What is Maluma's Net Worth?

Maluma is a Colombian singer, songwriter, and record producer who has a net worth of $30 million.

Rising out of Medellín's reggaeton and Latin pop scene, Maluma built his career on a polished blend of romantic pop hooks and street-level urban rhythms that helped push Latin music further into the global mainstream. His commercial breakthrough came in 2015 with the album "Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy," which debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and established him as one of the genre's most bankable young stars.

He solidified that status with a steady run of successful follow-ups, including "F.A.M.E.," "11:11," and "Papi Juancho," each of which produced charting singles and fueled sold-out international tours. Beyond album sales and streaming dominance, Maluma has become a frequent collaborator across pop and Latin music, working with artists such as Shakira, Madonna, J Balvin, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin.

These high-profile collaborations helped expand his reach beyond Spanish-language markets and positioned him as a crossover figure in global pop culture.

In addition to music, Maluma has leveraged his image into fashion, brand partnerships, and live performance ventures, turning his early breakout success into a diversified and durable entertainment career.

Early Life

Maluma, whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias, was born on January 28, 1994 in Medellín, Colombia to Luis and Marlli. He has an older sister named Manuela. Growing up, Londoño Arias played football in school and competed in the lower divisions of Atletico Nacional and Equidad Sports Club. He also developed his interest in music as a youth while attending Hontanares School in El Retiro. At the age of 15, Londoño Arias and a close friend composed a song entitled "No quiero," which they later recorded in a studio as a birthday present to Londoño Arias by his uncle. Impressed, a group of music producers asked him to choose a memorable stage name. He picked Maluma, a combination of the first syllables of his parents' and sister's names.

Albums, Mixtapes, and EPs

Maluma's rise began in 2010 with the breakout success of "Farandulera," leading to a deal with Sony Music Colombia and his 2012 debut, "Magia." His trajectory shifted upward with 2015's "Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy," which topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and produced hits like "Borró Cassette." He continued his dominance with "F.A.M.E." (2018) and "11:11" (2019), both of which debuted at number one and solidified his status as a global icon.

In 2020, Maluma surprise-released "Papi Juancho," featuring the massive hit "Hawái." The song's remix with The Weeknd helped bridge the gap between Latin urban music and global pop, reaching number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following the experimental EP "#7DJ (7 Días en Jamaica)" (2021) and the reggaeton-heavy "The Love & Sex Tape" (2022), Maluma entered a new creative chapter.

The "Don Juan" Era and Recent Work

In 2023, Maluma released his sixth studio album, "Don Juan." This project marked a sophisticated rebrand, blending his signature reggaeton roots with pop, salsa, and electronic influences. The album featured collaborations with major artists like Carín León ("Según Quién") and Yandel ("Trofeo"). "Según Quién" became a viral sensation, showcasing Maluma's versatility in the "musica mexicana" space.

By 2024 and 2025, Maluma's music took a more personal turn following the birth of his daughter, Paris. His more recent singles and performances have reflected this maturity, balancing his "Dirty Boy" persona with a refined, global gentleman aesthetic. He also expanded his presence in film, most notably starring alongside Jennifer Lopez in "Marry Me." He continues to be a fixture at the top of the Latin charts, frequently collaborating with new-generation stars and veteran icons alike.

Maluma had another high-profile collaboration in 2019, partnering with Madonna on her songs "Medellín" and "Bitch I'm Loca" from her album "Madame X." Maluma soon reunited with Madonna for the song "Soltera" from his album "11:11." Later in 2019, he collaborated with fellow Colombian artist J Balvin on the single "Qué Pena."
