million euros), according to Forbes magazine which ranks her fifth in the top richest singers in the world, behind Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Madonna and Beyonce, and ahead of Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and Katy Perry.
If the Quebec star has sold more than 220 million albums, the income from his residency in Las Vegas would represent the majority of his fortune. His first Las Vegas residency, “A New Day,” was launched on March 25, 2003. According to the Los Angeles Times, the initial contract was worth $45 million for five nights a week of performances for three years, roughly the same amount she would have otherwise earned doing a forty-date tour at this point in her career.
Lucrative residences
Celine Dion was so successful in her Las Vegas residency that she was credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing the local economy in 2011. Many artists have since followed in her footsteps, including Mariah Carey , Britney Spears or even Adèle…
His 2019 residency brought in a whopping $681 million in ticket sales. During her residencies, Celine Dion would have actually earned more than $476,000 per show. According to figures reported by Parade, his tours have also been hugely successful, such as 2018’s “Greatest Hits,” which grossed more than $56 million, “Let’s Talk About Love,” which raked in $133 million, or again “Taking Chances”, which brought in 279.2 million dollars, one of the most profitable in History.
The best-selling Canadian artist of all time, Celine Dion has, among other things, released 27 studio albums, 19 compilation albums, and seven live albums. In addition to a phenomenally successful catalog, the singer of hits such as “My Heart will go on” is a savvy businesswoman.
She owns an accessories line and a perfume line, she was co-founder of the Canadian restaurant chain Nickels, she invested in the Pure nightclub in Las Vegas, and is co-owner of the Schwartz’s delicatessen chain. Perhaps more importantly, she co-owns (with her late husband Angélil) Feeling Productions Inc., an artist management company.
Singer Céline Dion and her husband René Angélil also owned numerous real estate properties in Florida, Las Vegas and Montreal. Exceptional properties worth tens of millions of dollars. In recent years, Céline Dion has resold some of them in Europe and North America.
Exception properties
In 2023, the famous singer would have made a nice capital gain by selling a home in Las Vegas. According to Capital magazine, the singer bought this property in 2017 for $9.2 million. Perpetually under construction, which is why she ultimately never lived in it, the villa, whose immense property included a golf course, was resold for around $30 million.
His impressive mansion in Los Angeles, once considered the most expensive house in the United States before being overtaken by that of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, would have (for a time at least) been put up for sale for $72 million. . Céline Dion also sold her golf club in Terrebonne, in the province of Quebec, consisting of 36 holes and called “Le Mirage”, resold for 20 million dollars, but also a castle on Gagnon Island in Canada, put on sale for $25.5 million in 2014. His mansion on Jupiter Island, Florida, was put on sale for $60.2 million, but would have, on the other hand, been sold for “only” $38.5 million in 2017. In 2023, it was the sale of his 632 m2 private mansion located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that caused a stir. To acquire it, a mysterious buyer would have paid 14.9 million euros, or 5.9 million more than what she had spent to acquire it in 2009.
However, the singer still owns many other valuable properties and assets, including a private jet. In June 2021, it was reported that she had “made the choice of Canadian excellence”, according to the site specializing in aviation Aeoraffaires, by falling for a model from the Canadian manufacturer Bombardier, the Global Express XRS. A true flying apartment, the device is equipped with a luxury bathroom and office, a home cinema, a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. An extraordinary property worth $42 million (around 33 million euros), which can transport up to 14 passengers.
Since revealing her rare neurological disorder affected her ability to sing and prevented her from performing on stage, Celine Dion had to cancel the remainder of her “Courage” world tour in order to focus on her health, but continued to receive large fees. If we do not know the amount of her salary for her participation, as an actress and on the soundtrack of the film “Love Again”, it is likely that the sum was substantial… Another recent source of income, her documentary also must have been sold at a high price… And his fortune is still likely to grow… A rumor announces it at the opening of the Paris Olympics. It is rumored that this service could enrich him by 2.7 million euros. Rine has not been confirmed but one thing is certain: her fans would be overjoyed to see her on stage again.
