Anitta age in 2026: the Brazilian pop star is 33, born March 30, 1993 in Rio de Janeiro. Her Equilibrivm albums, SNL debut and $40M–$50M fortune, explained.
Last updated: November 10, 2026 · By Nathan Cole
Anitta is 33 years old in 2026. She was born Larissa de Macedo Machado on March 30, 1993, in Honório Gurgel, a working-class neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and she turns 34 on March 30, 2027. The Brazilian singer, songwriter, actress and dancer has spent the 13 years since her breakout single “Show das Poderosas” turning a Rio funk career into a global pop operation — and 2026 has been one of her busiest years yet, with two new albums, a Saturday Night Live debut and a FIFA World Cup song.
Her net worth in 2026 is estimated at $40 million to $50 million, anchored at $50 million by the most recent 2026 trackers. The money comes from music and streaming, touring, brand deals and a boardroom stint at Nubank, Latin America’s largest fintech bank. This profile covers the full story: the church choir in Honório Gurgel, the YouTube videos that got her signed, the year-by-year climb from “Show das Poderosas” to “Envolver”, the two Equilibrivm albums of 2026, her acting and television work, her family, and what 33 looks like for a star who has already spent half her life in the business.

How This Age and Net Worth Were Verified
The birth date is the settled part of this profile. Wikipedia, IMDb, TMDB and a string of 2026 biography profiles all give March 30, 1993, in Rio de Janeiro, and none of the sources checked offered a competing date. The arithmetic follows directly: born March 30, 1993, she turned 33 on March 30, 2026, and turns 34 on March 30, 2027. Her height is reported as 162 cm by the 2026 profile trackers, which converts to about 5 feet 4 inches; older listings give 5 feet 2 inches or 5 feet 3¾ inches, so the article uses the centimetre figure and treats the feet-and-inches conversion as approximate.
The net worth is an estimate, and this article publishes a range because the trackers disagree. Celebrity Net Worth puts her at $40 million. Net Worth Spot, updated October 1, 2026, puts her at around $50 million. Current Affairs, published April 15, 2026, gives $45 million to $50 million. The $40 million to $50 million range follows that spread. One figure is deliberately left out: a $100 million number that circulated after a Forbes Mexico report. Celebrity Net Worth has said plainly that the $100 million figure is wrong, that it came from an incorrect Forbes Mexico report, and that a correction was issued. This article does not use it.
The 2026 career facts — the two Equilibrivm albums and their release dates, the April 11 Saturday Night Live appearance, the May 21 “Goals” release — come from Wikipedia’s Anitta and album pages (checked November 2026), uDiscover Music’s May 22, 2026 report and Universal Music Canada’s May 21, 2026 release. Album and single dates are given with the outlet that reported them in the Sources section.

Early Life in Honório Gurgel
Larissa de Macedo Machado was born on March 30, 1993, in Honório Gurgel, a neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone with one of the city’s lowest human development index scores. She is the youngest daughter of Míriam Macedo and Mauro Machado. Her older brother, Renan Machado, later became her artistic producer and manager — a family arrangement that has lasted her whole career.
Honório Gurgel matters to the Anitta story in a concrete way. She did not come up through a conservatory or a wealthy family with industry contacts. She grew up in a part of Rio that the music business rarely looked at, and the sound she built her career on — funk carioca, the bass-heavy party music of Rio’s favelas and suburbs — came from that same world. When she later took funk to the top of Spotify’s global chart, she was taking a neighbourhood sound with her, not borrowing one.
Singing in the Church Choir at Eight
Anitta started singing at eight years old in her local Catholic church choir. The detail shows up in nearly every profile of her, and it is worth pausing on: the choir was her first stage, her first audience and her first training. She sang there for years before she ever recorded anything, and the discipline of singing in a group — staying in tune, holding a harmony, performing for people who knew her — is the foundation under everything that came later.
She took her stage name from Anita, the character in the 2001 Rede Globo miniseries Presença de Anita, based on the novel of the same name. The character was a seductive and complicated teenager, and the name stuck. By the time she was posting videos of herself singing on YouTube as a teenager, she was already Anitta — the name, the look and the ambition were in place before the industry arrived.
YouTube Videos and the Warner Deal
Anitta’s break came the way a lot of 2010s pop breaks came: she posted videos of herself singing on YouTube, and the right people saw them. Her debut single, “Meiga e Abusada”, came out in 2012, and in January 2013 she signed with Warner Music Brazil. She was 19 years old, a year out of her teens, with a major-label deal and a debut album to make.
Her first television appearance had come a few months earlier, on the show Cante se Puder in May 2012, and she made her first TV show appearance on TV Xuxa in September 2012. The sequence is the classic one for a young Brazilian pop star of that era — television exposure, a YouTube following, a label deal — but the speed of it stands out. Within about eighteen months of her first TV appearance, she had a label, a debut single and a song that would change her life.
2013: “Show das Poderosas” and the First Album
“Show das Poderosas” arrived in 2013 and made Anitta a star in Brazil. The song was a funk-pop anthem about powerful women, and its video — all choreography, attitude and colour — became one of the most-watched Brazilian music videos of the year. Her self-titled debut album, Anitta, followed in 2013. She was 20 years old.
The album run that followed was fast: Ritmo Perfeito in 2014 and Bang! in 2015. By the end of 2015 she had three albums, a string of Brazilian hits and a reputation as the hardest-working pop act in the country. iTunes Brazil named her Artist of the Year in 2013. The work rate of those early years never really slowed down — it is the same pace she keeps in 2026, with two albums in a single year.
“Downtown”, “Envolver” and the Global Breakthrough
The international turn started in 2017 with “Downtown”, her collaboration with Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin. The song put her on Latin charts outside Brazil for the first time at scale, and it set the template for the next five years: Spanish-language collaborations with the biggest names in Latin music, released one after another. Read our profile of J Balvin’s age for the other side of that partnership — he was 32 when “Downtown” came out, and the two of them were the same generation of Latin pop, crossing over together.
Her first English-language single, “Switch”, with Iggy Azalea, also came in 2017. In 2019 she released Kisses, a trilingual album recorded in Portuguese, Spanish and English, built around the idea that she could work in three markets at once. The collaborations kept coming: “Faz Gostoso” with Madonna, “Me Gusta” with Cardi B and Myke Towers in 2020, and “Girl from Rio” in 2021, a song that answered the old “Girl from Ipanema” stereotype with a portrait of a real Rio woman.
Then came “Envolver”. Released in 2021 and pushed through 2022, the reggaeton track went to No. 1 on Spotify’s global chart, making Anitta the first solo Latin female artist to top that chart. The song won her the MTV Video Music Award for Best Latin in 2022, and she became the first Brazilian artist to win the American Music Award for Favorite Latin Artist. She was 29 years old, and she had done what no Brazilian artist before her had done: topped the world’s biggest streaming chart with a song in Spanish.
Versions of Me, the VMAs and the Grammy Nod
Her fifth studio album, Versions of Me, arrived in April 2022, diamond-certified in Brazil, with “Envolver” as its lead single. The album’s title was a statement of intent — she had spent her career being several artists at once, in three languages, and the record leaned into that. She followed it with a run of awards that filled the next two years: she won the VMA for Best Latin again in 2023 for “Funk Rave” and again in 2024 for “Mil Veces”, both from her sixth album.
The Grammy Awards noticed too. She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in 2023, and her sixth album earned her a second Grammy nomination, for Best Latin Pop Album, in 2025. Forbes put her on its 2023 30 Under 30 list. She was 30 when the first Grammy nomination arrived — late for a “new artist” by the usual calendar, and a reminder of how long she had already been working: twelve years from her first single to a Best New Artist nomination.
Funk Generation and the Baile Funk Experience Tour
Funk Generation, her sixth studio album, came out on April 26, 2024, and it was a homecoming. After years of trilingual pop, she built the record around baile funk — the sound she grew up with in Rio — and took it to the world. The album earned her first Brazilian Music Awards win, for Release in a Foreign Language, and its singles kept her VMA streak alive.
On May 18, 2024, she began her first entirely international tour, the Baile Funk Experience, to promote the album. It started in Mexico and ran through the United States, Canada, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, England, France and Italy, ending in Spain. She was 31 years old, touring the world with the music of her neighbourhood. The tour was also a business story: a full international run, in her thirties, built on a genre the global industry had ignored for decades.
2026 at 33: Equilibrivm, SNL and the World Cup Song
Anitta turned 33 on March 30, 2026, and the year that followed was one of the biggest of her career. On April 11, 2026, she became the first Brazilian artist ever to perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, in the Season 51 episode hosted by Colman Domingo. She performed “Choka Choka”, her collaboration with Shakira, and “Várias Quejas” from the new album. NBC announced the booking on March 26, 2026, and the performance put her in front of the largest American television audience of her career. For the other half of that SNL duet, see our profile of Shakira’s age — the Colombian star was 49 when they shared the Studio 8H stage.
Five days later, on April 16, 2026, she released her seventh studio album, Equilibrivm (stylised as EQUILIBRIVM), through Floresta Records, Republic Records and Universal Latin Entertainment. The record is built in two acts: the first in Portuguese, drawing on samba, axé, reggae and MPB, and the second leaning into spirituality and Candomblé themes, with tracks in English and Spanish. It debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Global chart, and it features Shakira, Marina Sena, Liniker, Luedji Luna, Maria Bethânia and Alceu Valença among its guests. The lead single, the samba “Pinterest”, had come out on March 6, 2026, and “Choka Choka” with Shakira followed on April 10, 2026.
Then came the World Cup. On May 21, 2026, Lisa of Blackpink, Rema and Anitta released “Goals”, a collaboration for the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, produced by Cirkut. The song blends K-pop, Afrobeats and Latin pop, and it was the fourth single from the album. Anitta told Universal Music that her connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional — she is Brazilian, and the tournament runs June 11 to July 19, 2026, across Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The second half of the album project followed fast. Equilibrivm II, her eighth studio album, came out on July 23, 2026, through the same three labels, with Maria Bethânia, Alceu Valença, Mart’nália, MC Tha and others among its guests, and a musical short film to go with it. A single, “LOCA”, had arrived on July 10, 2026. Two studio albums, an SNL debut and a World Cup song in four months — at 33, Anitta released more music in half a year than many artists manage in a decade.
Acting and Television: Elite, La Voz and Hosting
Anitta’s acting career runs alongside the music. She made her film debut in the 2014 comedy Copa de Elite and appeared in the television movie Didi e o Segredo dos Anjos the same year. In 2023 she appeared in season 7 of Netflix’s Elite, the Spanish teen drama, bringing her to a global streaming audience that had never heard her music.
Television hosting came earlier. She began hosting the third season of Multishow’s Música Boa Ao Vivo in 2016, and she served as a judge on the seventh season of La Voz México, alongside Maluma, Natalia Jiménez and Carlos Rivera. Her fellow judge Maluma’s age profile covers the Colombian star she shared that panel with. She also appeared on the soundtrack of the 2019 Charlie’s Angels reboot, and she performed at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics alongside Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, winning Best Brazilian Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards that same year.
Languages, Business and the Nubank Board Seat
Anitta speaks Portuguese, English and Spanish fluently, plus some Italian and French. The languages are a business asset, not a party trick: they let her record in three markets, give interviews in three languages, and tour three continents without an interpreter. The trilingual Kisses album in 2019 was the clearest expression of it — one artist, three languages, three audiences.
The business side is less well known and more interesting. On June 21, 2021, she joined the board of directors of Nubank, Latin America’s largest fintech bank, attending quarterly board meetings and advising on strategy for the company’s most vulnerable customers. Executives later said she played a part in convincing the board of the importance of listing on Brazil’s B3 exchange alongside the planned United States IPO. In August 2022, as her schedule grew, she asked for her board seat not to be renewed and became a global brand ambassador for Nubank instead, fronting its 2022 World Cup campaign. She has also worked with brands including Samsung, Adidas and Skol, and she spent several years managing her own career and directing her own music videos before signing with a United States management team.
Anitta Net Worth 2026: The M–M Range
Anitta’s net worth in 2026 is estimated at $40 million to $50 million. Celebrity Net Worth puts her at $40 million. Net Worth Spot, updated October 1, 2026, puts her at around $50 million, and Current Affairs, published April 15, 2026, gives $45 million to $50 million. The range in this article follows that spread, anchored at $50 million by the two most recent 2026 trackers. Lower figures circulate — $25 million in some 2025 profiles, $20 million in older ones — but they sit below every 2026 tracker checked, and the article does not use them. The $100 million figure is excluded for the reason given in the verification box above: it came from an incorrect Forbes Mexico report that was later corrected.
| Source | Figure | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Celebrity Net Worth | $40 million | Current listing |
| Net Worth Spot | Around $50 million | Updated October 1, 2026 |
| Current Affairs | $45 million–$50 million | Published April 15, 2026 |
| CAknowledge | $55 million | 2026 listing |
| Range used in this article | $40M–$50M | Anchored at $50M |
The money comes from four streams. Music and streaming is the first: her YouTube channel has more than 17.8 million subscribers and more than 8.41 billion views, according to Net Worth Spot, and her catalogue spans eight studio albums and more than 160 singles on Spotify. Touring is the second, from the Baile Funk Experience run in 2024 through the Ensaios da Anitta shows in Brazil in early 2026. Endorsements are the third — Samsung, Adidas, Skol and Nubank among them — and acting, television and her Nubank ambassador work make up the fourth. One 2025 analysis put her annual earnings at roughly $3 million to $5 million depending on touring and endorsement cycles, with 2022, the year “Envolver” went global, as her highest-earning year to date.
Against her peers, the number sits in the middle of the Latin-pop table. Karol G’s fortune is also put at about $50 million in our profile of Karol G’s net worth — the two women are the same generation, the same scale, and the same kind of global touring business. Shakira, a generation older and twenty years further into a global career, sits far above both. Anitta’s $40 million to $50 million is the fortune of a star who built a global business from a Rio neighbourhood, in three languages, without ever leaving funk behind.
How Anitta’s Age Compares With Her Peers
At 33, Anitta is younger than most of the Latin stars she works with and older than the new wave coming up behind her. Shakira was 49 when they recorded “Choka Choka” together in 2026. J Balvin was 41. Karol G was 35. Maluma was 32. The numbers matter because they show where Anitta sits in the Latin-pop timeline: she is old enough to have thirteen years of hits behind her and young enough to have released two albums in a single year at 33.
The comparison that counts most is with her own past. At 20 she had “Show das Poderosas” and a debut album. At 29 she had “Envolver” and a No. 1 on Spotify Global. At 31 she toured the world with funk. At 33 she has two new albums, an SNL debut and a World Cup song. The arc is unusual in pop, where most careers peak early and fade: hers has kept climbing into her thirties, and the 2026 output is the strongest evidence of that.
Personal Life and Family
Anitta’s family is small and close to her work. Her mother is Míriam Macedo and her father is Mauro Machado. Her brother Renan Machado serves as her artistic producer, a role he has held for years — the family business, in the literal sense. She has spoken about growing up with little money in Honório Gurgel, and about the endometriosis diagnosis she revealed in July 2022, a condition that affects millions of women and that she has discussed publicly since.
On relationships, the public record is clear about the past and quiet about the present. She was married to businessman Thiago Magalhães in November 2017, and the marriage ended the following year. Since then she has been linked in the press to a series of partners, including producer Murda Beatz in 2022 and Italian actor Simone Susinna in 2023, and she keeps her current dating life private. No 2026 profile checked for this article names a current partner, and this article does not invent one. She has no children.
What Is Next for Anitta at 33
The second half of 2026 is the open question. The Equilibrivm project is complete — two albums, a short film, a World Cup song and an SNL debut — and the usual next step for an artist at this point is a tour built around the new material. The Ensaios da Anitta shows in January and February 2026, ten performances across Belém, Fortaleza, Recife, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and São Paulo under the “Cosmos” Carnival theme, showed she still plays Brazil first. Whether the Equilibrivm material gets a full international tour in 2027 is the question her fans are asking now.
What is settled is the shape of the career. Thirteen years after “Show das Poderosas”, Anitta is 33 years old, worth an estimated $40 million to $50 million, and still releasing at a pace most artists half her age would struggle to match.
