The teen star’s hit song has now been downloaded over two million times earning the singer more than £850,000.
Black and her record company Ark Music Factory also stand to rake in around £12,000 from YouTube.
The video has now been viewed over 33 million times even though the track has been slammed as one of the worst songs ever created.
Black’s mum paid £1,200 to Ark Music Factory to create the song and record the video for her aspiring pop wannabe daughter.
The 13-year-old was heavily criticised for her Auto-Tuned vocals on Friday and performed a special unplugged version on Good Morning America in a bid to show music fans that she could sing without the help of technology.
She also confessed to being a huge Justin Bieber fan and begged the Canadian star for a duet.
He replied by tweeting: ‘Sunday comes after Saturday? Weird.’
But X Factor star Simon Cowell has confessed that he’s a big fan of Black’s song Friday.
He told Entertainment Weekly: ‘I think it’s genius. The fact that everyone’s getting upset about it is hysterical.’
