How Carrie Underwood Keeps It Real with a $140 Million Fortune

With an estimated net worth of $140 million, you might think Carrie Underwood lives lavishly—but the country superstar is anything but extravagant.

Despite her immense fortune, the Grammy winner prefers a down-to-earth lifestyle. She and her husband, former NHL player Mike Fisher, along with their sons Isiah, 9, and Jacob, 5, focus on staying active and enjoying simple pleasures, like taking a walk or playing with their kids.

Although you’d expect someone in Carrie’s position to indulge in expensive tastes, she recently took to Instagram Stories to share a savvy money-saving hack. After noticing how much her family was spending on their favorite snack—a chocolate-covered, freeze-dried fruit called TruFru—she revealed that she’d started making her own homemade version to cut costs. “The TruFru addiction has gotten out of hand at our house. It’s so dang expensive, so I started making my own,” she admitted alongside a snapshot of her homemade batch.

Carrie’s frugal habits extend far beyond snack time. On her sprawling 400-acre Tennessee ranch, she grows her own produce, pickles, preserves, and even makes her own yogurt. Despite a hectic schedule that includes a Las Vegas residency, she cherishes time at home and fully embraces country living. “My least favorite part of touring is being away from home,” she confessed to fellow country star Jimmie Allen in an interview with E! News. “Despite living this life, I’m such a homebody. I don’t like vacations. I don’t like going places. I don’t really like traveling. I want to be at home.”

Even her beauty routine reflects her down-to-earth nature. Underwood often does her own hair and makeup for concerts and events, preferring to maintain control and enjoy the process rather than relying on a professional glam squad.

Her cost-conscious mindset isn’t just about saving money—it’s a core part of who she is. While Carrie finds comfort in a quiet home life, her husband Mike Fisher is more outgoing, thriving in social settings and surrounded by friends. “I would literally never leave my house,” she admitted on Today’s Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music Country. “I get nervous in crowds and group settings. He’s got a million friends and we’re always hanging out with them. So yeah, I feel like we balance each other out.”

Ultimately, Carrie Underwood’s blend of high-flying success and humble, homegrown living makes her a refreshing and relatable figure in the world of country music.
