Cher's staggering net worth proves how powerful and influential she is as a musician, but she reportedly could have earned more.
Celebrity Net Worth estimates Cher's net worth to be around $360 million after selling over 100 million records, making her one of the best-selling artists in the world. She started her career in the 1960s, and she continuously flourished in the years thereafter.
Cher's Net Worth Could Have A Whole Lot More
Speaking in an interview with Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2's Tracks of My Years, Cher revealed that she lost millions after making a mistake while recording "Believe" in the 1990s. She reportedly became "too stupid" to ask for her contribution to the song's lyrics, resulting in her losing supposed earnings.
"You can't even imagine - about 30 people wrote on it. And I wrote it and was so stupid - I didn't even ask to get a writer's credit! I wrote, 'I've had time to think it through, and maybe I'm too good for you," she shared.
"Believe" listed Timothy Powell, Steven Torch, Matthew Gray, Stuart McLennen, Brian Higgins and Paul Barry as the official songwriters.
She lamented, "A chick can be upset for one verse but not two, not on one of my songs. I could have gotten a lot of money."
