American R&B singer, Broadway and television actress, Fantasia Barrino, has an estimated net worth of $5 million. Fantasia is widely known as the winner of the third season of American Idol. Confident to the degree you could consider her brash, Barrino seemed an unlikely candidate to take the teen-oriented show's title at first glance, but with her dynamic gospel-tinged voice that never failed her, she not only became the Idol judges' obvious favorite, but the American public's, too. Born Fantasia Monique Barrino on June 30, 1984 in High Point, North Carolina. Following her victory, she released her debut single, "I Believe", which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Subsequently, she released her debut album, Free Yourself, which went on to be certified Platinum by the RIAA and garnered Barrino three Grammy nominations in 2006, second album, Fantasia, received three Grammy nominations in 2008 and the third studio album, Back to Me, was released worldwide on August 24, 2010 and features the single "Bittersweet," which peaked in the top ten on the R&B chart. The single won her a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. She also played the role of Celie in The Color Purple on Broadway, and has earned both platinum and gold records.
