Anitta

Anitta, born Larissa de Macedo Machado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the most successful Latin American artists in history. Growing up in the Honorio Gurgel neighborhood, she began singing in church choirs as a child before being discovered by producer Renato Azevedo. She signed with Warner Music Brasil in 2013 and quickly became a household name in Brazil with hits like “Show das Poderosas” and “Meiga e Abusada,” which dominated Brazilian charts and established her as a major force in funk carioca and pop music.

Anitta’s international breakthrough came with strategic releases across multiple languages. Her 2017 hit “Vai Malandra” was the first Portuguese-language song to enter the Spotify Global Top 20. She then collaborated with major international artists including Madonna, Cardi B, and J Balvin. Her 2022 album “Versions of Me” featured the global smash “Envolver,” which reached number one on Spotify’s Global Chart and peaked in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first Brazilian solo artist to crack the US top five.

Beyond music, Anitta is a savvy businesswoman and one of the most influential celebrities in Latin America. She has secured endorsement deals with major brands including Samsung, Skol, and Cheetos. She served on the board of directors at Nubank, one of the world’s largest digital banks, and has her own line of beauty products. Her social media reach exceeds 60 million followers on Instagram alone, making her one of the most followed people in the world.

As of 2026, Anitta’s net worth is estimated at $50 million. Her wealth stems from a diverse portfolio including music sales, global touring, brand endorsements, business investments, and acting roles. She continues to break barriers for Latin American artists on the global stage while expanding her business empire and cultural influence across multiple continents.
