The Bad Bunny phenomenon has no limits. The Puerto Rican is one of the most successful artists worldwide, ranking fourth among the most listened to worldwide on Spotify. Although his professional career is still relatively short, the rise to fame came meteorically for the Where She Goes performer, so it is no surprise that he is one of the highest-paid artists in the world. Proof of this is the large amount of money he shells out per month for his apartment in New York.
In the last few hours, it has been learned that the artist, actually baptized as Benito Antonio MartÃnez Ocasi, signed a lease contract for a penthouse in a luxury building in West Chelsea. According to New York Magazine, it is the most expensive apartment in New York City. On the other hand, the New York Post claims the place is on the market for $18.5 million, but that the Me Porto Bonito artist is renting it for $150,000 a month. This is a figure suitable for very few pockets.
According to some sources commented to the aforementioned media, it would be the most expensive apartment in the city at the time, at least, when Benito rented it last week. Experts also noted that the rapper is paying the indicated rent. The truth is that this large amount of money is a reflection of the great fortune that the Latin American artist has earned. At only 29 years old, MartÃnez has managed to accumulate a net worth of no more and no less than $40 million. This is according to Celebrity Net Worth, a portal specialized in estimating the fortune of celebrities.
This $40 million is what Bad Bunny has after taxes and expenses, which means that he has actually earned a much higher figure. In fact, according to the aforementioned portal, in 2022 she earned around 88 million dollars. According to Forbes, most of this wealth comes from his tours, as well as sponsorships with big brands such as Corona, Cheetos and Adidas.
According to Forbes, this figure represents 2022 pre-tax earnings, less representation fees (managers, lawyers, agents) and/or business operating costs, based on data from Nielsen BookScan, Luminate, Pollstar, IMDBPro and Variety Insight , as well as interviews with agents, lawyers, managers, executives and industry experts. As for real estate, in January 2023, Bad Bunny paid $8.8 million for a mansion with great amenities located in the Hollywood Hills.
His tours have also generated a lot of money, according to Billboard Boxscore. In 2022, Bad Bunny was at the top of the tours that grossed the most. And the artist made two tours last year; the first, called The Last Tour of the World, which ran from February to April and raised $116 million, and then came the World’s Hottest Tour, which raised $246 million from August to the end of the year. Added to this are the local shows in Puerto Rico, which raised a total of 373.5 million. Without a doubt, some of the highest numbers for someone who has not even been dedicating a decade to music.
