The recent news of Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González's divorce has saddened many fans, but also sparked questions about the artist's fortune, which exceeds $200 million.
The "Big Boss" has not only captivated millions with his music. He has also amassed a substantial fortune over his 30-year career by diversifying his income streams through various ventures.
This impressive wealth could leave Mireddys with a significant share. While unconfirmed, speculation suggests she might be entitled to half of all assets, including material goods and earnings from his music.
Daddy Yankee's income doesn't come from music alone. Here's a breakdown of how he built his massive fortune:
Valuable Items from His Reggaeton Era
Urban artists are known for their lavish collections of luxury cars and flashy jewelry, often referred to as "bling bling." Daddy Yankee is no exception, his collection is undoubtedly noteworthy, rivaling those of other genre icons.
Selling his music catalog
One of the most significant moves of his career was selling part of his music catalog to Concord for approximately $217 million. This deal includes hits like "Gasolina" and "Despacito," along with rights to his name and image, ensuring his legacy continues to generate income. Such transactions have become common among artists looking to capitalize on their work, especially as they near retirement. Canadian singer Justin Bieber has made similar moves.
His impressive real estate portfolio
Daddy Yankee owns notable properties in Puerto Rico, including a mansion in Carolina valued at around $3 million and another in Luquillo, which was listed on Airbnb. The luxurious Luquillo home was promoted by the artist himself, with nightly rates of $84 (USD) and €74 (EUR).
It's believed he owns over eight properties in Puerto Rico and at least two in Florida.
While the total value of his real estate portfolio remains unclear, it's certain Mireddys will receive a significant portion of it.
