Alicia Carey’s Net Worth And Struggle With Finances

Carey had to struggle a lot when it came to her finances.

It was never revealed as to how much she made during her lifetime. However, there had been issues between her and sister Mariah Carey.

After the release of the singer’s autobiography, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey” in 2020, her older sister accused her of defamation.

Mariah had mentioned how her sibling tried to drug her at the age of 12, sell her to a “pi*p,” and even gave her third-degree burns.

For these claims, the older Carey sister went on to file a lawsuit of $1.25 million against Mariah in the state Supreme Court in Manhattan.

There have been no comments from Mariah’s spokesperson about the case.

Alison claimed that her struggle with money had prevented her from affording dental restorations even though she had a sister worth$350 millions.”

As reported by The Mirror, she said in November 2023,

“I’m Alison Carey, unfortunately I’m living without teeth. I haven’t been able to replace them. I wish I could replace them but I just don’t have the money, so this is where I stand.
It’s almost impossible to get things done without teeth. That’s all I really have to say.”

Similarly, Carey also had problems restoring her Social Security benefits. She had received $794 monthly in Supplemental Security Income until July 20, 2020.

Her funds were later “mistakenly” deducted to $30 a month by the Social Security Administration. 

As per the reports by Times Union, she claimed that she was overpaid thousands of dollars during her time in a medical facility.

The authorities later had to cut her monthly funds to make up for the extra money lost.

After writing three times to the SSA’s office in Hudson, she finally contacted a staffer there who proved that she was in her apartment and not a medical facility, as she had claimed before.

Carey’s funds were eventually restored with an additional back payment of $684 after having acknowledged their “mistake.”
