Tina Campbell Net Worth

What is Tina Campbell's Net Worth?

Tina Campbell is an American gospel singer, songwriter, author, and reality television personality who has a net worth of $3 million. Tina Campbell is best known as one half of the gospel duo Mary Mary alongside her older sister, Erica Campbell. Beginning with the crossover success of "Shackles (Praise You)" in 2000, Mary Mary became one of the most commercially successful contemporary gospel groups of its era, releasing a double-platinum debut album and a string of hit gospel records while bringing elements of R&B, hip-hop, soul, and pop into their sound.

Campbell has also had considerable success as a songwriter. Across her performing and songwriting credits, she has won four Grammy Awards and received 13 Grammy nominations. Outside Mary Mary, Tina became a reality television personality through the WE tv series "Mary Mary," pursued a solo recording career, published a memoir, and scored her first solo number-one Gospel Airplay hit with "Pray for Me."

Campbell's finances attracted renewed attention during her 2026 divorce from longtime husband Teddy Campbell. In court filings, Tina reported earning just under $5,000 per month while carrying nearly $12,000 in monthly expenses, providing a rare public glimpse into the current finances of an artist whose recording career stretches back more than 25 years.

Early Life and Education

Trecina Evette Atkins was born on May 1, 1974, in Inglewood, California. Her father, Edward Atkins, was a minister, while her mother, Thomasina Atkins, was a choir director. Tina grew up in a large musical family and became especially close with her sister Erica, who was less than two years older.

Tina and Erica sang in church from an early age and later studied voice at El Camino College. During the 1990s, Tina performed in traveling gospel productions and worked as a background vocalist while pursuing songwriting opportunities. The sisters eventually connected professionally with producer Warryn Campbell and secured publishing arrangements with EMI Music Publishing. Tina's publishing credits used the name It's Tea Tyme.

Mary Mary

Tina and Erica formed Mary Mary in the late 1990s and signed with Columbia Records. Their breakthrough came with the 2000 single "Shackles (Praise You)," a rare gospel crossover hit that reached the Billboard Hot 100 and became a Top 10 hit in several international markets.

The song appeared on Mary Mary's debut album, "Thankful." The album topped the gospel chart, eventually earned double-platinum certification in the United States, and won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album.

Mary Mary followed with "Incredible" in 2002. The album reached #20 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold. Their self-titled 2005 album climbed even higher, reaching #8 on the Billboard 200 and producing the gospel hits "Heaven" and "Yesterday."

The sisters continued with "A Mary Mary Christmas" in 2006 and "The Sound" in 2008. "The Sound" reached #7 on the Billboard 200 and included "Get Up" and "God in Me." Campbell won Grammys both as a performer and songwriter during this period, including awards connected to "Get Up" and "God in Me."

Mary Mary's later releases included "Something Big" in 2011 and "Go Get It" in 2012. Tina, Erica, and Warryn Campbell won the Grammy for Best Gospel Song for writing "Go Get It."

By the early 2010s, Mary Mary had sold millions of records and ranked among the most commercially successful contemporary gospel acts of their generation.

Reality Television and "Sunday Best"

Tina and Erica expanded their audience beyond gospel music through television. The sisters served as judges on BET's gospel singing competition "Sunday Best," alongside performers including Donnie McClurkin.

In 2012, WE tv premiered "Mary Mary," a reality series following the sisters' careers, families, marriages, and increasingly independent professional lives. The show continued through 2017 and became an important second act for the duo, particularly as Tina and Erica began concentrating on solo projects.

The series also documented difficult periods in Tina's marriage, including Teddy Campbell's admitted infidelity and the couple's efforts to reconcile.

Solo Career

Tina launched her solo career with the 2015 album "It's Personal." The project reached #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart and #90 on the Billboard 200. Its singles included "Destiny," "I'll Wait," and "Love Love Love," which featured Stevie Wonder.

In 2017, Campbell released "It's Still Personal," an expanded follow-up that reached the Top 10 of the gospel albums chart. Its song "Too Hard Not To" earned Campbell another Grammy nomination.

After several years without a major solo release, Tina returned in 2024 with "Pray for Me." The song gradually climbed gospel radio and reached #1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart in January 2025, giving Campbell her first solo number-one hit on that chart.

Campbell has also worked as an author and speaker. Her memoir, "I Need a Day to Pray," was released in 2015 and focused heavily on faith, marriage, forgiveness, and the personal upheaval that inspired her solo music.

Record Sales, Songwriting and Royalties

Despite Mary Mary's enormous commercial success, record sales should not be confused with the amount of money Tina personally received. In August 2026, Erica Campbell revealed on her radio program that she and Tina had never received a royalty check from Mary Mary's recording career despite selling millions of records.

That does not necessarily mean Tina earned no royalties of any kind. Recording royalties are separate from songwriting and publishing income, and Tina has writing credits on numerous Mary Mary songs, including "Shackles (Praise You)," "Heaven," "Yesterday," "Get Up," "God in Me," and "Go Get It." She established publishing interests before Mary Mary's breakthrough and has continued writing throughout her career.

The revelation nevertheless illustrates how dramatically an artist's personal earnings can differ from the retail value of the records associated with their name.

Personal Life and Divorce

Tina married drummer and singer Glendon "Teddy" Campbell in August 2000. They have four children together: Laiah, Meela, Glendon Theodore II, and Santana. Tina also helped raise Teddy's daughter Cierra from an earlier relationship.

There is an unusual coincidence involving the Campbell family name. Tina's sister Erica married producer Warryn Campbell, while Tina married Teddy Campbell. Warryn and Teddy are not related; the two sisters simply happened to marry unrelated men with the same last name.

Tina and Teddy experienced significant marital problems that became public through "Mary Mary," including Teddy's infidelity. The couple reconciled and remained together for more than a decade afterward.

Teddy filed for divorce in Los Angeles County in April 2026, citing irreconcilable differences. His filing listed June 2024 as their date of separation. Tina subsequently listed August 8, 2024, as the separation date in her response.

Tina requested legal and physical custody of the couple's two minor children while allowing Teddy visitation. She also asked the court to prevent either spouse from receiving spousal support and indicated that there were no assets or debts requiring division.

Divorce Financial Disclosures and Monthly Income

The divorce proceedings produced an unusually detailed look at Tina Campbell's current income and living expenses.

According to financial documents filed in the case, Tina reported working around 20 hours per week and earning approximately $4,976 per month. That works out to just under $60,000 per year at her reported current rate.

At the same time, Campbell listed $11,933 in monthly expenses. Her reported costs included $4,100 per month in rent, $2,200 for utilities, $1,800 for groceries, $1,308 in automobile expenses, $266 for health care, $208 for a cell phone, $150 for education, $100 for laundry and cleaning, $400 for charitable giving, and additional miscellaneous bills.

That produces a monthly gap of nearly $7,000 between her reported income and expenses.

Tina estimated that Teddy was earning approximately $7,500 per month from his work as a drummer.

The figures represent Campbell's current cash flow during the divorce proceedings rather than her lifetime career earnings. They nevertheless provide one of the clearest public snapshots ever available of her finances after more than two decades as a successful recording artist, songwriter, television personality, and performer.
