In addition to her singing career, at that time Perry worked at “Taxi Music”, a company that is based on helping musicians and songwriters. Before her major success, Perry did fairly well, as one of her songs was included in the soundtrack of the movie “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, and she provided backing vocals for such artists as Mick Jagger and P.O.D.

Katy Perry’s breakthrough came shortly after. In 2008, Perry released a song called “I Kissed A Girl”, as the main single from her second album “One of the Boys”; the single peaked at #1 on the Billboard charts; and attracted considerable media attention towards her. Even though the album itself gathered rather mixed reviews, it produced another commercially successful single “Hot ‘n’ Cold”. With the success of the songs, Katy Perry ventured on her first world tour called Hello Katy Tour, and also participated in the Warped Tour, as well as Summer Tour 2009 with rock band No Doubt. Katy Perry was at the peak of her career at the time, and therefore her net worth was increasing as well.

A year later, in 2010, Katy Perry came out with her third studio album called “Teenage Dream” that peaked at #1 on the Billboard charts and sold over 2.7 million copies in the United States alone, which in turn earned it a two times platinum certificate from RIAA. The album featured songs with Snoop Dogg and Kanye West and gained Perry a permanent place in the entertainment industry, especially after she guested as a judge on “American Idol” the same year.
