Barbra Streisand Net Worth: 'Evergreen' Singer And EGOT Member Worth $400 Million

Barbra Streisand has a net worth of $400 million. Here is how she built her massive fortune.

Streisand is a living legend in the music industry. Her fame and influence transcend different generations. She is the only artist in history to have a No. 1 album in six consecutive decades, per Forbes.

The Williamsburg, Brooklyn native started her career in 1962, starring in a broadway show called “I Can Get It For You Wholesale.” Her breakout performance earned her a New York Drama Critics Award and a Tony nomination. A year after, Streisand released her first album “The Barbra Streisand Album.”

Born Barbara Joan Streisand, which she later changed to “Barbra” to make it more unique, the talented singer was able to leverage her success on stage to the small screen. She appeared on TV specials such as “My Name is Barbra” in 1965. The show won five Emmy Awards which solidified her star presence at the time.

Aside from the countless awards and recognitions that filled her trophy case, one of her highest distinctions is being the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an award she received in 2015 alongside Gloria Estefan, Steven Spielberg and Yogi Berra, among others.

Streisand lends a helping hand to different charities and NGOs that support African-Americans, women and children in jeopardy and battling AIDS.

Biography revealed that many consider her as the top-selling female artist of all time and with over 250 million records sold worldwide.

The "Woman in Love” singer owns a property in Malibu which is estimated to be worth $100 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the 78-year-old hitmaker is married to James Brolin, the father of actor Josh Brolin. She was formerly married to ex-husband Elliot Gould.

Streisand made the headlines recently after giving Gianna Floyd Disney shares. Gianna is the daughter of George Floyd who was wrongfully accused and killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

Floyd’s death sparked an outrage in the U.S. over racial injustice and fueled the Black Lives Matter protests. According to CNN, aside from Disney shares, the singer also gifted the young girl with two of her albums "My Name Is Barbra" and "Color Me Barbra."

The Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards recipient has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration. She released an album called “Walls” as a way to rebuke President Trump’s controversial policies in 2018.
