10 of the richest Latin singers of 2024 – net worths, ranked: from Shakira and J.Lo to Bad Bunny and J Balvin, but No 1 is this 66-year-old, Cuban-American crossover queen
- J Balvin has collaborated with Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and Rosalía, while Bad Bunny made headlines for not only being the most streamed artist in the world, but also dating Kendall Jenner
- Successful acts that have broken into the broader pop world by singing in English include Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony – who was married to Jennifer Lopez, who’s also on the list
The Latin music business is a booming industry, turning many of its biggest stars into wealthy multimillionaires. The genre is so popular that it even sparked its very own Latin Grammy Awards back in 2000. Many of the artists have since crossed over into the English market, still raking in big bucks with their tunes.
Here’s how 10 of the richest Latin singers’ fortunes stack up, per Celebrity Net Worth.
