After being known as simply Ke$ha for the first part of her career, the "Tik Tok" performer has changed her name to its natural spelling, never stopping making hits - following a few years in show business, just what is exactly Kesha's net worth?

Following the grand success of singles like "Right Round" and co-writing the Britney Spears song "'Til the World Ends," Kesha's net worth is fairly high for someone who hasn't been in show business for that long - but, then again, her stint in music may be short, but she's still managed to bag a few number one hits.

According to TMZ, now Kesha's net worth has become the subject of news following a misunderstanding the singer had on a recent trip to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum: as she visited for a wedding, she was sure to snap a few pictures of herself next to the ol' dinosaurs - and it seems that the singer unwillingly left with one of the specimens!

Not only did she leave with them but, when security followed her to the car to retrieve the T-Rex replica, it just so happened that she'd left her mark on it: there was glitter all over the dinosaur!

Of course, Kesha's net worth will not be affected by this mishap at the Natural History Museum, but it's still unclear whether the whole thing will be haunting her for a while, after she was dipsy enough to almost forget all about the specimen of prehistorical history she had almost carried out of there.

In any case, Music Times has reported that the singer will be back on track making music as soon as she can, as she recovers from the tough year she just went through, which included rehab over an eating disorder and a lawsuit against her once producer Dr. Luke.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kesha's net worth is currently $40 million.
