The Queen of Country Pop is officially back. Shania Twain's first new album in nearly six years, Queen of Me, drops Feb. 3, and no one knows quite what to do with themselves. But that's not all. Shania is also going on tour in April of 2023 for the first time since 2018. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait!
However, I can’t properly prepare for her new tunes without reflecting on her old ones. After all, Shania has sold over 100 million records, per The Tennessean, and has won five Grammys, four American Music Awards, and four Academy of Country Music Awards, according to IMDb.
So, thanks to her mega-successful singing and songwriting abilities, Shania's become one of the richest singers in the world, per the South China Morning Post.
But just how did she land her spot on that list? Ahead, learn all about how the “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” singer made her money, including details on her album sales, tours, and residencies. Let’s go, girls!
Shania wasn't always successful.
Her 1993 debut album, Shania Twain, didn’t gain much notoriety at first—selling just 100,000 copies—but after her later albums became popular, she sold one million copies of her debut, per Britannica and Celebrity Net Worth. It wasn’t until 1995 that Shania popped off, dropping her sophomore album, The Woman in Me, which sold more than 18 million copies and won a Grammy for Country Album of the Year in 1996, Britannica wrote.
Her third album made her the best-selling female country musician.
...And the first female recording artist with two consecutive albums sell over 10 million copies, according to Britannica. Shania released her third album, Come On Over, in 1997, which went on to become the best-selling album by a solo woman artist, per Rolling Stone.
Up!, her fourth album, dropped in 2002, with country and pop versions of the songs, and her Greatest Hits album came out in 2004, per Britannica.
Shania had two Las Vegas residencies.
Between 2012 and 2014, she performed at her residency, Shania: Still the One, at Caesars Palace, before dropping her first album in 15 years, Now, per Britannica. Later, Shania returned to Vegas for her Let’s Go! residency in 2019, Britannica wrote. She reportedly earned around $1 million per show, according to Parade.
Oh, and Shania’s also had a plethora of other tours to make dough, including the Come On Over Tour in 1998, which made $40.8 million in gross ticket sales, per the Denver Post. Next up came the tours Up! (2003), Rock This Country (2015), and Now (2018).
She’s made some television appearances.

CourtesyIn 2011, Shania began telling her story, between her autobiography, “From this Moment on,” and docuseries, Why Not? With Shania Twain, which showed the singer revisiting her hometown in Canada and healing from the loss of her parents, according to IMDb.
She also started acting in later 2010s in the television shows Broad City (2017), Fairfax (2021), and Monarch (2022), and the movies Trading Paint (2019), I Still Believe (2020), and Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration (2022), per IMDb.
Shania also used to co-own a lodge.
She bought the luxury hotel lodge Mahu Whenua in New Zealand in 2004 for $21.5 million with her ex-husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange. Rooms are available for several thousand dollars per night, Daily Mail wrote. (Lange is the only one who owns it now.)
So, what’s Shania’s net worth?
Her total net worth is $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Now, that's a whole lotta cash.
Stay tuned for more details on her net worth when her new album drops this month!
