All I Want for Christmas Is You is one of the biggest festive songs ever written and the repeated plays every Christmas are bound to pull in a heap of cash for Mariah Carey.

The exact figures for the song are kept well under wraps.

However from what we can tell, it's a lot.

In the UK alone according to Metro.co.uk, Mariah is reported to make £380,000 (that's around €471,680) from the song. Another estimate reckons she pulls in at least $600,000 a year (€518,000) for the hit.

Overall as of 2018, the song has earned her $60 million reports Business Insider.

Mariah wrote the song in fifteen minutes in 1994.

And yet, the song only made it to the top of the UK charts for the first time last year, twenty six years after it was originally released.

Whether you love or hate it, there's no denying that the song has become a Christmas legend. So who wants a little listen to it?
