Jazmine Sullivan’s net worth
If the reports published by the website Celebrity Net Worth are to be believed, the talented singer currently has a net worth of a whopping $7million. Sullivan rakes-in a lot of money through her record deals, copyrights and other lucrative deals. She has been in the industry for more than 15 years.
She was first signed to Jive Records at the young age of 15 but was later dropped without releasing any music. Her hit singles like ‘Need U Bad’ and ‘Bust Your Windows’ then catapulted her to fame giving her much-deserved recognition. This also allowed her to rake-in money through her record sales.
Her debut album, ‘Fearless’, was released in 2008 and as luck had it, it debuted atop the R&B chart and number six on the Billboard 200 chart allowing her to happily run to the bank. Just like other artistes, Sullivan also makes money from streaming platforms. According to the website That Grapejuice, by October 2018, Sullivan’s 10 most played songs on Spotify garnered around 154 million streams.
The same website reports that streaming allowed Sullivan to make over one million dollars. The streams made the singer around $616k, with an addition of $400k which she reportedly earned from YouTube.
Raking-in moolah from songwriting
Jazmine Sullivan might have made her name in the world of singing but her major source of income is songwriting. The versatile songstress has penned lyrics for Megan Thee Stallion, Mary J Blige, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Robin Thicke among a few others. And mind you, songwriting is a very profitable business. It is also believed that Sullivan has songwriting credits on more than a hundred recorded songs.
The 55th edition of the Super Bowl will take place in Tampa, Florida, at Raymond James Stadium. This is the third time a Super Bowl event is set to take place at this stadium and the fifth time overall in Tampa. The Raymond James Stadium can hold 65,000 people and interestingly, the number can also be expanded to 75,000 spectators. However, due to Covid-19 protocols, it is being reported that the stadium will only allow 20% of the seating capacity.
The 2021 edition of the Super Bowl will be broadcast on CBS at 6.30 pm ET and viewers can also watch the game and the halftime performance on the CBS All Access app. It was first NBC who was originally scheduled to broadcast the 2021 game and CBS had the 2022 Super Bowl, however, the two networks decided to swap years in order for NBC to have both the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics in 2022.
