Katy Perry has a net worth of $260 million. She is a singer-songwriter, musician, and producer. Katy Perry was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. Perry was born to Pentecostal parents and born again Christian parents, and has a brother and a sister. Perry was brought up in a Christian home, and listened to nothing but Christian music growing up. She has been married once, to Russell Brand, but it lasted only fourteen months. Before she broke as a big singer, she tried to make it as a religious act, releasing only one album, "Katy Hudson", that did not do very well. It did, however, get good reviews from the critics, but sold only 200 copies.

She completed her GED in her freshman year of high school
