SZA

Born Solána Imani Rowe aka SZA (stands for Sovereign Zig-Zag-Zig Allah) is a four-time Grammy winner American singer and songwriter who came from St. Louis, Missouri. As the net worth is finally revealed, the majority of these millions came through selling albums, singles, and collaborations while music tours play a key part in this aspect.

With over 11 Gold and Platinum-certified singles to her name by RIAA, SZA’s fifth song “Good Days” from her 2022 album “SOS” has reached 1.2 billion streams on Spotify recently. Moreover, “SOS” is also the first album by a black woman in history to spend over 90 weeks in Billboard 200’s top 20. SZA’s career features several prominent artists including Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, The Weekend, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and Rihana, in terms of collaboration and songwriting. Besides music, she used her fame to partner with major brands enlarging her popularity and wealth on a bigger scale.    

What Is SZA’s Net Worth?

As of 2024, SZA has a net worth of $6 million with four Grammys to her name.

Although been in the industry for over a decade, SZA finally started to make some serious money with her first studio album “CTRL” in 2017. In terms of popularity and sales, the album was a total hit. The album sold 3 million copies in the States alone, and 165,000 in other countries. On the other hand, her second studio album “SOS” sold 2.15 million units globally. 

Additionally, SZA became the fourth black female artist to gross over $100 million from a single tour. Her “SOS” tour amassed a total of $113,119,055 in revenue and earned $30 million on the North American leg of her “SOS” tour, however, only a certain percentage of that earnings went to her which is still a lot. She also has a 70/30 split in a joint deal with TDE and RCA Records contributing a massive payout to her net worth which is briefed in detail below. Beyond album sales and tours, SZA also mints hundreds of thousands of dollars from several endorsement deals with brands such as Cadillac, Calvin Klein, Crocs, and more. 

TDE & RCA Records Deal: Probably the best deal in SZA’s career is her partnership with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) and RCA Records. Reports suggest that currently, the “Kill Bill” singer receives a 70/30 split in a joint deal with TDE and RCA Records which is a giant deal for a newcomer like SZA. It’s best said in Jimmy Lovin’s words, who's a respected name in the record industry, “Five years ago, she gets 15 percent, 12 percent. [Now], They own everything and got a 70/30 split the other way. Cause they were able to build a buzz in technology on their own…”

What Is SZA’s Claim To Fame?

SZA’s meteoric rise to pop stardom leans heavily on her musical prowess that kept on blazing from 2017. Within just a 5-year span SZA broke several music records as well as tour records. Let’s take a closer look at her path to superstardom. 

• CTRL: The album that put SZA on the map is her first studio album “CRTL” released back in 2017, which was later certified as a 2x Platinum album. SZA’s “CRTL” secured #1, #2, and #3 spot on the "Billboard" Top R&B Albums chart, "Billboard" Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and "Billboard" 200 chart respectively. It was even included in the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list by “Rolling Stones” in 2020. As for sales, “CRTL” sold 3.165 million copies globally. 
• All the Stars from Black Panther: Following “CRTL’s” success, SZA landed one of the best collabs of her musical career in 2018. She got the chance to work with Kendrick Lamar on the “All the Stars” for the 2018 "Black Panther" soundtrack, which was later nominated for the Oscar. The song even got nominated for several Grammys, resulting in boosting SZA’s name to reach a wider scale of audience. 
• Kiss Me More: 2021 was a special year for SZA which started with her performance on Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” song. The song and her performance were a hit and it's also certified as a 5x Platinum song in the US. On top of that, SZA also won her first Grammy in the “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” category (Shared with Doja Cat). 
• The Coveted “SOS” Album: The final push that SZA's career needed came back in 2022 with the release of her second studio album “SOS”, launching her resume into the stratosphere. “SOS” made it to the top of the “Billboard 200” in its debut week while selling over 300,000 units. As a shocker, “SOS” stayed on top of the “Billboard 200” for 10 non-consecutive weeks marking it the first R&B album by a woman to hit the double-digit mark since Mariah Carey’s 1991 self-titled debut. On top of that, the “SOS Tour “ grossed $113 million, which helped her become the fourth black female artist to gross over $100 million from a single tour for her “SOS Tour”. 

Apart from SZA’s own musical path, she has collaborated with renowned artists over the years such as Travis Scott, Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Justin Timberlake, and more that blasted her musical prowess across a much wider audience. Moreover, She even wrote songs for Beyoncé and Rihanna. 

What Brands Has SZA Endorsed?

Originally, SZA always wanted to be a business mogul, which she said in an interview with British Vogue in 2018. She said, “I definitely wanted to be in business – I didn’t want to be in music. I thought I was going to have a really nice corner office, a lot of respect, and a power suit”. Despite such a turnaround from her initial goal, SZA made tons of money outside the music through brand endorsements which are listed below.

How SZA Spends Her Millions?

To be honest, given her rapid success in the industry, SZA’s net worth has many more opportunities to grow in the future. Currently, SZA’s spending habits haven't been under the spotlight, and $6 million is not that much, in respect to her fellow singers, to make big investments in anything. 

How Many Houses Does SZA Own?

Regarding SZA’s real estate portfolio, publicly there's no information online regarding this person's house, but it's hard to imagine a person with a net worth of 6 million not owning or even renting out a fancy house.

How Many Cars Does SZA Have in Her Collection?

There is no solid evidence available of how many cars the “Kill Bill” singer has in her car collection. However, we are sure about two cars that SZA personally owns.

• 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63: The most recent addition to SZA’s car collection is a 2019 AMG G63 that she has shown off on several occasions through her social media posts. One memorable post would be back in May 2023 as she took a photo of herself standing beside the G63 finished in silver-gray on the Beverly Hills road in LA. 
• 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport: Most probably the earliest ride in SZA’s garage would be the Jeep Wrangler Sport that she got as a gift from Top Dog Entertainment (TDE). The timeline goes way back to before her 2017 breakout album “CRTL”.
