Yolanda Yvette Adams was born on 27th August 1961, in Houston, Texas USA. The main source of Yolanda Adams wealth is singing, though she has added sums as an actress, record producer and radio host, too. As a gospel singer she has been listed first by Billboard Magazine as of 2009. She has been active in the entertainment industry since 1974.

How rich is this singer? Reportedly, the net worth of Yolanda Adams is estimated to be as much as $5 million.

Yolanda was raised together with her six siblings. She is a graduate from Sterling High School and Texas Southern University. After graduation she worked as a schoolteacher and part-time model, but resigned with a view to pursuing a career as a singer, which became the main source of Yolanda Adam’s net worth.

She made the first step towards fame and recognition while singing in Houston’s Southeast Inspirational Choir, which belonged to the Church of God in Christ. The well known music pieces of that time are the single “For My Liberty” (1982) and the studio album “Just As I Am” (1987). It was Ben Tankard who invited Yolanda to sign a contract with the record label Tribute Records in 1990.

Up to date, she has released 11 studio albums, four compilation albums and two live albums. According to the data of Soundscan, the artist has sold more than 4.5 million copies of her albums since 1991, which has considerably increased Yolanda Adams’ net worth.

Currently, she is working on a new studio album which is going to be released in the near future.
