Despite years of public highs and lows, Braxton has managed to transform her talent and transparency into a profitable business. The R&B songstress built her wealth through records, TV and brand deals by leveraging her versatility, vulnerability and infectious aura. Here’s a full breakdown of her net worth.

How Did Tamar Braxton Become Famous?

It’s no wonder Braxton is a successful songstress, as she was born into a music dynasty. She’s the younger sister of the seven-time Grammy award-winner Toni Braxton. Additionally, as the youngest of the Braxton siblings, she got her start singing gospel music in Severn, Maryland, alongside her sisters.

In 1989, the Braxton sisters signed to Arista Records and formed an official girl group. Although the group saw moderate success with songs including “The Boss” and “Only Love,” it wasn’t successful long term. In the early 2000s, Braxton went solo and then reemerged with a fierce passion in the 2010s, which solidified her as a household name.

Her 2013 album “Love and War” was a critical success, earning three Grammy nominations and selling over 114,000 copies. It was her first studio album in 13 years, featuring singles like “All The Way Home” and “The One.” That same year, she became a breakout star of  her family-centered WE TV reality show “Braxton Family Values.” Fans loved Braxton’s bold personality, quick wit, and emotional vulnerability.

At the same time, reality TV has been a major financial cornerstone for Braxton. From 2011 to 2020, she was one of the main stars of “Braxton Family Values,” reportedly earning up to $75,000 per episode by the later seasons. She also executive produced several spin-offs, including “Tamar & Vince,” which chronicled her personal and professional life with her then-husband.

She made history as the first Black woman to win “Celebrity Big Brother” when the show aired in 2019, taking home a $250,000 grand prize. In 2022, Braxton appeared on season 7 of “The Surreal Life” reboot. A year later in 2023, she appeared on the dating reality show “Queens Court,” produced by Will Packer.
