When Bruno Mars sang “I wanna be a billionaire” back in 2010, he probably didn’t know how far his name—and voice—would really take him. Today, he’s one of the top-selling artists of all time, and not only does he get to travel and make music, but he's made plenty of money doing it.
To add to his success, his 2024 hit single with Lady Gaga, “Die with a Smile,” is nominated for two Grammy Awards.

It’s 2025, and Mars is not a billionaire yet—but he’s a lot closer than most of us. Here’s a look at his career, earning power and current net worth.
Mars was born Peter Gene Hernandez on Oct. 8, 1985, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents are both musicians—his dad a percussionist and his mom a vocalist. So it was natural for Mars to develop his talent for music, and by toddler age he was performing as an Elvis Presley impersonator with his parents’ band.
By his teen years, Mars had taught himself how to play piano, guitar, bass and percussion, and after graduating high school he took the stage name Bruno Mars and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. “There’s something beautiful about being young, naive and uneducated ... you’re just free to fly,” he later told CNBC Make It.
In 2004, he signed with the record company Motown, but ended up on the songwriting track rather than performing himself. Mars paired with Philip Lawrence – and the duo called themselves the Smeezingtons – to write and produce songs for other artists. These artists included Brandy, Flo Rida, Cee Lo Green and more.
In 2010, Mars provided vocals for a few hits by other artists: “Nothin’ on You” with B.o.B and “Billionaire” with Travis McCoy. He also dropped his first solo EP and album, and the songs “Just the Way You Are,” “Grenade” and “The Lazy Song” elevated him to popstar status. “Just the Way You Are” also won him his first Grammy, and the rest is history.
What is Bruno Mars’s net worth in 2025?
Bruno Mars has an estimated net worth of $175 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. A big contributor to his wealth is record sales. Mars has sold 130 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists ever. He’s also been performing in Las Vegas since 2016, which has certainly added a large sum to his bank account.
Although it’s hard to say exactly how much Mars has made from his years performing at Park MGM in Vegas, it’s been a very lucrative endeavor. Between 2016 and 2024, his residency reportedly grossed $124.5 million, or about $1.58 million per show. He has more shows scheduled at Park MGM in May and June 2025.

How much does Bruno Mars make on tour?
In addition to his Las Vegas residency, Mars has headlined multiple successful tours—the most well-known being his 24K Magic World Tour, from March 2017 to December 2018.
While reports vary on how much the tour grossed, one site claims it sold over 3.5 million tickets to make a total of $389.4 million. This isn’t a far cry from what Wikipedia says, which is that it made more than $367 million. Breaking it down further, Wikipedia claims each show grossed about $1.876 million, as there were nearly 200 shows in the tour.
Wiki is not the most official source, and the most up-to-date data from Billboard estimated tour revenue at $240 million; but that was back in April 2018, well before the 24K Magic came to an end in December.
In any case, Mars made tens of millions from his 24K Magic World Tour. According to Forbes, between June 2017 and June 2018, he earned $100 million, much of which was likely tour revenue.
Mars commands a high salary. Like many entertainers, it varies depending on the year and what he’s got going on professionally. During a touring year, like 2017-2018, he can make as much as $100 million, per Forbes data. But the following year, from mid-2018 to mid-2019, he made about $51.5 million—still nothing to sniff at.Bruno Mars’ real estate
Bruno Mars has owned homes in both Honolulu, Hawaii, and Los Angeles, California. But where he currently calls “home” is his villa in Studio City, Los Angeles—a 9,000-square-foot mansion that sits on over two acres of land. The property is located in scenic Fryman Canyon and has views of the canyon, city and mountains. He bought it in 2014 for $6.5 million.
