She is also widely recognized for being featured on the original soundtracks of “The Twilight Saga” movie franchise.
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this American music star has accumulated so far? How rich Christina Perri is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total of Christina Perri’s net worth, as of early 2018, revolves around the sum of $4 million, acquired through her career in the music industry that has been active since 2008.
Christina Perri Net Worth $4 Million
Christina is the younger child of Dante and Mary Perri, and was raised alongside her older brother – also a musician – in Philadelphia’s suburb of Bensalem. She attended Archbishop Ryan High School from which she matriculated in 2004. Interested in the music from an early age, Christina taught herself how to play a guitar at the age of 16 which was later enriched by her piano playing skills. Although she enrolled at college, studying communications, she dropped out after only one year and relocated to Los Angeles, California, to pursue her music career full time. She then started producing music videos in addition to recording her own songs, as well as serving as a waitress at the Melrose Cafe. All these endeavors provided the modest basis for Christina Perri’s current net worth.
In June 2010, Perri’s debut single was released, entitled “Jar of Hearts” which was featured in the television dance competition show “So You Think You Can Dance”. The song was warmly welcomed by the audience, and within a month sold over 100,000 copies, peaking as the No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This huge commercial success helped Christina to sign a record deal with the Atlantic Records, then in November 2010 the EP “The Ocean Way Sessions” was released. In May 2011, Perri her first studio album “Lovestrong” came out, which became a huge commercial success, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album’s release was also followed by an eponymous world tour, which lasted for an entire year and included a total of 71 performances. These ventures helped Christina Perri to dramatically enlarge the size of her wealth as well as her popularity.
In October 2011, she released another single named “A Thousand Years” which was featured in the fantasy drama movie “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1”, which was eventually certified 4x platinum, and is still considered as her most popular single so far. Perri’s second studio album entitled “Head or Heart” hit the charts in March 2014, and soon after peaked at the No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, featuring hit singles such as “Human” and “Burning Gold”. It is certain that all these accomplishments made a huge impact on the total of Christina Perri’s net worth.
Apart from those already mentioned, her recordings had been featured in several TV programs including “The Vampire Diaries”, “Glee” and “Girls” as well as in popular television series such as “Dancing with the Stars”, “American Idol” and “The X Factor”. Doubtlessly, all these achievements have helped Christina Perri to add a sum to the total of her revenues.
When it comes to her personal life, Perri married in 2007 but filed for divorce 18 months later. In January 2016 she began a relationship with entertainment reporter Paul Costabile, and in June 2017 the couple became engaged before marrying in December 2017, and in January 2018 welcoming their first child. Christina is very active on several social media network, on which she has been followed by a total of more than two million fans altogether.
I was kind of an outcast in school 'cause I always kept to myself and was writing poetry and then going on tour with my brother band all the time, so kids didn't know what to make of me.

I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?

It felt very natural to me to write a Christmas song, but at the same time I had to really put all sorts of pressure aside and just let the creativity flow and see what came out.
4
Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.
5
I took time off from school and traveled to Italy when I was 19, living with my extended family members. I must have slept in 30 different houses those months, taken in by people who'd never even met me.

You need to love yourself and be yourself one hundred percent before you can actually love someone else.

My earliest memories as a child are listening to Beatles records, and they are a big part of how I've learned to write pop songs.

Everything around me inspires and influences me. Mainly love - falling in it, losing it, loving it and hating it.

Music has been my everything since day one. It's been my shoulder to cry on, my rock and my best friend.
