All I Want For Christmas is Your Royalties

Once the song took off into the mainstream media, “All I Want for Christmas is You” started to appear in movies and other platforms. Outside of the Merry Christmas album sales, this particular song generates more than you need to survive each year. From royalties alone, the song generates a whopping $600,000 a year! Now those royalties are split among both Walter Afanasieff and Mariah Carey which estimates they made about $60 million to this day. With the help of 16 million sales worldwide, becoming the 12th best-selling single, best-selling Christmas single, and the best-selling Christmas single of all time, the song is the biggest success for Mariah Carey’s music career.
