Bad Bunny Net Worth: How Much Does the Puerto Rican Mega Star Have?
Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio is one of the highest-paid musicians in the world, but how much is the man known as Bad Bunny's net worth in 2023?
He started his music career as a rapper in the early 2010s in Puerto Rico. Now, he is not just a rapper but also an actor and even a professional wrestler, wrestling in the WWE every now and then. If rumors are to be believed, he is also dating Kendall Jenner right now.
Born in Almirante Sur barrio, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, the man who would eventually become Bad Bunny, along with his two brothers, was raised with music from a very young age as his mother played salsa, merengue, and ballads.
He grew up in a strict Roman Catholic household, much like many Puerto Ricans, though his music career actually began when he started singing with a church choir until he turned 13. His musical acumen continued to grow, though, as growing up, he would be inspired by other Latin artists such as Daddy Yankee.
By high school, Benito started freestyle raps and even started performing them in front of his friends as a joke. It seems that around this time, he wanted a career in music, so he enrolled at the University of Puerto Rico after graduating and took a course in audiovisual communication.
It was a rough first few years for Bad Bunny, though, as he was working as a bagger at a grocery store while studying. Around this time, he was releasing music on SoundCloud, and this got the attention of DJ Lucian, who signed him to a record label called Hear This Music. The rest is history.
Bad Bunny's Many Ventures
According to Marca, Bad Bunny was the fifth highest-paid musician in 2022. Only Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, Sting, and Genesis were paid higher than him in 2022, where he earned around $88 million for his music alone. Around $30 million of that came from tours.
However, music is not the only way Bad Bunny earns his money but also acting and professional wrestling, as well as some businesses as a side hustle.
