Wow, get your money, Mariah! They don't call her the Queen of Christmas for nothing!

Mariah Carey's 1994 classic, All I Want for Christmas, has earned her $60 million since being released in 1994.

Every year in the U.K. the song brings in $500,000 to her in royalties.

She said the song only took 15 minutes to write alongside Walter Afanasieff.
