Busking is an uncommon way to make money, but it’s how Allie Sherlock became a millionaire. The singer shot to fame performing on the streets of Dublin and uploads the clips to YouTube. As of 2025, Allie Sherlock has an estimated net worth of $3 million.

Sherlock’s YouTube channel is her most popular account. Based on viewing figures from SocialBlade.com, the channel makes around $30,000 per month from YouTube ad revenue. Her strong following online gives her extra ways to earn money.

In addition, Allie sells CD’s through her official website and has a Patreon account with 908 subscribers. The savvy musician also sells clothing on her Depop store. You can’t never have enough income sources!
Her deal with Patriot Records should have included a hefty sign on fee and steady earnings, but the artist hasn’t revealed the exact figure. Even so, as long as she continues to advance her music career, her $3 million fortune will grow. She’s already had more success than 99.8% of singers, as only 0.2% of singers make it big according to Quora.com.
Her tracks have racked up over 33 million Spotify streams, and she averages about 138,700 monthly listeners. Spotify pay roughly $0.003–$0.005 per stream – Allie has likely earned around $100,000 to 165,000 from the platform.
Early Life
Hailing from Cork, Ireland, Allie was born on April 7, 2005. Her mother died when she was aged nine, and her father, Mark Sherlock, has been her biggest supporter ever since. For her education, Sherlock was homeschooled.
Allie began busking at 11 years old in her home city, but later moved to Grafton Street in Dublin, where she appeared weekly. Her dad accompanies her when she sings on the streets and became her music manager. Initially, it was his idea to share her music online.
Rise to Fame
Allie launched her YouTube channel in 2014 and it slowly gained followers until she went viral after uploading a video of her singing Ed Sheeran’s hit song, Supermarket Flowers.
In 2016, she performed live at the Cork Opera House and the following year joined Britain’s Got Talent, reaching the second round. She also performed at the 2017 Miss Universe Ireland beauty contest.
In 2018, Allie appeared on The Ray D’Arcy Show and went to America to perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. This boosted her online profile even more. On YouTube she has over 6.03 million subscribers, an impressive feat in a competitive space.
Continued Success
Later in 2018, Allie Sherlock signed a five-year deal with Patriot Records, a record label owned by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and was backup for the pop band on their 2020 European tour.
In 2020, the Irish singer released an EP and an album titled “A Part of Me” and became a member of an artist collective named “Irish Women in Harmony”.
A year later, she released four singles. In 2022, she worked with the rock band Kodaline. During this time, she’s been improving her social media presence and has 3.1 million followers on Instagram and 1.6 million on TikTok. After fulfilling her five-year deal with Patriot Records in 2024, Allie now issues new material independently on her own label.
Personal Life
Allie Sherlock is still young, and hasn’t had much of a dating life yet. There are rumors surrounding her relationship with Cuan Durkin, a fellow busker who performed with her several times. But neither of the two has shared anything about the issue.
