Cher

Biography

Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPiere; May 20, 1946)[1] is an American pop music singer-songwriter, actress and record producer. Among her career accomplishments in music, television and film, she has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award and three Golden Globe Awards among others. Cher rose to prominence in 1965 as one half of the pop/rock duo Sonny & Cher. She subsequently established herself as a solo recording artist, a television star in the 1970's and a film actress in the 1980's. Her smash hit single, "Believe" (1998), is the third biggest-selling single released by a female musician worldwide, the biggest-selling ever for Warner Bros. Records and the biggest-selling dance song, having sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Guinness World Records list her as the only female recording artist to have Top 10 hits in every decade of her career and the oldest female artist to reach number one. In 2002, Rolling Stone estimates her personal net worth at over $600 million. With a career lasting over 40 years and showing no signs of abating, Cher is an enduring pop culture icon and one of the most popular and biggest-selling artists in music history, having sold 275 million records worldwide (includes the ones with Sonny Bono). She is currently performing at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with her show "Cher at the Colosseum".
