Her success in the music industry has led to a net worth of approximately 12 million dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Super Bowl Earnings
This year, Grammy-winning artist Kendrick Lamar and SZA, his former labelmate from Top Dawg Entertainment, will perform at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Many fans may find it surprising that these prominent artists do not receive any performance fees from the NFL.
“We do not pay the artists,” NFL spokesperson Joanna Hunter mentioned to Forbes in 2016. “We cover expenses and production costs.” This has consistently been the policy, as evident from previous Super Bowl Halftime Shows where artists were not compensated. Thus, SZA and Kendrick Lamar will also perform without a fee at Super Bowl LIX.
