Fantasia Barrino, an American R&B singer and Broadway and television actress, is thought to be worth $5 million. As the champion of American Idol’s third season, Fantasia is well-known. At first sight, Barrino, who is confident to the point where you may consider her brazen, didn’t seem like the potential winner of the teen-focused competition show. However, thanks to her powerful, gospel-tinged voice, which never let her down, she not only won over the Idol judges but also the American audience. Fantasia Monique Barrino was born in High Point, North Carolina, on June 30, 1984. After winning, she released “I Believe,” her debut single, which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
She then released her debut album, Free Yourself, which was certified Platinum by the RIAA and earned Barrino three Grammy nominations in 2006; her second album, Fantasia, was nominated for three Grammys in 2008; and her third studio album, Back to Me, which was released internationally on August 24, 2010, includes the single “Bittersweet,” which reached the top ten on the R&B chart. She received a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the song. She also portrayed Celie in The Colour Purple on Broadway, and her records have been certified platinum and gold.
