This page includes reported figures, not estimates of personal wealth. Tour grosses, ticket sales and box-office totals are not the same as net worth or personal earnings. We have not verified her assets or income, so none is stated here. Earlier versions of this page gave a net worth figure, a tour sell-through rate, Broadway pay ranges, Netflix deal estimates, comparisons with other people’s wealth and commentary on her personal life. The sources reviewed here do not support them, and they have been removed.
