Rosalía was asked in 2017 if she considered herself a middle-class girl. “I don’t know. Where is the limit? My parents are very hard-working,” she replied then. Of course, at that time the Barcelona native was not what she is today: an international icon of pop and urban music.
With her tireless work that continues to translate into worldwide successes, the artist was recognized last year with the Latin Grammy for album of the year for Motomami, the same award that he already won in 2019 for the album The Evil Want.
Since then, Rosalía has continued to fill concerts around the world and in the United States she has become one of the public’s favorite artists: all her tickets in the American country were sold out in just one day.
This year, their new release, RRwith only 3 songs, has also been very well received by her fans, as it came loaded with a vital moment for the Barcelona native: she revealed that she was engaged to her partner, Rauw Alejandro, in the song Beso. Sadly, the couple confirmed their breakup a few weeks ago.

With a career that seems to have no end, it is difficult to know exactly what the singer’s net worth is, but according to digital marketing expert, José Noblejas, Brand, The artist’s wealth is estimated to be around 50 million euros.
The most international Spanish singer has had no problem talking about money in her songs. Milionària and Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero are two of the singles related to capital. In the first of them she sings in Catalan that she only wants to see 100-dollar bills, “with the dollar symbol on their heads,” and in the second she asks God to free her from money by wanting, wearing, counting and having.
Rosalía talks about money, and in Business Insider we talked about Rosalía’s money. This is how the international ambassador of flamenco pop makes and spends her fortune.
Her final project has gone platinum in Spain (more than 40,000 copies sold): she presented it as a project in 2016 when she was a student at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya.
‘El mal querer: design of a show’ was the title of his Final Degree Project.
Los ángeles, her first LP, already put her on the radar. But it was she who set the pace: she signed with Sony when El Mal Querer was already finished. Together with guitarist Raül Refree, Rosalía came to be considered “the Patti Smith of the tablaos.”
Los Ángeles, her debut album, entered the sales charts as the 42nd best-selling album in February 2017: after 2 months it rose to 28th place.
At this time it began to attract public attention.
Despite her success, she is devoted to her family: her mother and sister work for her.
Her mother Pilar Tovella works as a secretary and her sister Pili Vila, known on social media as Daikyri, is an image consultant; according to a former teacher of Rosalía in Look.
Her family always supported her: they invested 20,000 euros in a private school and another 5,000 in the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, explains one of her former teachers.

When the public already knew her, the singer was the protagonist of a controversy related to her salary: the mayor of Valladolid pointed her out for asking for 500,000 euros.
However, Rosalía denied that this was the case: “It’s far from true.”
One of the concerts that established her as an artist was in Madrid in 2018, and it was free.
In several interviews, Rosalía was asked if she is not worried that the increase in the price of her shows will leave many of her fans out: she confirmed that she always looks for a way to “leave no one behind.”
For her last concerts in Madrid this year, for example, tickets have cost from 75 euros with a general pass, to 400 euros for VIP tickets, where you could meet her after the concert in a after.
Although the bulk of her income comes from her concerts, Rosalía, who wears her friends’ designs – such as Palomo Spain – has also signed agreements with Inditex, Maybelline, Cupra, Skims and Coca-Cola.
The Catalan company is increasingly signing advertisements or agreements with different brands. In the Cupra spot, we can hear her using a new alphabet, something different from the one heard on Motomami.
In 2021, she also signed a contract with Maybelline, but the most talked-about have been her collaboration with Coca-Cola to release a soft drink inspired by the artist: Taste the transformation, and her poses for the Skims brand, Kim Kardashian’s lingerie brand.
Thanks to his rise to fame, he has already collaborated with international figures such as Apple CEO Tim Cook…
…or with one of the series that have made history this decade, Game of Thrones. It made its way onto the latest disc of the HBO fiction.
Although her exact net worth is unknown, she has publicly admitted one of her obsessions: XXL nails with diamonds — and even Swarovski.
Her beautician has admitted that these are not nails she wears every day, and that she gets them done in 3-hour sessions for which she pays 80 euros.
But we know that some of her whims are unattainable dreams for others, like this mini bag that costs more than 400 euros.
Of course, he prefers “tracksuits to jeans” although he also dresses in Gucci, Vuitton, Balenciaga, Versace and Prada.
The tracksuit thing is serious, even on the cover of their latest single.
Record companies are going crazy for her: Rosalía is a money-making machine and never stops winning awards.
In a report by Diego G. Veigas for The Spanisha former employee of several international labels, explains that these large contracts “advance a good part to the artist”, so the main objective is to recover that investment as soon as possible.
And it makes perfect sense: the artist is a guaranteed hit. Since her career began in 2018, Rosalía already has 12 Grammy Awards in categories as diverse as Best Fusion/Urban Performance for Malamente in 2018, Best Album of the Year for The Evil Want in 2019 or best urban song by Yox You, you x mewith Ozuna also in 2019.
In 2022, the artist received 4 golden figurines with Motomami alone: the award for Best Album, Best Recording Engineering for an Album, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Packaging Design.
Her success in the United States has led her to be invited to one of the most famous shows in the country: she won the hearts of Jimmy Fallon and his entire audience.

Invited to promote Motomami’s album after the success of El mal querer and Malamente in the American country, Rosalía told an anecdote that captivated the audience even more.

After having lived the last few years between Miami, New York and Los Angeles, the singer took up residence in the city of Florida, where singer Rarw Alejandro also had a permanent residence.
After the breakup, removing the “RR” tattoo that Rosalía has on the sole of her foot could cost her more than 500 euros.

Although the artist has never confirmed that the double R tattoo on the sole of her foot was motivated by her love story with Rauw Alejandro, the name of the album they released together may give an idea that this was the case.
In addition to that tattoo, Rosalía did confirm in an interview with Ibai that she has Raúl’s name tattooed on her—the Puerto Rican singer’s real name—just as he has her name tattooed on his stomach.
