In 1995, the 14-year-old Monica emerged onto Pop’s scene with the R&B album ‘Miss Thang.’
In 2017, twenty two years later, the vocalist has seen the career the album launched push her net worth to meteoric heights!
How so?
Details after the visual below…
When her income is prised away from numbers pulled in by her husband Shannon Brown, the star’s personal net worth rises to the $15 million mark.
That’s right..
15,000,000.
How the vocalist did it?
The answer to that question lies in the 5.3 million units her albums have moved in the United States, her commercially fruitful time with Berliner and Johnson‘s RCA Records and the lyrical contributions she made to her discography.
The difference between one’s net worth and income?
Your net worth is the value of your personal possessions (cars, houses and other personal possessions) sans all debts or liabilities.
Income on the other hand measures how much you earn after deductions like taxes have been made.
Unfortunately, because the ‘Code Red‘ star didn’t contribute to the creation of her Brandy-led smash hit cut ‘The Boy is Mine‘, she does not receive any of the money generated by its sales.
However, as her net worth proves, the song’s absence from her bank balance has done little to stop her from becoming one of her genre’s highest-earning stars.

BRANDY LED? IT WAS A DUET. AND WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS ARTICLE? SLOW NEWS DAY.
The song was Brandy’s originally.
Ummm…ok?
The first two comments are from Brandy fans. So sad and jealous. Tgj are clearly trying to celebrate her and they come with the hate. Go and do some research into your favs new boo.
People are mad that an r&b blog is celebrating an r&b singer? Self hating coons I tell you.
MONICA NET WORTH WAS ALREADY 15MILLION
WHO WAS MAD? I LOVE MONICA OVER BRANDY ANY DAY. THIS WAS POINTLESS. EVERYBODY KNOWS MONICA IS FAR FROM BROKE. SHE HAS ONE OF THE BEST SUCCESS STORIES IN HER FIELD. SO READY FOR HER NEXT SUCCESSFUL CHAPTER.
I mean GOOD STUFF but I don’t see how this is really BIG news. She rich, end of story lol. I’m thinking they was going to say: Out of the blue her debut or any of her albums ended up rising back onto the charts after an X amount of years lol. Which in return boosted her income to so and so…. Then I would of been like WOW! lol.
She does a lot of charity work too. Mo ain’t that type to gloat.
My girl been busy.
Longevity pays off and she does a lot of shows even if not loads of tours.
Highly respected by her peers for her contributons to the genre of R&B, especially during the great trinity period where it was Aaliyah, Bran and Mo.
Love my Monica woooo. ❤❤??
Proves that folk need to stop saying a star “Fell Off” or “is Broke” because they’re not presently on the radio or TV.
Grow up!
Be Smart with your money and it will become wealth!
Good point. Entertainment is a feast or famine business. These stars need to be saving their coins and investing when times are good cause you never know when your time in the spotlight is up.
I’m confused. Is this low key shade or somethin? Now don’t get me wrong, $15 million is more than most people will see in their lifetime but in the world of entertainers that ain’t s***. To be honest, I would have thought her net worth would have been more than that given how popular she was in the mid to late 90’s when people still cared about her music.
B**** sit down and stfu. One things for sure, she can buy and sell your shard born ass.
Yassssss!!!!!
And how much is Beyonce worth again, Monica has alot of catching up to do
Beyoncé TOURS ARENAS, clearly Monica isn’t doing that but she does her shows & they get filled it seems…
What does Beyonce have to do with this? Beyonce is currently popular so of course she’s booking arenas….but then too Monica is still touring arenas stadiums as well as clubs and her album was two years ago…. get yo life and yo dreams and stop riding Beyonce’s coattails her ass ain’t doing nothing for you but taking your coins….
What was the point of this news? Y’all sad. Slow news day huh?
First of all I love both brandy and Monica but I’m glad that Monica has money but brandy has more of course because her mom was always looking for the best moves 4 her daughter remember brandy started on thea for 1 year before comming out with her debut album which I still love then she did moesha for 6 years and was the star and like a producer and gets money from that show in syndication on top of her Cinderella movie and a few others and brandy is my girl
Not true you clearly only speaking from hope because reality Monica net worth is higher than brandy..so stop the non sense yall need to start researching before you type..so to me it seems Monica is most successful, still performing still booking tv appearances, still touring just respect her Name and what she has done..she is more relatable and easier on the eye and more appealing than that brandy chick who has simply failed off leaving Monica still on top period
