Share and Follow

Netflix’s latest competition series Building The Band challenges musicians to sort themselves into groups with total strangers. From there, they have a limited period of time to train and debut a live showcase performance.

Guiding these singers throughout their reality TV show journey is a very special mentor, none other than Nicole Scherzinger, who pulls from her experience as the leader of The Pussycat Dolls. Now that Nicole is shepherding the career of the next generation of vocalists, fans are wondering about her net worth.

Nicole’s Been Earning In The Industry For Decades

Nicole joined The Pussycat Dolls in the early 2000s, and the all-girl group would go on to be one of the most successful pop groups of the era. She’s widely recognized as the main face of the group, often featured at the center of their performances.

After the group disbanded, Nicole continued to work in music. Longtime fans of hers will note that she even leant her voice to a character in the Moana series, breaking into voice acting. Between her various roles in the industry, Fandomwire reports that Nicole is currently worth a total of over $14 million.

Her Reality TV Experience Is Extensive

Part of Nicole’s earnings also come from her time working in reality TV. She’s previously served as a judge on several shows, including The Sing-Off, The X Factor US, and The X Factor UK. Fans will recall that Nicole was an X Factor judge who helped put boy band One Direction together, a feat which came full circle this year when Liam Payne served as a judge alongside her on Building The Band.

When speaking about Liam’s memory, Nicole shared with People how she looked back fondly on their time together while filming Building The Band. “We’re so proud of him. He had such an amazing time. We had so much fun doing the show together, and he’s such a beautiful, kind soul and heart, she said.

Nicole went on to explain that she was thrilled that fans would be able to watch her full circle moment with the late pop star:

We’re just really proud of him, and I’m excited for everyone to see Liam shine. It’s really cool. We’ve come full circle, especially Liam and I from X Factor to One Direction, and he’s walked this path so he’s the perfect person to be able to help people in this way. And he loved it. He really believed in the bands and the show.

She also commented on a recently resurfaced clip of her assembling the boy band over ten years ago. “It’s really cool that it came out, because what people are actually seeing is me actually putting them together, the way my mind was working [on X Factor],” she added.

Nicole reported that, on the day of Liam’s tragic death, she and the singer were exchanging text messages, making his loss all the most devastating. The first season of Building The Band is dedicated to his memory.

Premiere Date

July 9, 2025

Building The Band is a music competition reality series that takes a unique approach to forming the next big pop group. Premiering July 9, 2025, on Netflix, the show begins with 50 solo singers auditioning in blind, isolated pods, where they can only hear each other’s voices. Contestants swipe “like” or “pass” as they listen, focusing purely on vocal chemistry rather than looks or personality. From there, selected musicians join forces to form six separate bands, moving through a series of challenges including live performances, songwriting workshops, and branding exercises. The show emphasizes not just vocal talent but also teamwork, versatility, and group cohesion, with the goal of launching a real, fully developed music act by the end of the season.

Guiding the competition is a high-profile judging panel made up of music industry veterans: Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland, and the late Liam Payne, with hosting duties handled by AJ McLean. Each judge brings personal experience from global groups—Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls, Rowland from Destiny’s Child, and Payne from One Direction—offering both critique and hands-on mentorship to the contestants. Their feedback isn’t limited to vocal performance; they also focus on interpersonal dynamics, branding, and long-term career viability. Liam Payne’s participation adds an emotional layer to the series, as Building The Band marks his final project before his passing in 2024. Throughout the show, viewers witness not just the formation of new bands but also honest, often vulnerable conversations about fame, pressure, and what it takes to truly succeed as a collective rather than as a solo act.
