Mariah Carey's Christmas Cash Cow: How "All I Want For Christmas Is You" Keeps Giving
Let’s talk about the legendary Mariah Carey and her holiday anthem, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." While her latest album, Caution, might not be setting the charts on fire, guess what? Mariah doesn’t seem too concerned. Why? Because her iconic 1994 Christmas hit keeps delivering big-time paychecks year after year. That’s right, folks—this single song has become a financial powerhouse for Mariah.
Chances are, you’ve heard "All I Want for Christmas Is You" playing on repeat at every mall, store, and holiday party this season—and every season for the past 28 years. According to The Economist, this festive jingle has raked in over $60 million for Mariah since its release. And let’s break it down even further: every year in the UK alone, Mariah earns a cool $500,000 in royalties. But that’s not all—thanks to streaming services, the song continues to generate revenue globally. It’s no wonder this holiday classic is often referred to as "the Christmas song of our generation."
