At 22, Billish Eilish is a world-renowned multimillionaire musician who has won several major accolades including Grammys, Golden Globes, and an Oscar. Last year, the singer collaborated with her brother Finneas, composing one of the most popular songs of the year for the Barbie soundtrack. With big budget projects such as this, her own line of perfumes, endorsem*nt deals with major fashion labels, and more, Billie Eilish’s net worth has been on an upward trend, and rightly so.
Along with her brother and producer, Finneas, Billie Eilish bagged two major wins at the 2024 Grammys for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media. The win came on the heels of the duo’s nomination across six categories for their Barbie hit, What Was I Made For. Reacting to the nominations prior to the ceremony, Eilish jokingly told People, “This was supposed to be an off year. Didn’t put an album out, didn’t do anything. We really made one song and we were like, ‘Here you go.’”
Despite taking home the Song of the Year trophy, the singer seemed shocked to have beaten the likes of Taylor Swift (Anti-Hero), SZA (Kill Bill), Lana Del Rey (A&W), Miley Cyrus (Flowers), Olivia Rodrigo (Vampire), and Jon Batiste (Butterfly) in the category. Including their wins this year, the Eilish siblings currently hold nine Grammy Awards.
Billie Eilish first took home five Grammys in 2020 across the big four categories: Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year as well as Best Pop Vocal Album. In 2021, she won Record Of The Year for Everything I Wanted and also Best Song Written For Visual Media for the James Bond film, No Time To Die.
At the 2024 Grammy awards, Billie and Finneas not only accepted two awards, but also took to the stage to deliver a mesmerising performance of What Was I Made For. Celebrating the film for which the song was produced, Eilish dressed up like a vintage Barbie doll — wearing a ’60s-inspired green dress and matching jacket along with a satin pink scarf wrapped around her hair. She also shared a photo of the vintage Barbie on her Instagram.
With Finneas accompanying her on the piano to play the soothing score, Eilish’s gentle vocals further elevated the performance and brought out the emotional resonance of the track. The song, which has already won a Golden Globe and Grammy, is also up for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category.
First album and breakout hit
Billie Eilish’s connection to music goes way back to when she was eight years old and singing for the Los Angeles Children’s Choir. The singer intended to make music from an early age and initially released singles on SoundCloud. Her breakthrough with Ocean Eyes, produced and co-written with Finneas and released by Interscope was the beginning of it all. Eilish later released another track, Bored, which ended up on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. Eventually, she released her debut full-length album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We All Go? on March 29 2019, featuring the breakout song that changed her career, Bad Guy.
With vocals and songwriting that were quick to impact the music industry, Eilish and Finneas found themselves at the center of the spotlight in no time, leading them to compose the James Bond theme song. Upon releasing the title track for No Time To Die, Eilish became the youngest musician ever to perform a theme song for a Bond film.
As of now, Eilish has released two studio albums including her sophom*ore album, Happier Than Ever, which was released in 2021.
Billie Eilish’s tours and streaming earnings
Tours are one of the biggest revenue generators for musicians. While the COVID pandemic slowed things down for Eilish, who had to postpone her Where Do We Go? North American tour, her earnings were only affected for a little while. The singer soon began performing again, and it has been reported that her tours have brought in over USD 150 million. Not only that, her streaming sales are also beyond the roof, and as per RIAA, Eilish has made USD 46.5 million in digital singles.
The singer also earned a hefty sum from Apple in 2021 after she released a documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry. The documentary depicts her rising popularity and how she handled fame at a young age, shedding light on the price of celebrity. A report from Forbes has revealed that the musician earned around USD 25 million from her AppleTV deal.

On brand endorsem*nts and partnerships
As one of the most sought after musicians of her generation, Eilish has bagged some sophisticated brand collaborations and endorsem*nts, all of which have steadily added to her net worth. Among Eilish’s most notable brand endorsem*nts are deals with brands like Nike, which includes the Billie X Nike collection as well as her partnership with Gucci for a line of luxury eyewear. Eilish has also released her own line of fragrances, which notably sold out within hours of its initial release. According to reports, the perfume is expected to bring home USD 60 million in sales in its first year alone, a fact that has certainly added a significant bump to the singer’s burgeoning net worth.
Not one for sitting still for too long, the singer surprised fans with an acting debut in 2023 with Prime Video’s Swarm. Her performance in the thriller series was well received by fans, who felt she added another feather to her cap by showcasing her acting skills. From featuring on the Barbie soundtrack to debuting as an actor, 2023 proved to be a big year for Eilish.
Billie Eilish’s dating history and relationships
In her documentary, the Ocean Eyes singer opened up about her intimate relationship with rapper Brandon Quentin Adams, aka Q. She also revealed why they split up after only a year of dating, highlighting the fact that they both wanted different things. Following her romance with Q, Billie dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce for a year.
Her last major relationship was with The Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford. Given the ten-year age gap between them, the duo’s relationship raised some eyebrows within the public. Undeterred, Eilish and Rutherford made their relationship red carpet official as they arrived together at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in November 2022. In August 2023, it was confirmed by a rep for Eilish that the couple had called it quits after dating for less than a year. Eilish is reportedly single at the moment, and she certainly appears to be thriving.
Billie Eilish and Finneas’ bond and her status as a Belieber
Billie Eilish and Finneas are among the most talented siblings in the music industry right now. He plays a large part in Eilish’s songwriting, and their teamwork has resulted in some of the greatest hits of our time. The siblings have been making music together since they were young, with Eilish recalling in an interview that it all started in a garage when Finneas began to play a piece of music, which they then wrote a song to. The singer has also spoken on the importance of her brother’s contribution to her career, sharing, “He’s the only reason I’m anywhere in the whole world. He’s probably the only reason I’m alive.”
Apart from her brother, another artist that Billie holds respect for, and whom she has been following as a fan is Justin Bieber. She shares a close friendship with the singer, a bond that Beliebers are truly jealous of. Eilish has flaunted her Belieber side on Instagram, promoting the release of his album Changes by sharing how she supported him from the start, with pictures showcasing his posters on her wall. Bieber has also reciprocated Eilish’s love and respect; in an interview, he spoke on his desire to protect her from the dark phases a young artist goes through. This is particularly pertinent, considering the similarity of their paths, and how starting out early in the industry can be challenging.
Billie Eilish’s net worth and expensive things she owns
As per Celebrity Net Worth in 2024, Billie Eilish’s net worth stands at approximately USD 40 million. The singer, who has earned massive sums through her music and endorsem*nt deals has also dabbled in publishing. At the height of her popularity in 2021, she released a photograph book called Billie Eilish which sold over 64,000 hardcover copies in a few months. Ventures such as this have also added significantly to the singer’s net worth.
While she no doubt has massive earnings, Billie Eilish also harbours a taste for expensive things, with some of her popular purchases reflecting the same. In 2019, the singer made a massive real estate investment, reportedly paying USD 2.3 million for a ranch property in Glendale, California. The property was previously owned by Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis.
Apart from real estate, Eilish also has an enviable car collection which includes a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Range Rover Sport, Mazda 5, and McLaren 600LT.
Since breaking out on the music scene, Billie Eilish has also became a trendsetter in terms of fashion. She is a known sneakerhead, boasting a closet full of sneakers that can rival those of serious collectors. Her go-to brands include Nike and Converse; with the former, the singer lent her inimitable sense of style for the popular Billie Eilish x Air Jordan range. She has also been spotted in crystal-embedded Gucci sneakers worth USD 1,590.
Eilish has now won her second Oscar for her Barbie track. To date, she has had over 20 platinum rated singles. In July of 2023, Bad Guy reached diamond status with a sale of 10 million units — certainly a sign of the huge boost her net worth is going to get in coming years.
