There are only so many artists who can fully captivate an audience with just their voice, and Sam Smith is definitely one of them. The singer is currently on the road for their highly-anticipated Gloria tour, which has garnered *tons* of attention given that it's been over four years since their last Thrill of It All tour.

Now, it doesn't take a math wiz to realize that multiple hit tours + releasing musical bop after musical bop = major $$$. Enter: a comprehensive breakdown of Sam Smith's net worth. You're welcome!

Sam's music makes the world go 'round

IDK about you, but the fact that I quite literally know where I was when "Latch"—one of Sam's first hit singles, with DJ duo Disclosure—came out means that it clearly resonated. And honestly, the numbers very back up my sentiment. According to Billboard, their song became one of the top-selling Dance/Electronic Songs in 2014 after its release two years earlier. It *also* just so happened to be Disclosure's first top 10 single in the U.S. and the second for Sam. So yeah, the song had INFLUENCE, people! It was even played DJ duo while they performed at Coachella just last year:

Sam continued to gain momentum by lending their vocals to Naughty Boy's 2013 song "La La La," which may still live in your head rent-free. Fast-forward to 2014, and the artist dropped their debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour, which only solidified their rise in the music industry. Not only did it feature multiple chart-topping hits, including "Stay With Me," "I'm Not the Only One," and "Lay Me Down," but (!!) it earned Sam four Grammy Awards in 2015: Best Pop Vocal Album for "In the Lonely Hour," Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Stay With Me," and Best New Artist.

In 2017, Sam released their sophomore album, The Thrill of It All, which, according to Celebrity Net Worth, "debuted at number one on the U.K. Albums Chart and the U.S. Billboard 200."

Fans everywhere had to wait until 2020 to hear Sam's third album, Love Goes, which was originally slated for a May 2020 release. (It was ultimately pushed back twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually released on October 30, 2020.) The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) later on announced it was Sam's third album to be certified Platinum or higher. It also earned them their first GLAAD Award for Outstanding Music Artist.

"I watch these award shows every year, and it really means a lot to me to be getting this so thank you very much," Sam said as they accepted the award from home. "Music has remained this constant force of unity throughout the world for people. And looking at this category tonight, of all of these albums, these are the albums that got me and got all of us through this year," they added, before lifting a mug into the air and cheersing. "So I just wanted to raise a cup of tea—having a tea party— or everyone in this category. I really hope that we can all be together and I can go to a GLAAD Awards someday and meet everyone."

Recently Sam added a new album to their discography, Gloria, which was released in January 2023 and featured the single "Unholy" alongside Kim Petras. At the 65th Grammy Awards, not only did they perform the song, but they won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for it! Watch a snippet of this acceptance speech below and try not to get emotional 🥺:

Needless to say, Sam has made tons of $$$$ recording music, and people like me can't get enough of it. Back in 2015, the musician even put out a re-issue of their debut album that had an extra 12 tracks and resulted in a massive second wave of sales for them.

Their James Bond work was *chef's kiss*

Sam was tapped to work on the theme song for the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, and they absolutely delivered. The singer teamed up with songwriter Jimmy Napes to pen the track, which skyrocketed to No. 1 in the U.K. (the first James Bond song to achieve this milestone!) and collected combined chart sales and streams of 70,000 copies—13,000 more than Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" Oh, and it also won an Academy Award *and* a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. Casual!

Their touring rakes in the big bucks

Though there aren't exact stats on how much Sam makes from their concerts, they're currently on their new tour, Gloria.

That said, the musician recently abruptly cut short their Manchester's AO Arena set, citing vocal issues. In a statement posted to their Instagram story shortly thereafter, Sam wrote (via Just Jared), "Dearest sailors, I don't know what to say honestly. I fought off a virus a few weeks ago and since then we have travelled across Europe and had such incredible shows. Today in soundcheck I felt fine and was so excited to give Manchester an amazing show tonight, with a special surprise at the end."

"During my third song, I noticed something wrong with my voice. I prayed it was just my voice waking up for the show but into the fourth song I could feel something was really wrong. I came off stage and have tried everything to get my voice back in gear but it won't. I am honestly heartbroken I couldn't finish the show tonight for you all. I love you all. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry x," they continued.

Their real estate portfolio is impressive

In September 2019, Sam paid £12million for a mansion in Hampstead—a stunning suburb north of London—and they still live in it today, counting actor Jude Law and singer Liam Gallagher as neighbors.

So what is Sam Smith's net worth, in total?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sam Smith's total net worth is a cool $45 million. And that's pretty much based off of the artist simply having a very, very successful music career. Like, I've never personally seen Sam attempt spon-con at all, which is a testament to their sheer musical star-power building an empire. What! An! Icon!
