Few musicians have garnered an international reputation quite like Pitbull, which perhaps should be expected for someone with the nickname “Mr. Worldwide.” Since debuting in the music industry with the 2004 album M.I.A.M.I., the rapper and singer-songwriter has grown increasingly prolific, with a sizable net worth to prove it.
Even now, some two decades into his career, Pitbull is still at work bolstering his bank account and is currently in the midst of his so-called ‘The Trilogy’ tour alongside Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias. Pitbull’s decades-long music pursuits are lucrative to the point where he can now rap about owning luxury cars and spending big at nightclubs while the rest of us debate whether to buy some avocado on toast.
Outside of the studio, Pitbull is elsewhere engaged in a handful of entrepreneurial ventures and business deals which likewise contribute to his net worth. So, what exactly is Pitbull’s net worth, and how did he acquire it?
