A combination of concert performances and television appearances added to her burgeoning revenue stream.  Garland had a wide variety of income sources.  She earned money from theatrical appearances on Broadway and appearances at the Palladium in London.  Garland's financial biography is profiled in Money Secrets of the Rich and Famous.

For her television debut in 1955 on The Ford Star Jubilee, Garland received $100,000 - an incredibly high level of income at that time.  In the early 1960s, Garland received generous annual royalties from record companies, her only reliable source of consistent income.  However, an avalanche of extravagant spending, gambling, financial mismanagement, and  tax liens  would destroy her fortune.
