Mel B Net Worth: Where does the singer’s fortune rank among the Spice Girls amid Rory McPhee wedding

Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B or Scary Spice, is in the news once again for her wedding with Rory McPhee on Saturday, July 5. While the spotlight is on her personal life, many on social media are also curious to know how much she is worth.

Mel B earned the bulk of her fortune during her years with the pop band, Spice Girls. While she also released a few solo albums that achieved modest success, her financial worth was reportedly at over $30 million during her peak. However, according to Celebrity Net Worth, that figure dropped over time, with her current estimated net worth is $6 million.

This financial dip came to public attention during her divorce proceedings. Court documents revealed a monthly spousal support order of $40,000, an amount Brown claimed she was unable to afford. Still, Mel B found steady income through television, notably as a judge on America’s Got Talent.

From millions to modest: Where Mel B stands financially compared to the other Spice Girls

Following the Spice Girls' split, the members carved out individual careers that brought varying levels of financial success. Let's take a look:

Mel C

Melanie Chisholm, better known as Mel C, proved she could hold her own as a solo act. Over the years, she released eight solo albums, a body of work that added significantly to her earnings from her days as Sporty Spice. Her net worth ultimately grew to an estimated $30 million.

Baby Spice

Baby Spice, or Emma Bunton, kept the music going after the group's breakup. She released four solo albums, several of which went gold. These projects, combined with her earlier success as Baby Spice, helped her amass a similar fortune, also around $30 million.

Ginger Spice

Geri Halliwell, or Ginger Spice, built on her fame through a mix of creative ventures. Although she stepped away from music sooner than some of her bandmates, she leveraged her high profile to generate wealth from publishing, television appearances, and endorsements. Her estimated net worth is $40 million.

Posh Spice

Victoria Beckham, charted a different course. She has emerged far ahead in terms of earnings. With a net worth estimated at $450 million, Posh Spice transitioned into the fashion world, where she established her own label and worked with several high-profile brands. Although her fashion business saw mixed commercial success over the years, her presence remained constant. She also added to her fortune through books, documentaries, and brand collaborations.

Mel B and Rory McPhee are officially married and the venue was seriously royal

Melanie “Mel B” Brown officially tied the knot with Rory McPhee in a stunning ceremony held on Saturday, July 5. The couple exchanged vows at The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, a venue steeped in royal history — it is the same church where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were wed in 1981.

The exclusive setting was possible because of Mel B’s 2022 appointment as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), awarded by Prince William in recognition of her advocacy work around domestic violence. She explained how that was possible during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“It’s a big deal because when you get married there — not many people are allowed to get married there. You have to be kind of special,” she shared.

Guests at the wedding included several well-known names such as fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, and comedian Katherine Ryan.

Mel B and McPhee had been together for three years before getting engaged. Per People, she recalled the moment fondly on Celebrity Gogglebox in October 2022, saying,

“He said, ‘I love you, you're my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.’ There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel — which was Cliveden. It was very romantic. I love flowers.”
