Mariah Carey was born into a musical family: her mom was a vocal coach and even used to sing opera. So, it’s no surprise that Mariah was already belting out tunes when she was just three years old.
Her 1990 debut album, called, appropriately enough, Mariah Carey, set the music scene on fire. Soon, she had cash to burn. By 1995, she’d sold a mind-boggling 86 million copies of her first five albums.
Mariah Carey is a musical queen, but did you know she’s also a business boss lady, stashing her cash in all sorts of interesting spots. Besides belting out those high notes, she’s been smart about spreading that wealth around.
