Extensive touring has also been a significant part of Grande’s career. As reported by Billboard, her Dangerous Woman tour generated a gross income of $71 million.

Ariana exclusively licensed her name, image, and likeness to Morphe Cosmetics and its parent company, Forma Brands, in December 2020. Following this, the product line made its debut at Ulta Beauty. In May 2022, it was recognized as “Best New Brand” at the Allure Best of Beauty Awards.

Fragrances

Ariana Grande has launched multiple fragrances in collaboration with Luxe Brands. To date, her fragrances have achieved over $1 billion in gross sales, primarily due to the popularity of three signature scents: Moonlight, Sweet Like Candy, and Ari by Ariana Grande.

Typically, celebrities receive an upfront fee to create a fragrance, followed by a 5% royalty on gross sales. A 5% royalty on $1 billion in gross revenue would translate to $50 million. It’s feasible that Ariana’s royalty percentage could rise to 10% dependent on various performance milestones or exceeding certain annual sales thresholds.
