It’s a safe bet that everyone can easily name their favorite female pop star from the golden age of music in the ’00s. But do you also know who is the wealthiest?

Pop music soared to new heights as we moved into a new millennium in 2000, and we were introduced to an entirely new generation of stars.

Some of the musicians who defined the ’00s started laying a groundwork in the ’90s or even earlier. However, others were just getting started and have taken us on exciting journeys.

Of course, many of them are also still churning out amazing content all the way into 2024, and they don’t show signs of slowing down.

Music is a lucrative career, and that is evident when looking at the net worth of these musicians.

Curious to see just how much they have earned?

With the start of the 2024 Coachella Music Festival, which sees the reunion of Gwen Stefanie‘s No Doubt, we decided to take a stroll down memory lane. We rounded up some of the most prominent names from the ’00s and ranked them based on their estimated net worth.

What did we learn? Several pop stars of the era are members of the billionaire’s club today, and they’ve all amassed impressive fortunes. However, the top earner still beats out her closest competitor by about $600 million!

Willa Ford is clarifying the comments she made about 9/11 and her music career, which led people to believe she blamed the tragic terrorist attack for her lack of success in the music industry.

The “I Wanna Be Bad” singer said that her second single was released on 9/11 and “everything that happened that day froze.”

“My second single didn’t do well because anything that launched that day kind of got canned,” she added in an interview with Billboard.

Willa spoke to People to clarify the comments after they went viral.

“In a recent interview with Billboard, I made a comment about the release of a single by my record label on September 11, 2001, where I stated ‘Everything that happened that day froze; the world stood still as it should have.’ During the past day, other news outlets have taken the liberty to say that I somehow blamed 9/11 for my song not taking off … this could not be further from the truth,” Willa said.

“It was meant to be an inspirational piece about how the universe sent me in a new and different direction, one that has led me to success and joy in other areas of my personal and professional life,” she added.

Willa Ford, known for her 2001 hit “I Wanna Be Bad,” is speaking about why she thinks she never had another hit.

“A lot of people don’t realize this, but my second single was released on September 11, 2001. Everything that happened that day froze; the world stood still, as it should have,” Willa told Billboard. “My second single didn’t do well because anything that launched that day kind of got canned.”

“I really took a step back because I felt like I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing at the time. I know that sounds crazy, but it was the perfect storm, and I walked away,” Willa continued. “When I look at Kylie Minogue, she did [her comeback] really right. She did ‘Loco-Motion,’ she went away for 20 years – which is almost how long I’ve gone away – and then she comes back with this amazing dance-pop record. For me it was groundbreaking in the states.”

“I really do miss music. It’s my first passion, my first love,” she added.

Willa Ford and her husband of five years, retired hockey player Mike Modano, are getting a divorce, her rep confirms to JustJared.com.

“It is with great sadness that after five years of marriage, Willa and Mike have decided to divorce. They remain friends and wish each other success and happiness,” the 31-year-old singer’s rep said in a statement.

Willa is best known for her hit song “I Wanna Be Bad” and her appearance on the third season of Dancing With the Stars.
