The American actress and singer Demetria Devonne Lovato will be more familiar to television viewers and music enthusiasts alike by the shorter form of her name – she is Demi Lovato, a star who, despite her relatively recent rise to fame, has already amassed an estimated net worth of $15 million. Originally a child actress on the popular “PBS Kids” children’s programme “Barney & Friends”, Demi Lovato has come a long way since. Ever since first proving herself a capable singer, Lovato has continued to release successful studio albums and participate in various tours, and her achievements to date include several singles that have been certified platinum, as well as an album at the very top of the Billboard 200 chart.
Demi Lovato Net Worth $15 Million
Between Lovato’s youth and obvious talent, it seems like the singer and television star has nowhere to go but up – and as Lovato’s fame increases, so, too, will her net worth. Born on 20 August 1992 in the city of Albuquerque in New Mexico, USA, Demi Lovato first became involved with acting and performing from a very young age. Even as a child, Lovato was already making a name for herself through her appearances on the children’s show “Barney & Friends” – where she had the benefit of acting alongside her friend, actress and singer Selena Gomez. Despite her success on television, however, Demi Lovato did not have an altogether easy childhood – in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the rising star admitted she had been bullied at school, to the point where she’d opted for homeschooling instead. Nonetheless, this would not deter Lovato from pursuing a career as an actress and performer, and in 2008, she appeared on the Disney television film “Camp Rock” alongside the popular Jonas brothers –Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas.
“Camp Rock” opened a lot of doors for Demi Lovato, leading to the launch of Lovato’s music career with her “Demi Live! Warm Up Tour”. Lovato’s debut album, titled “Don’t Forget”, was released soon afterwards – still in 2008. It proved a commercial success, giving Demi Lovato’s already rising net worth a considerable boost with its sales figures of over half a million in the US alone. The very next year, Lovato would become the lead actress in the Disney sitcom “Sonny with a Chance”, where her acting abilities were praised by critics as being on par with, or perhaps even better than those of another of Lovato’s friends, Miley Cyrus. Though “Sonny with a Chance” would be discontinued in 2011 owing to Lovato having to deal with problems in her private life, the increasingly popular singer continues to produce albums and singles – including her second album “Here We Go Again”, which was ranked #1 on the Billboard 200 on its first week.
How rich is Demi Lovato? At the moment, Lovato’s net worth is believed to reach up to $15 million. Lovato owes most of her fortune to her success as an actress and singer. In addition to appearances in various television projects, the young celebrity continues to work on releasing studio albums. Despite struggles to overcome the increasing levels of stress in her life, Demi Lovato remains one of the brightest young stars. With her recent single “Skyscraper” reaching the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it seems that Lovato has more than managed to make the transition between child celebrity and an adult entertainer and singer.
