No genre is as natural for listening as the memoir. When you think about it, every day we listen to other peoples’ lives. So, why not take it up a notch and listen to the stories of people who inspire, intrigue, and entertain us?

The best celebrity memoir audiobooks are in a league of their own—there is no greater listening experience than a memoir performed by the celebrity behind the title. Their charisma and authenticity greatly enhance the experience, making it all the more engaging. In fact, many listeners who would never think to read a celebrity memoir in print gravitate to the genre in audio. There’s something intimate and magical about hearing, in their own voice, the nitty-gritty of a star’s path through the highs and lows of fame.

This competitive genre continues to evolve and innovate as more high-profile people discover the power of audio, often blending memoir with comedy, self-development, social critique, and exclusive performances. Whether they're known for their work on the court, the stage, or the screen, this star-studded, author-narrated list of our 100 essential celebrity memoirs shimmers with talent and intrigue, revealing the real-life stories of your favorite A-listers.
