"All I Want for Christmas Is You" hit 1 billion streams on Spotify in December 2021, and has been No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 list for the past four years in a row.

Carey has made millions of dollars over the years, thanks to her successful music career, tours, and endorsements. Carey has an estimated net worth of $350 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Here's how Mariah made her millions.

Carey has made millions from a successful music career that has earned the singer five Grammy Awards.

Carey is among the best-selling female artists of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold over her career, and 19 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles. The singer is 10th in the world on Spotify today, with about 73.4 million monthly listeners.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" set three Guinness World Records in 2019, among which was the title for the most-streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours by a female artist. It was streamed more than 10.8 million times in one day in December 2018. She beat the record again in 2022 with 21.3 million streamed listens.

Carey earned $30 million for a two-year residency at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, from 2015 to 2017. In 2012, she also reportedly earned $18 million as a judge on one season of "American Idol," and was the highest-paid judge on a music competition show at the time, according to Us Weekly.

Carey also has made millions from lucrative endorsements with major brands. In November 2019, the superstar singer reportedly got paid $11 million by PepsiCo for starring in a Christmas. In 2022, Carey launched two fine jewelry collections in collaboration with jewelry company Chopard.

Carey also has two children's books, All I Want For Christmas Is You and The Christmas Princess.
