Aaron Carter was an American singer and actor who had a net worth of $550 thousand at the time of his death. He became a pop sensation in the late 1990s, following in his older brother Nick Carter's footsteps. Nick is a member of the Backstreet Boys. Aaron's debut album in 1997 was certified Gold in several countries. His second album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," sold over 3 million copies in the U.S., making him a household name. Over his career, Aaron sold more than 4 million albums in the U.S. and 10 million worldwide. He also competed in ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" in 2009, finishing fifth with partner Karina Smirnoff.
Sadly, Aaron had several legal issues, including charges for speeding and marijuana possession in 2008 and DUI and marijuana possession in 2017. In 2019, his siblings Nick and Angel Carter took out restraining orders against him. Tragically, Aaron was found dead at his home in Lancaster, California, on November 5, 2022, at the age of 34.
Aaron died intestate, which means without a will. His twin sister, Angel, filed to be the administrator of his estate, estimated to be worth $550,000, including $200,000 in personal property and $350,000 in real estate assets.

In 2001, he made his Broadway debut and later released additional albums, including "Oh Aaron" and "Another Earthquake!"
