JoJo Siwa is an American dancer, singer, actress, model, and reality television personality who has a net worth of $20 million. JoJo Siwa gained fame on "Dance Moms" (2015-2016) as a high-energy performer known for her signature bow-wearing style. She leveraged this exposure into a successful YouTube channel and Nickelodeon partnership, launching merchandise lines including her popular hair bows, toys, and clothing.
In the case of a celebrity product line, the celeb often only gets paid after a certain sales milestone is reached after production and marketing costs are recouped. If JoJo has indeed sold 40 million ribbons, it's obvious that this kind of milestone has already been reached and surpassed. This means that she is indeed earning a percentage of the profits.
Based on these calculations, it's clear that JoJo is, in fact, earning a serious amount of cash from product sales alone. Also, please keep in mind that any net worth number you see on our site is after taxes. So, for someone to have a net worth of $14 million, they would have to earn $25-30 million before taxes and various other fees. If JoJo maintains her current level of popularity, we absolutely foresee a day where she is worth $50-100 million.
Joelle Joanie Siwa was born on May 19, 2003, in Omaha, Nebraska. After rising to prominence with music videos like "Boomerang" and "I Can Make U Dance" on YouTube, JoJo began performing to sold-out arenas after a tour in 2018. This tour initially went through 52 cities in the United States and Canada, and it was later expanded to include cities in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Using the industry average cost per goods sold on a $9 bow, we conservatively estimate that each sale generates $2.5 in net profit. Based on similar celebrity endorsement deals that we've seen, JoJo would be lucky to get 20% of profits after costs are recouped. That's $0.54 per sale, pre-tax. If JoJo did sell 40 million bow ribbons, she presumably had to sell 10 million to recoup initial costs. This would leave her with total earnings of $16 million pre-tax. Call it $8 million after tax.
We hear from many of JoJo's fans that her net worth must be significantly higher than our current estimate since she has reportedly sold 40 million hair bows. Though this number has not been independently verified or reported in a business journal, she is undoubtedly earning a pretty penny from product sales. However, even if that 40 million number was correct, it doesn't necessarily mean that JoJo herself is making "hundreds of millions" of dollars off the sales.
She released music singles like "Boomerang" (2016) and "Kid in a Candy Store" (2017), embarking on her D.R.E.A.M. concert tour in 2019. Siwa made history on "Dancing with the Stars" (2021) as part of the first same-sex partnership, finishing as runner-up.
In January 2021, she came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, becoming a prominent young voice for the community. She has since evolved her image from her younger, kid-friendly persona to a more mature entertainer, though maintaining her characteristically bold style.
Ultimately, JoJo Siwa's financial journey is a testament to their success.
