Ariana Grande Will Make More Than $20 Million From Fortnite

If Travis Scott's Fortnite showing is anything to go by, Ariana Grande will make more than $20 million via her virtual concert later this week.

As was made official by Epic over the weekend, Ariana Grande is coming to Fortnite. Both as a skin and to perform a virtual concert for what will be a worldwide audience millions of people strong. Grande is almost definitely the biggest coup for Epic so far in terms of Fortnite's in-game concerts as she gets set to follow in the footsteps of Travis Scott and Marshmello.

As for what Grande will get from performing a virtual concert in Fortnite, other than getting the chance to do something really cool, Forbes highlights how much the singer will likely earn. Scott landed somewhere in the ballpark of $20 million from his cut of the merch sales when he was in the game.

Since Grande is a bigger name than Scott (no offense, Travis) the odds that she will make more than that from her own appearance are highly likely. Not only is that a staggering amount of money regardless of the situation, but when compared to how much Grande likely brings in for an in-person concert, it doesn't even compare. Plus, it will require a lot less work on Grande's part.

Scott's highest-earning in-person concert made him $1.7 million. That was one night on his Astroworld Tour. The entire tour brought in $53.5 million, which means for one Fortnite concert, he made 40% of what he would earn during an entire in-person tour. Not to mention his Fortnite concert was less than ten minutes long, while an actual concert is usually closer to the two-hour mark.

All told, Grande is going to make a lot of money for not a lot of work when she debuts in Fortnite this weekend. The popular singer will almost definitely break Scott's Fortnite earnings record, as well as the viewership record he set with more than 12 million people tuning in to watch his show. Every performer must want a slice of the Fortnite pie right now, and it's hard to imagine who will be next to make their debut after Grande.
