The transition from acting to music was marked by her debut album, “Yours Truly,” which she released in 2013.

Early Life

Boca Raton, Florida, is where Grande was born on June 26, 1993. She began her journey into voice and acting during elementary school. In Florida, she showcased her talent with the Little Palm Theatre for Young People and later with the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater.

In 2008, she landed a role in the hit Broadway musical 13. This opportunity led her to leave high school and pursue homeschooling to participate in the production. Subsequently, in 2009, she was cast as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon’s sitcom Victorious. The show concluded its run with its final episode airing on February 2, 2013. She also made appearances on episodes of iCarly and lent her voice to Princess Diaspro in the Winx Club.

Success

Grande’s inaugural full-length album Yours Truly, originally named Daydreamin’, made its debut on August 30, 2013. Featuring collaborations with Big Sean and Mac Miller, it briefly reached #1 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart. The album reportedly sold between 100,000 and 120,000 copies during its opening week and achieved the #1 position on iTunes in over 30 countries almost immediately.

Her second studio album, My Everything, followed just a year later in August 2014, debuting1. The Billboard 200 saw her at #1, with an impressive 169,000 copies sold in the first week. Across her initial two albums, she achieved sales of over two million albums globally. Grande’s third solo project, Dangerous Woman, made its debut in May 2016.

Extensive global tours have also been a part of Grande’s career. Her Dangerous Woman tour reportedly grossed $71 million according to Billboard. (This figure reflects gross earnings rather than profits, yet it still secured its place as one of 2017’s highest-grossing tours worldwide.)

In 2019, she reached two #1 albums—Sweetener and Thank U, Next—within a span of six months. Notably, Grande became the youngest and only the fourth female artist to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019.

As of 2023, Grande has released six studio albums, with her most recent, “Positions,” launching in 2020.

Earnings

Grande’s yearly earnings from various ventures average between $20–30 million. From June 2018 to June 2019, she amassed $50 million. During her 34-stop Sweetener World Tour, she grossed (before tax) $1 million for each performance.

For her performances at California’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2019, Grande earned $8 million across both days.

Endorsements

In 2016, she partnered with Coach to launch a limited edition handbag, introduced a line of lip shades with MAC Cosmetics where all proceeds benefited the MAC AIDS Fund, started a fashion line with Lipsy London, and teamed up with Brookstone and artist Wenqing Yan to design cat ear headphones.

Becoming a brand ambassador for Reebok in 2017, she later collaborated with Starbucks for the launch of the Cloud Macchiato beverage in 2019. Givenchy, the luxury French fashion house, also named Grande the face of its Fall-Winter campaign in the summer of 2019.

Moreover, Grande has featured in commercials for Macy’s, T-Mobile, Apple, and her own fragrance lines.

r.e.m. beauty

Ariana granted exclusive licensing of her name, image, and likeness to Morphe Cosmetics and its parent company, Forma Brands, in December 2020. The line debuted soon after at Ulta Beauty, winning “Best New Brand” at the Allure Best of Beauty Awards in May 2022. In January 2023, it was disclosed that Ariana purchased the brand’s physical assets for $15 million after Forma Brands filed for bankruptcy earlier that month.

Fragrances

Multiple fragrances have been launched by Ariana Grande in partnership with Luxe Brands. Her fragrances have collectively brought in over $1 billion in gross revenue, largely driven by the popularity of three scents: Moonlight, Sweet Like Candy, and Ari by Ariana Grande.

Typically, celebrities receive an upfront fee for fragrance production, followed by a 5% royalty on gross sales. Thus, a 5% royalty on $1 billion in gross sales equates to $50 million. It’s plausible that Ariana’s royalty rate could be as high as 10% based on various benchmarks or exceeding a certain level of annual sales.

Personal Life

Joan Grande, the CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, and Edward Butera, who operates a graphic design firm, are Grande’s parents, and they are separated. She has an older half-brother, Frankie Grande, who works as an entertainer and producer.

Grande was in a relationship with actor Graham Phillips from 2008 until 2011. In 2012, she recorded “The Way” with the late rapper Mac Miller, leading to their relationship that lasted from 2016 until May 2018. After ending her relationship with Miller, she began dating actor and comedian Pete Davidson, with the two becoming engaged in June 2018 but subsequently deciding to part ways in October 2018.

In December 2020, Ariana announced her engagement to Dalton Gomez, a luxury real estate agent. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony at her Montecito home in May 2021. Her wedding dress photos became some of the most-liked posts on Instagram, accumulating over

25 million likes.

Raised as a Roman Catholic, Grande has since distanced herself from the church, citing her disagreement with its views on homosexuality. At the age of 12, she began following the principles of Kabbalah.

Regarding her health, Grande has revealed her hypoglycemic condition. Moreover, following the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, she opened up about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. In 2018, she shared on social media her decision to nearly withdraw from her performance in the television special A Very Wicked Halloween due to anxiety.

In November 2019, Grande publicly supported Senator Bernie Sanders’s second presidential campaign. She has been vegan since 2013 and, as of the latest update, is a proud owner of five dogs, many of which she has rescued.

Philanthropy

At the age of ten in 2003, Grande was one of the co-founders of the South Florida youth singing group Kids Who Care, which participated in fundraising events. This group successfully raised over $500,000 for charities in just 2007. In 2009, as a member of Broadway in South Africa, she performed and taught music and dance to youth in Gugulethu.

In the 2013 public campaign “Delete Digital Drama” by Seventeen, she appeared alongside stars Bridgit Mendler and Kat Graham, advocating against online bullying. That same year, her viewing of the documentary Blackfish prompted her to campaign against SeaWorld, urging fans to withdraw their support from the amusement park chain.

To assist homeless and LGBT youths, Grande performed alongside Miley Cyrus during the Happy Hippie Foundation’s “Backyard Sessions” in 2015. Furthermore, she took center stage at the Dance On the Pier event, which is part of New York City’s LGBT Pride Week.

Grande collaborated with Madonna in 2016 to gather funds for orphaned children in Malawi and partnered with Victoria Monét for the song “Better Days” to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

She organized the One Love Manchester concert to benefit the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing and released a live album from the event, raising a reported total of $23 million.

Additionally, Grande performed at A Concert for Charlottesville to aid victims of the August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, participated in March for Our Lives advocating for gun control in 2018, and donated the proceeds from the first show of her Sweetener World Tour to Planned Parenthood.

Real Estate

In the middle of 2020, Ariana invested $20 million in various real estate acquisitions within just one month.

For several years, Grande’s primary residence was a 6,000-square-foot house in Beverly Hills. This gated property offers sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and features an impressive outdoor seating area with a pool and hot tub. However, she has been renting this residence at an undisclosed price rather than owning it.

In June 2020, Ariana purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills for $13.7 million, which she later sold in October 2021 for $14 million. Here’s a video.

Take a look at that home:
