While most people stress over their rent checks, Bad Bunny hasd casually dropped $17 million on Los Angeles real estate like he was picking up groceries.
The Puerto Rican superstar — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — has quietly assembled an impressive collection of West Coast properties that mirror his ascent from SoundCloud hopeful to global phenomenon. Over the past two years, the reggaetón icon has made calculated moves in the California housing market, securing two enviable addresses that underscore his transformation from grocery store bagger to cultural titan.
Building a Real Estate Portfolio
His first major acquisition came in January 2023, when he paid $8.8 million for a contemporary mansion perched above the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, according to the Robb Report.
The sprawling estate spans just over half an acre and includes a five-bedroom main house plus a two-bedroom guesthouse, totaling 7,316 square feet of living space. Originally built in 2005 and recently renovated, the property features a sunken living room, chef’s kitchen, and wet bar ideal for entertaining. The primary suite boasts a private balcony, a massive walk-in closet with lounge area, and a spa-like bathroom complete with a soaking tub. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, while outside, palm-dotted grounds feature a BBQ kitchen, expansive patios, and an infinity pool with an inset spa overlooking sweeping city views.
Then, in late 2023, the musician discreetly added a Hollywood Hills retreat to his portfolio, acquiring a Bird Streets hideaway from pop star Ariana Grande for $8.3 million.
Nestled across three hillside parcels, the single-story residence offers 1,590 square feet of rustic charm blended with modern updates. Built in 1946 and renovated in 2020, the home includes a large outdoor patio, dark-bottom swimming pool, and two-car garage—all perched high for dramatic views of West Hollywood. Though smaller than his West Hollywood property, the home’s allure lies in its privacy, with a long gated driveway and dense foliage shielding it from prying eyes.
Back in Puerto Rico, where his heart remains firmly planted, the artist keeps his living arrangements more private. He’s rumored to maintain a primary residence in San Juan, and during the pandemic reportedly hunkered down in a $3 million rental mansion on the island.
These strategic purchases reflect more than just savvy investing — they represent the financial fruits of an extraordinary career trajectory.
With a reputed net worth of $50 million, the 31-year-old has experienced a meteoric rise since his 2018 debut album. In 2020, he became the world’s most-streamed artist with 8 billion plays. By 2022, that number had ballooned to 18.5 billion streams, while his world tour pulled in an estimated $230 million, making him the highest-grossing touring artist globally. His 2024 Most Wanted Tour added another $211 million, and his recent 30-day San Juan residency generated nearly $250 million for Puerto Rico.
Beyond music, the artist has built an enviable endorsement empire with brands clamoring for his cultural cachet.
According to Adweek, his partnerships with Calvin Klein, Adidas, Gucci, Corona, and Crocs have proved wildly successful. His limited-edition glow-in-the-dark Crocs collection sold out in 16 minutes, while his hands-on Adidas collaborations pay tribute to his Puerto Rican heritage. As a global Gucci ambassador, he’s become a fixture at fashion weeks worldwide, merging traditional island flair with boundary-pushing high fashion.
As he prepares to headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, his real estate portfolio stands as another testament to an artist who’s mastered every arena he enters — from streaming platforms to stadium stages to California hillsides.
