As the Christmas lights deck up every household on the block with gingerbread whiffs contouring the atmosphere, besides the overwhelming holiday spirits, the Christmas jingles hit home. While Santa’s sleigh may be gathering speed, Mariah Carey’s legendary Christmas anthem has already made its festive entrance. But this year, fans have been treated to the stunning reveal of her annual take-home pay from the track, leading many to wonder if she has somehow unlocked the secret to an endless financial snowball.
If there is a queen of Christmas, it is none other than Mariah Carey. Since the last few decades, Christmas jingles have taken an uptick, but the one that did the rounds of every playlist unmistakably is her 1994 hit, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You.’ While the track has given a timeless holiday anthem to fans, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has given even more royalties to Carey over the years. According to Forbes, The New York Post estimates the figure to be around $3 million
while The Economist believes it is closer to $2.5-$2.6 million.

Meanwhile, Forbes reported that in addition to the yearly revenues, Mariah Carey earned $60 million in royalties when the song was first released three decades ago. Reiterated through endless streaming loops, and indefinite covers, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has become the jingle bell jam across every household. But the annual earnings are so baffling for fans that they cannot help but give Carey her due credit for cracking the code to an “infinite money glitch.”
While everyone at some point or the other has hit play on the track, barely anyone knew how big a cash cow it was in reality.
