(Photo by Mat Hayward/Getty Images for Sugar Factory American Brasserie)How Much Does Mariah Carey Make From 'All I Want For Christmas Is You?' It's the biggest Christmas hit ever. We all wait for Halloween to be over so Mariah can defrost herself. Soon as Halloween is over, we know "All I Want for Christmas Is You" isn't too far behind. But have you ever wondered how much money Mariah makes annually from this monster hit?
The song was released in 1994. From 1994 to 2017 the song has made roughly $60 million according to The Economist. This comes out to 2.6 million annually. Think about that. If Mariah wanted to retire, she'd still be making almost 3 million annually to do absolutely NOTHING. The song seems to increase in popularity every year. Mariah once told Billboard: “I’m very thankful that people seem to still have an attachment to it. It makes me feel good when people tell me that it’s part of their lives.”
