Five-time Grammy winner Mariah Carey – who is spending the holidays in Aspen – earned somewhere between $1.965 million and $2.38 million in 2021 from her 1994 hit All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Billboard reported last Monday that the 53-year-old R&B diva’s Christmas song generated 1.747 million song consumption units in US royalties, netting her $1.55 million.

It’s unclear exactly what percentage Mariah owns of the publishing royalties, but it could range from $415,000 to $830,000 on top of the $1.55 million.

On December 12, Carey – who has a reported a net worth of $340 million – celebrated the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth consecutive year, so a total of nine weeks at number 1.

But last Thursday, two-time Grammy winner Walter Afanasieff blasted the native New Yorker’s version of how they co-wrote All I Want for Christmas Is You 28 years ago.

“She doesn’t play anything, she doesn’t play the keyboard or the piano,” said the Brazilian-born 64-year-old Hot Takes & Deep Dives with Jess Rothschild.

“Grateful”: On December 12, Carey celebrated the song topping the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth consecutive year, spending a total of nine weeks at No. 1.

“She doesn’t understand music, she doesn’t know chord changes and music theory or anything like that. She knows no diminished chord from a minor seventh chord to a major seventh chord.

“So to say that as a little girl she wrote a very complicated chord-structure song with her finger on a Casio keyboard is quite a tall tale.”

Mariah’s 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, is next being adapted into a miniseries by two-time Oscar nominee Lee Daniels, who previously directed her in his gritty dramas The Butler (2013) and Precious (2009).

The Brazilian-born 64-year-old told Hot Takes & Deep Dives: “She doesn’t understand music, she doesn’t know chord changes and music theory or anything like that. She knows no diminished chord from a minor seventh chord to a major seventh chord.
