Delta Lea Goodrem was born on 9 November 1984, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and is an ARIA Award winning singer, songwriter and pianist. However, Delta is perhaps best known for her role of Nina Tucker in the TV soap opera ‘Neighbours’, which also added considerably to her net worth as a Logie Award-winning actress.
So just how rich is Deta Goodrem? Sources currently estimate that Delta has a net worth of over $10 million, accumulated from her varied career in the entertainment industry.
Delta Goodrem Net Worth $1.5 Million
Delta Goodrem was educated at The Hills Grammar School in Sydney, but from the age of seven years had started learning to play the piano, act and sing.In addition to this, she appeared in commercials and television shows. When 15, Delta signed a contract with Sony, which was the real beginning of Delta Goodrem’s net worth accumulation. Unfortunately, her first single ‘I Don’t Care’ was not very successful and did not fulfill the expectations of Sony, however, then came the soap opera ‘Neighbours’ created by Reg Watson, and Delta’s starring role, which ceetainly boosted her fame, popularity and net worth.
Delta’s further songs ‘Born to Try’ and ‘Lost without You’ reached the top places in ARIA Singles Chart and were certified to be triple and double Platinum respectively according to sales in Australia. Her album ‘Innocent Eyes’ was popular not only in Australia but all over the world, making Delta’s net worth jump significantly. Unfortunately, the same year the girl was diagnosed with cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Simultaneously she was announced to be the winner of seven ARIA Awards, however she was too sick to participate on the show. Luckily, in 2004 Delta got back onto the stage as she was in remission. She released her second album ‘Mistaken Identity’ which was also very successful, and being certified five times Platinum it has also increased Delta Goodrem’s net worth. A year later, Delta landed a leading role in the Australian comedy film directed by Geoff Bennett ‘Hating Alison Ashley’. Her net worth continued to rise.
Delta Goodrem then moved to US, and appeared in the last episodes of the television series ‘North Shore’, however, she was not satisfied with her acting. In 2007, the third studio album ‘Delta’ was released which followed the success of the first two albums and was certified Platinum three times. In 2012, the fourth studio album, ‘Child of the Universe’ was released, which received Gold certification.Her net worth rose again.
Due to her great popularity Delta appeared in various shows including ‘The View’, ‘The David Letterman Show’, ‘Australian Idol’ as a guest judge, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. In 2012 and 2013 Delta appeared in the reality talent show ‘The Voice’ as a judge, couch and mentor.
During her career she has made three Australian tours as follows ‘The Visualise Tour’ in 2005, ‘Believe Again Tour’ in 2009 and ‘An Evening with Delta: The Top of My World Shows’ in 2012 which were very successful despite the high price of tickets, and raised Delta Goodrem’s net worth and popularity.
In her personal life, Delta had a long-term relationship with tennis player Mark Philippoussis, was engaged to singer Brian McFadden, and was dating Nick Jonas for almost a year, but currently in 2015 Delta states that she is single.
