JoJo Siwa's net worth: From Dance Moms to CBB, here's how the dancer has made her eye-watering fortune
We've been hearing JoJo Siwa's name quite a lot recently, following her Celebrity Big Brother appearnance in April. She's now said to be in a relationship with former Love Island star Chris Hughes, who she was pictured kissing while on holiday in Mexico. Prior to this, JoJo has had quite the career, and at 22, she's already a millionaire. But, what exactly is her net worth? And how did she make her millions? Read on for everything you need to know. According to Celebrity Net Worth, JoJo has an estimated net worth of $20 million (£14.8 million). JoJo rose to fame on Dance Moms, which she officially joined in 2014. She stayed on the show until 2016, and returned for a brief cameo in 2019. Back then, the dancer was known for her high energy and her bow wearing, which she was able to leverage into a successful YouTube career and partnership with Nickelodeon in 2016. She also went on to launch her own merchandise including popular hair bows, toys, and clothing. Forbes has estimated sales of $400 million (£336 million) for JoJo's hair bows alone. The pricing ranges from $5 to $16 per bow, which when making a conservative estimate, comes to $400 million. JoJo previously opened up about her business acumen, telling Forbes in 2020: "Early on, Nickelodeon wanted to have a meeting, where they discussed big business, and they wanted to do it without me. My Mom and I said, 'That's not how it works. We've been in this together since day one.' "And in that meeting Pam, who is the head of consumer products, said, 'Just so you know, if this t shirt doesn't sell then it's all over. That was why I didn't want you here.' Now, every time I see her I laugh and say, 'How'd that t-shirt sell?'" The t-shirt was a huge success, and JoJo has since launched multiple products. Since appearing on Dance Moms, JoJo has released songs including "Boomerang" and "I Can Make U Dance". In early 2024, JoJo Siwa made a bold return to music with the release of "Karma," her first major single in years. The song marked a dramatic shift from her signature, colourful look. While the transformation sparked mixed reaction, it introduced JoJo to a wider audience with the star hinting that the song is just part of a larger project that will continue to reflect her evolving creative direction. Over the years, JoJo has grown her YouTube channel to over 12million subscribers. She has over 2.4 billion views on YouTube, 8.6 million followers on Instagram, over 436,000 X (Twitter) followers, over 17.3 million followers on TikTok and over 572,000 likes on Facebook. Whoa that's a lot of numbers. Most recently, JoJo appeared on the 2025 series of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, from which she's said to have been paid a whopping £400,000 for the 19-day stint. An insider told The Sun: "US TV gigs generally pay a lot more than their UK counterparts, so JoJo's team will expect a minimum amount of money on the table to even consider the offer from CBB bosses." JoJo has also taken part in The Masked Singer, Celebrity Family Feud, and Dancing with the Stars as part of the show's first same-sex pairing with Jenna Johnson. She finished in second place and was reportedly given a signing on fee of $125,000 (£92,000), which can increase depending on how long the contestant remains in the competition, potentially reaching a total of up to $295,000 (£218,000). In February 2020, at just 16 years old, JoJo Siwa purchased a $3.5 million (£2.6 million) Mediterranean-style mansion in Tarzana, California. The 6,000-square-foot home featured a gourmet kitchen, French doors, a pool, and a sports court, as well as a "Fun Room" including a candy bar. JoJo sold the property for $4.1 million (just over £3 million) in February 2025. It's pretty clear the dancer and media personality is making bank, and if she continues with her popularity, Celebrity Net Worth predict that JoJo could be worth between $50-100 million pretty soon!

Eddie Murphy reveals his son and Martin Lawrence's daughter are officially married: 'We're in-laws'
Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter have made it official: Eric and Jasmin are married and their famous dads are now in-laws. "Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago," Murphy tells his Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson on Thursday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. (See the conversation in the clip below.) "They went off.... Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Murphy confirmed that he and Lawrence, his costar in projects such as Boomerang and Life, are now related by marriage. "Yeah, we're in-laws," he said. "And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now." The Coming to America star, who's a father of 10, had famously planned to have Lawrence pick up the tab on Eric and Jasmin's nuptials. (Lawrence is the father of three daughters.) "Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," Lawrence said in December 2024 on iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eric and Jasmin began dating in 2021, and they announced their engagement in November 2024. When Hudson asked whether Murphy had sung at the wedding, the "Party All the Time" artist shut her down. "No, they didn't have a wedding. They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher," Murphy said. "They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have like a big party or something." So will Murphy sing at the celebration? He joked that he and Lawrence might do a also hoping for a more professional reunion with the Bad Boys franchise star. "There's a bunch of ideas that we have," he said. "There's one thing: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a movie from the ʼ60s. I want to remake it and do with all the funniest, like a who's who of Black comedy. That's what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Comedy royalty Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have officially merged their entertainment dynasties. Murphy confirmed in an interview on Thursday's episode of "The Jennifer Hudson Show" that his son, Eric Murphy, and Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, "ran off and got married." "Actually they got married two weeks ago," Murphy revealed. "They went off — everybody was making their big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Eddie Murphy then joked that his "Life" and "Boomerang" co-star doesn't have "to pay for the big wedding now." It's unclear if the newlyweds were aware that Murphy would be mentioning that they got hitched on national television. Neither Eric Murphy, 35, nor Jasmin Lawrence, 29, posted about the private ceremony on their social media accounts. The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in November, posting video from the candlelit proposal. Although the pair opted for a private ceremony, Eddie Murphy told Hudson that they planned on throwing a "big party" to honor the newlyweds. The couple started dating in 2021, Lawrence told InTouch Weekly in an interview the following year. They met through her uncle, not their famous dads, she said. 'It wasn't even our dads, and they've done two movies together,' she told InTouch. 'They're friends. I don't even know. It's crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level.'
