It's no surprise, then, that ahead of her wedding to Michael Polansky she'll likely seek out a pre-nuptial agreement - for her own wealth, but also Michael's. Her fiancé works for Facebook co-founder Sean Parker, running his Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.

But how much is the singer worth? Here's everything we know.

Her net worth

The singer is worth an impressive $900 million according to Yahoo!, making her the next musician in line to join an ultra-exclusive list of artists who are billionaires. Gaga is hot on the heels of Taylor Swift, who reached the rare milestone of becoming the first musician to become a billionaire solely from songwriting and performance.
