However, her earnings as one of Disney's biggest stars aren't bad either. Olivia Rodrigo's net worth is estimated to be around $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Rodrigo plays gifted singer and actress Nini Salazar Roberts in the popular Disney Channel series "HSMTMTS." She also performed the songs "Just for a Moment" and "All I Want" in the show.

Rodrigo has also made appearances in an episode of “New Girl” and “American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success.”

Aside from her acting career, Rodrigo built her massive fortune at a young age through her singing career.

Even before her record-breaking album “Sour” was released in May, the singer captured the world’s attention through her heartbreak songs “Drivers License,” “Deja Vu” and “Good 4 U.”

Her debut single “Drivers License” dominated this year’s charts and just recently surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify.

The song, which was released on January 8, 2021, broke Spotify’s record for most daily streams for a non-holiday song twice. First on January 11, with 15.17 million streams, and second on January 12, with 17.01 million listens.

According to research by Orpheus Audio Academy, Spotify pays $0.003 per stream while Apple Music and Deezer pay between $0.006 and $0.007 per stream.

As of this writing, Rodrigo has 19.9 million followers on Instagram, 1.5 million followers on Twitter, 11.7 million followers on Tiktok and 8.12 million subscribers on YouTube.
