Carrie Underwood is a household name beyond the country music scene, but she'll totally be in her element on Nov. 8 at the Country Music Awards. The singer is nominated for the coveted "Entertainer of The Year" award, alongside other notable country stars like Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson.

While her fans think she was a bit snubbed at this year's awards, this country queen can really can do it all. Since winning American Idol shot her to fame in 2005, she's become a Grammy-award-winning singer, a mom of two, a fitness buff, and a TV host. Oh, and let's not forget this mogul created and sold her own athleisure company, and pulls in a ton of dough while on tour. Basically, the 40-year-old has a lot of money-making endeavors that add up to a pretty big number in her bank account.

Overall, she's worn many hats (not just ones fit for a cowgirl), which has helped her rake in a cool amount of cash. Curious to know how Carrie makes it big? Women's Health has all the details on her net worth and ventures:

What is Carrie Underwood's net worth in 2023?

NBD, just about $140 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That's a nice chunk of change (to say the least). In 2019, she was only worth $85 million, which means this star has been putting in the work over the past four years.

Carrie Underwood earns around $18 million a season for Sunday Night Football.

Carrie replaced singer Faith Hill as the performing artist for the Sunday Night Football theme in 2013, which is kind of a big deal. This year marks the singer's 11th consecutive season with the gig, per Rolling Stone.

She reportedly makes $1 million per week (or $18 million a season) for that gig, per Celebrity Net Worth, although the claims haven’t been proven. And, since she's returning this season—get ready for a huge increase in the star's net worth.

She started a fitness clothing line that she later sold.

CALIA was started by Carrie in 2015, and boasts everything from comfy leggings to jackets and swimwear. CALIA is available at DICK's Sporting Goods and, according to Fortune, it's the third most popular brand at the chain.

In 2021, Carrie shared on Instagram that after six years, she was leaving the brand. And, while it’s not clear exactly how much she made when she sold her stake in the company, it’s safe to say that she likely made a decent chunk of change.

"I am so proud of everything we’ve created and built, and look forward to seeing where CALIA goes from here!" she wrote. "I’m excited about all the future has to bring! ❤️💪."

Carrie Underwood has sold over 85 million records.

Carrie has been in the music game for a loooong time. The country star has put out 10 (yep, 10) studio albums, and most of them have been incredibly popular, according to All Music.

In recent years, she's been cranking out album after album, with a new one in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Carrie has had one song on the No. 1 Top hits on Billboard Top 100, and four songs on the Top 10 Hits, per Billboard.

Overall, Carrie has sold over 85 million records, according to her website, and released 28 number one singles. What's more, she has seven albums that are certified multi-platinum or platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. So, she's probably scored a lot of dough from all that success.

Carrie Underwood has earned over $200 million from touring.

She's a performer at heart (after all, Carrie got her start on American Idol), and her concerts are a huge moneymaker for her. Case in point: Carrie's Cry Pretty tour raked in $50 million back in 2019, according to Billboard. But her highest grossing tour was the Storyteller Tour in 2016, which earned around $58.1 million.

And most recently, she wrapped up her Denim & Rhinestones tour (the album's "Deluxe Edition" came out in September 2023) which kicked off on October 15, 2022, in Greenville, South Carolina, and stopped in 43 cities before she finished her final show on March 17. While numbers for this tour aren't public yet, it likely pulled in a similar amount to her Cry Pretty tour.

Currently, Carrie is hard at work on her Las Vegas residency, and just added new dates through December 2023. She's been crushing it in Vegas since December 2021, and returned in June after her touring hiatus. Overall, Billboard estimates Carrie's gross income from touring is around $273.1 million. Phew.

How much is Carrie Underwood's husband net worth?

Carrie’s husband, retired NHL star Mike Fisher, isn’t hard up for cash, either. He’s worth $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. So, together, they're worth just shy of $200 million.

Carrie Underwood also makes money from endorsements.

Even if you're not a country music fan, you probably recognize Carrie's voice from her Sunday Night Football commercials. She is also a spokesperson for the anti-bullying campaign Choose Kindness and was a global brand ambassador for beauty brand Almay. All those promotional deals mean dolla-dolla bills in her already well-stocked bank account.

Carrie has a fitness platform.

Carrie launched the Fit52 fitness app in 2020, and it's still going strong with over 500,000 users, per the App Store.

The app is a collaboration with Carrie’s longtime trainer, Eve Overland, and features a “wide variety of workout routines that can be done in as little as 30 minutes,” according to Carrie’s official website. Users can pay $69.99 per year or $14.99 per month for a subscription.

How much did Carrie Underwood make from her book?

Yup. Is there anything this woman can't do? In March 2020, Carrie released her first book, Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life—which, you guessed it, is connected to her fitness app.

<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062690914?tag=syn-yahoo-20&ascsubtag=%5Bartid%7C2140.a.29715134%5Bsrc%7Cyahoo-us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life</p><p>amazon.com</p><p>$15.01</p>

The book peaked at No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list, and details the singer's path for being healthy 52 weeks a year.

How much did Carrie Underwood make from American Idol?

Way back when (a.k.a. in 2005), Carrie took home 1st place on American Idol season 4. While the exact amount of money she won hasn’t been publicly disclosed, The New York Times reported that, at the show's height, winners earned about $1 million. And since Carrie's season took place during peak Idol days, it's possible she pocketed roughly $1 million.

And, in 2014, Forbes declared her the most successful winner of the series to date. Yup. She was ranked even higher than Kelly Clarkson.

How much are Carrie Underwood's houses worth?

Carrie and her husband purchased 400 acres of land in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2011 for about $3 million, per Variety and Hello!. From there, the couple built their home from the ground up, adding in private horse stables, a lake, greenhouse, and a beautiful garden (a.k.a. Carrie's "happy place").

This down-to-earth gal loves eating fresh veggies from her garden, as evidence by her IG below:

In 2019, the couple put their old house up for sale for $1.45 million, per Architectural Digest. Some sources say that the couple are still building their dream house in Franklin, but it's likely their family still lives somewhere in Nashville.

She's an "All-American Girl" living (and loving) the American Dream.
