Mariah Carey's Christmas hit continues to bring in millions decades later

Since the release of All I Want For Christmas Is You in 1994, Mariah Carey has become one of the most recognisable faces of the holiday season.

Every December, the iconic song returns to the top of global music charts, reinforcing Carey’s title as the unofficial “Queen of Christmas.”

Along with its popularity, the song continues to generate massive income year after year.

According to The Economist, Carey earns about $2.5 million annually in royalties from All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Since its debut, the holiday classic has reportedly earned her more than $60 million. 

The financial boost doesn’t stop with streaming and radio plays — the Christmas season also brings a packed schedule of concerts, TV appearances and holiday-themed performances.

Carey’s success goes far beyond music. Over the years, she has expanded her career into television, branding deals and real estate, building a powerful business empire. 

Her ability to turn her image and talent into long-term income has made her one of the most successful entertainers in the industry.

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Mariah Carey’s total net worth at $300 million, a figure that reflects decades of chart-topping music, smart investments and a holiday hit that refuses to fade.

More than 30 years after its release, All I Want For Christmas Is You remains a cultural staple. Check the lyrics below:

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

All I Want for Christmas Is You

Sure, please provide the text you would like me to translate

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

All I Want for Christmas Is You

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow (and I)

No voy a esperar mas debajo del muerdago

I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What else can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

Y todos estan cantando (oh, si)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

¿No me traeras a mi bebe?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

Esto es todo lo que pido

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, todo lo que quiero para Navidad eres tu

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
