Cher, 77, who was born Cherilyn Sarkisian, legally changed her name to simply ‘Cher’ in 1979, and she’s known the world over by this moniker.
The legendary songstress has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the most successful music artists in history. And on her 77th birthday, the star asked her social media fans, “When will I feel old?” proving she’s showing no signs of slowing down.

So how much is Cher really worth? According to celebritynetworth.com, the singing sensation has a total net worth of $360 million.
Her staggering wealth is set to skyrocket even further very soon, and that’s because she’s set to coin in via a savvy real estate move. The star had her Miami home for sale in 2022, so there’s every chance it has already sold, bringing her an eye-watering $72 million profit.
The star originally bought the home for $2.95 million and the asking price was $75 million.
Cher attempted to sell it in 2009 for $45 million but took it off the market when it didn’t go, but it looks like the patience could have paid off!
Dirt shared details about the 13,200 square foot property with grounds that span 1.7acres. The house itself was inspired by Italian architecture and inside there are seven jaw-dropping bedrooms inside. The new buyers will find a movie theater indoors, as well as a dedicated wig room.
