In 2024, Alessandra Mele reported taxable income of NOK 1,389,696, according to Norwegian tax-list data reviewed by Nettavisen. Norway’s national average that year was NOK 417,386, so her figure was more than three times higher. She was 22 at the time.
It is a useful clue in a story where hard numbers are scarce. Mele’s net worth has never been published by a credible financial outlet, so this article sticks to what the record supports.
Alessandra Mele’s Net Worth in 2026: The Short Answer
Her net worth is not publicly confirmed. I could not find an estimate from Forbes, Kapital or any other reputable financial publication.
What can be verified is her 2024 tax-list entry. She was listed with NOK 1,389,696 in income and NOK 393,822 in wealth. Those are net figures, not a total fortune (more on that below).

Early Life: Liguria to Lillehammer
Mele was born in Pietra Ligure to an Italian father from Albenga and a Norwegian mother from Stathelle, and grew up in Cisano sul Neva. She moved to Norway after finishing school, settled in Lillehammer, and studied at the Lillehammer Institute of Music Production and Industries.

From The Voice to Melodi Grand Prix
Her first national exposure came in 2022 on The Voice – Norges beste stemme, where she joined coach Espen Lind’s team before going out in the live shows.
That was not the end of the road. She was announced for Melodi Grand Prix 2023 in January of that year and won the final on 4 February 2023, taking the most points from both the public and the international juries.
Eurovision 2023 and “Queen of Kings”
“Queen of Kings” was written at a songwriting camp in autumn 2022 by Mele with Henning Olerud, Linda Dale and Stanley Ferdinandez. The song is about self-love. She has said it draws on her own experiences.
At Eurovision in Liverpool, the song finished fifth with 268 points. The commercial afterlife was bigger than the placing suggests:
- Norway: The single debuted at number one on the VG-lista chart.
- UK: It reached number 10 on the Official Singles Chart.
- Europe: It reached the Top 10 in several other countries, including Austria, Greece, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland.
Queen of Kings by the Numbers
Streaming numbers are the best public indicator of her commercial reach. In February 2023, just after Melodi Grand Prix, the song had about 12.4 million Spotify streams. By early 2024, one Eurovision fan site put it at roughly 148.6 million Spotify streams, among the most-streamed Eurovision songs on the platform. I could not find a more recent count.
These figures are not income. Per-stream rates vary by country and subscription type. Labels, distributors and publishers take shares. And the song has four credited writers, so songwriting revenue is split. Anyone who converts streams to a precise payout is guessing.

What Norway’s Tax Lists Do and Don’t Show
Norway publishes taxpayer data every year. It is a rare public record of an artist’s finances, but it has limits:
- The figures are net of all deductions the taxpayer is entitled to, so real income is often higher.
- Wealth is also net, so debt lowers it.
- Many public figures run their own limited companies, where profits and assets can stay inside the company instead of being paid out as salary or dividends.
If Mele’s earnings run through a company, her personal tax entry would understate her total economic activity. I found no company filings, so I can’t say whether that applies here.

Releases and Recent Work
After Eurovision she kept releasing music. In 2023 came the single “Pretty Devil”, and her debut EP Best Year of My Life followed in 2024. Later work includes “Queen Almighty”, released through Universal Music AS on 26 September 2025, and the EP Peperoncina in November 2025. She also released the 2026 singles “Sydenflyet” with DJ MøMø and “Head Over Water”.
Her profile now extends beyond music. Nettavisen lists her among the celebrities on Norway’s Skal vi danse, where she and Espen PA Lervaag top the earnings list from the 2024 tax data. What she earns from the show is not public.
What We Can’t Verify
I found no confirmed information on her endorsements, property or investments. Claims about those on other sites are unsourced, so I left them out.
