Fiona Apple McAfee-Maggart was born on the 13th September 1977, in New York City, USA, and is a musician, singer, songwriter, pianist, and record producer, probably best recognized from releasing four studio albums – “Tidal” (1996), “When The Pawn…” (1999), “Extraordinary Machine” (2005), and “The Ilder Wheel…” (2012). One of her most popular singles is the single “Criminal”. Her musical career has been active since 1994.

So, have you ever wondered how rich Fiona Apple is? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the total size of Fiona’s net worth is as high as $10 million, as of mid- 2016, the main source of this amount of money is coming from her successful career on the American music scene.

Fiona Apple Net Worth $10 Million

Fiona Apple hails from a talented family, as her father, Brandon Maggart, was an actor, while her mother, Diane McAfee, was a singer; she has a sister, who is known under the stage name Maude Maggart, a singer, and a half-brother, Garett Maggart, who is an actor. Fiona spent her childhood divided between Morningside Gardens in Harlem where her mother lived, and Los Angeles, California, where her father was. As a child, she began attending piano classes, and in no time began composing, actually when she was only eight years old.

Fiona’s musical career began as early as 1994, when she taped and sent an audio to Kathryn Schenker, who then passed it to Andy Slater, the executive at Sony Music. Fiona was quickly signed to the Sony Music, and two years later she released her first album, entitled “Tidal”. The album became a complete success, reaching No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart, and achieving triple platinum status, increasing the overall size of Fiona’s net worth by a large margin at that stage, but also encouraging her to chase further her career in music.

She then began to work on her second album, and in 1998 it was released under the title “When the Pawn…”, which was also successful, peaking at No 13 on the Billboard 200, and achieving platinum status. Fiona`s next album wasn`t released until 2005, as she was dissatisfied with production of the album by Jon Brion, and worked on it herself. Entitled “Extraordinary Machine”, it reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200, and achieved gold status. Her most recent release is the 2012 album entitled “The Idler Wheel…”, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and which also increased her net worth. Following the release of the album, Fiona ventured on a tour across the USA, which also contributed to her net worth.

Thanks to her skills Fiona has received numerous prestigious nominations and awards, including the Grammy Award for her song “Criminal”, among many others.

When it comes to speak about her personal life, Fiona Apple was briefly, almost secretly married to a French photographer. Currently, she is in a relationship with Paul Thomas Anderson, and they live together in Los Angeles, California. She is known in the media for having legal issues, as she was arrested for possession of hashish. She professes to be a vegan.

Quote
1 The worst pain in the world is shame. I spend a lot of time trying to not do anything bad to anyone, but you can’t live your life and not hurt people.
2 Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.
3 I don’t have that spur on my ass that most people have, like, “Oh, god. I have to get something out or else my career will be over!” I don’t really care if my career is over.
4 I don’t go on lunch dates with friends. I hear about people having dinner parties but I never do that. I’m not really human.
5 When I was a kid–10, 11, 12, 13–the thing I wanted most in the world was a best friend. I wanted to be important to people; to have people that understood me. I wanted to just be close to somebody. And back then, a thought would go through my head almost constantly: “There’s never gonna be a room someplace where there’s a group of people sitting around, having fun, hanging out, where one of them goes, ‘You know what would be great? We should call Fiona. Yeah, that would be good.’ That’ll never happen. There’s nothing interesting about me.” I just felt like I was a sad little boring thing.
6 This world is bullshit, and you shouldn’t model your life about what you think that you think we think is cool, and what we’re wearing, and what we’re saying and everything. Go with yourself.
