Aaron Carter was an American singer and actor who had a net worth of $550 thousand at the time of his death. Aaron Carter became a pop singer in the late 1990s, following in his older brother Nick Carter's footsteps. Nick is a member of the Backstreet Boys. Aaron also appeared on several television shows, including "Lizzie McGuire" (2001), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (2001), and "7th Heaven" (2004). Aaron's 1997 self-titled debut album was certified Gold in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Norway, and Sweden. It was his second album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," that made him a star. That album eventually sold over 3 million copies in the U.S. alone and launched Carter on an international tour. As of this writing, Aaron has sold more than 4 million albums in the US and 10 million worldwide. Aaron has also starred in stage productions of "Seussical" and "The Fantasticks," and in 2009, he competed on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," coming in fifth place with partnerKarina Smirnoff.

In August 2001, Carter debuted a new album, the certified Platinum, "Oh Aaron," and Play Along Toys released an Aaron Carter action figure. Later that year, Aaron appeared on the "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" soundtrack, and in 2002, he released the DVD "Oh Aaron: Live in Concert" as well as his fourth album, "Another Earthquake!" That year, Carter's parents suedLou Pearlman, his former manager, alleging that he owed Aaron a substantial amount of royalties; Pearlman was also sued by the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. Aaron didn't release another album until 2018, and the second single off of "Love," "Sooner or Later," was certified Gold in Italy and reached #4 on the Billboard" Spotify Viral 50. And just two days after his death, his final album, "Blacklisted," was released.

Carter began performing at age 7, when he became the lead singer of the band Dead End. He left the band two years later, and in March 1997, he sang a cover of "Crush on You" by The Jets while opening for the Backstreet Boys and was signed to a record label. Aaron released "Crush on You" as a single later that year, and it went gold in Australia. His self-titled debut album, which was released on December 1, 1997, reached #5 on the Norwegian charts and #6 on the Swedish charts. Carter's second album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," was released on September 26, 2000, and peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The certified 3x Platinum album spawned the singles "That's How I Beat Shaq" and "I Want Candy." During this period, Aaron served as the opening act for several Backstreet Boys andBritney Spearsconcerts, and in March 2001, he performed a concert withSamantha Mumbalive on the Disney Channel. The following month, he played JoJo the Who in "Seussical," making his Broadway debut at the age of 13.

Aaron Carter was born Aaron Charles Carter on December 7, 1987, in Tampa, Florida. His parents, Robert (who passed away in 2017) and Jane, ran a retirement home, and Carter grew up with older brotherNick Carter(one of the Backstreet Boys), older sisters Leslie and BJ, and twin sister Angel. Sadly, Leslie died of a drug overdose in 2012; two weeks before her death, Aaron had offered to pay for her to go to rehab. Aaron began his music career at a very young age, and his parents acted as his managers. He studied at the Frank D. Miles Elementary School and the Ruskin School and learned from tutors while touring.

Unfortunately, Aaron had a number of run-ins with the law. In 2008, he was stopped for speeding and was arrested when police found a small amount of marijuana in his vehicle, and he was charged with DUI and marijuana possession in 2017. In 2019, Nick and Angel Carter obtained restraining orders against Aaron after he told Angel that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and had "thoughts of killing babies" as well as Nick's then-pregnant wife.

Aaron died intestate, also known as without a will. Several weeks after dying, his twin sister, Angel, filed to be the administrator of Aaron's estate. According to the paperwork she filed in late November 2022, Aaron died with a net worth of $550,000, made up of $200,000 in personal property and $350,000 worth of real estate.

Ultimately, Aaron Carter's financial journey is a testament to their success.
