Biography
Tina Turner net worth at the time of her death in May 2023 was estimated at $250 million, a testament to one of music's most extraordinary comeback stories. After leaving her abusive marriage to Ike Turner in 1976 with just 36 cents, she rebuilt her career from scratch and became one of the best-selling artists of all time. Her 1984 album 'Private Dancer' sold 20 million copies worldwide, and her 'Wildest Dreams' and 'Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour' were among the highest-grossing concert tours of their eras. In 2021, she sold her music catalog to BMG for a reported $50 million.
