Katy Perry made the headlines when she was spotted on a Montreal date with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just months after her split from Orlando Bloom. Now, she has seemingly made things official with Trudeau, as they made their first public appearance, holding hands as a couple.
The pop star was seen attending a cabaret show at the Crazy Horse Paris with Trudeau on her birthday (via TMZ). In photos obtained by the outlet, Perry and Trudeau walked out of the theater while holding hands and smiling. They were previously photographed on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara in September. In the photos, they were seen hugging and kissing (via PEOPLE).
He was also spotted at Perry’s Lifetimes Tour stop in Canada at the Bell Centre, Montreal. She is currently on tour promoting her new album, 143. Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire, separated in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. Fans want to know if the politician is the richest man Perry has ever dated.
Justin Trudeau’s Net Worth: How Rich Is Katy Perry’s New Boyfriend?
Justin Trudeau’s exact net worth isn’t publicly available at this time. Several unverified sources have put it at $96 million. However, no credible sources have confirmed this number. Some fans even disputed this high number, citing previously available records of Trudeau’s income.
Before he became the Prime Minister of Canada in 2015, he disclosed his income to The Ottawa Citizen in 2013. Trudeau revealed to the outlet that he had received a family inheritance of $1.2 million (via HuffPost). He added that his speaking engagements generated more than $450,000 in his highest earning year.
He told the outlet, “I’m not middle class. I don’t pretend I am.” His grandfather, Charles-Émile Trudeau, owned gas stations, real estate, part of an amusement park, and a Montreal baseball team. Trudeau’s father, Pierre, inherited his father’s money and later divided it among his children, Justin and Alexandre.
Trudeau and his brother received shares in the corporation called 90562 Canada Inc., which managed stocks on behalf of his family. Trudeau used to receive dividends upto $20,000 a year. When he ran for Liberal leader in 2013, he moved his stocks into a blind trust to avoid a conflict of interest.
As an MP in the House of Commons, his base salary was $167,400. His position as a party leader earned him an additional $56,800. His salary at the time was $224,000. As a Prime Minister, his salary was $406,000 a year.
A few fans on Reddit made a quick calculation, stating that he would’ve made $4 million in his ten years as Prime Minister. However, they claimed that after tax, it would only be around $2.5 million. This estimate puts his net worth at around $5 million to $10 million.
There are certain uncertainties in this number, including the real worth of his stocks. A user on Reddit also claimed that he received two pensions worth $8.5 million and a severance pay of $104,000. If true, this number would further raise his net worth. However, $96 million still seems an unlikely number for many fans.
Katy Perry’s Net Worth: The Singer Is Richer Than Her Politician Boyfriend
Justin Trudeau comes nowhere close to Katy Perry in terms of their net worths. According to Forbes, the Dark Horse singer has an estimated net worth of $360 million, making her one of America’s richest self-made women. She took a major step in September 2023 when she sold her catalog to Litmus Music for a whopping $225 million.
It should be noted that her music career has been earning her millions of dollars in album sales, merchandise, touring, and endorsements. She began her music career in gospel music in 2001 under the name Katy Hudson. However, it was her 2008 song, I Kissed a Girl, that propelled her to international fame. Here are the details of how much she earned each year from her career (via Celebrity Net Worth):
She became a judge on the musical reality show, American Idol, during its sixteenth season in 2018. She previously appeared as a guest judge on the show in 2010. Her appearance on the show earned her $25 million per season until she left the show in 2024. However, in the first season, her salary was $15 million.
Katy Perry’s autobiographical documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me, earned $32.7 million at the global box office. She also earned millions of dollars from her tours. Here’s how much she made from each tour before Lifetimes Tour.
As for real estate, Katy Perry was stuck in a years-long legal battle with businesswoman Dana Hollister over an 8.5-acre property with a 1920s mansion. Perry emerged victorious, and Hollister was ordered to pay $6.5 million in damages. However, Perry’s bid to buy the property remains in limbo.
She and Orlando Bloom landed in another legal trouble over their $15 million home in Montecito, California. While Perry emerged successful in the case, she and Bloom could never occupy that home. Instead, they bought another property for $14.2 million in Montecito. In 2023, Perry paid $11 million for a 3-bedroom LA penthouse. She acquired and sold several properties in LA over the past decade.
Is Justin Trudeau the Richest of Katy Perry’s Boyfriends?
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were a couple from 2016 to 2025. They had broken up in 2017, but got back together the next year. In 2020, they welcomed a daughter. However, they ended things in 2025. Bloom has been part of famous IP films like The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. He has an estimated net worth of $40 million, made from his movies and real estate ventures.
Before Bloom, Perry was married to English comedian Russell Brand. They got married in 2010. However, Brand filed for divorce in December 2011. Their divorce was finalized in 2012. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brand’s net worth is estimated to be $20 million.
Justin Trudeau may not match up to Bloom or Brand with his modest net worth. However, neither Bloom nor Brand is the richest person Katy Perry has ever dated. She had an on-again-off-again relationship with Grammy-winning musician John Mayer.
The Heavier Things singer has sold over 20 million album copies worldwide (via THR). However, his estimated net worth of $100 million is still lower than Perry’s massive net worth.
