Gabby Barrett's Net Worth: How Much Is The Country Superstar Worth?
Gabby Barrett may have come in third place on Season 16 of American Idol, but the artist still managed to find her way to the No. 1 spot. Barrett scored the top slot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs with her single "I Hope," a single featuring Charlie Puth that has granted the artist some recognition.
The American Idol alum is up for multiple honors at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, including Best Collaboration for "I Hope." The young artist is up against some major stars, being grouped with Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper's "Holy," Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's "Savage (Remix)," and Chris Brown and Young Thug's "Go Crazy."
The artist's professional accomplishments come as Barrett celebrates another sweet addition in her personal life, welcoming her daughter Baylah May Foehner to the world in January 2021. Barrett and husband Cade Foehner (who competed against Barrett in the 16th season of American Idol) shared a pic of their baby on Instagram, writing, "Got to spend a very sweet week with our newest addition...meet our girl." With a great 2021 already in tow for Gabby Barrett, the country artist also has a growing fortune to look forward to.
Gabby Barrett's career is on the rise
Former American Idol star Gabby Barrett is breaking into the country music world one hit single at a time. The artist has already recorded three Hot 100 songs, and according to Billboard, she surpassed Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" for the third-longest reign on top of the Hot Country Songs chart since the beginning of the chart in 1958.
The artist's success is largely thanks to her single "I Hope," which peaked on the Hot 100 at No. 3 back in November 2020. And it sure looks like her bank account has begun to reflect her success in the music world. According to IlluminaryWorth, the country star has a net worth estimated at $300,000 as of 2020. In comparison to other major country stars, the figure may seem on the low end, but Barrett is just getting started.
The country singer's debut album, Goldmine, released in the summer of 2020 to rave reviews, and the accolades keep on rolling in. In addition to the iHeartRadio noms, Barrett is a contender in two 2021 ACM Awards categories: New Female Artist of the Year and Single of the Year for, of course, "I Hope."
