What is Farruko's Net Worth?

Farruko is a retired Puerto Rican singer and rapper who has a net worth of $16 million. Farruko rose from the early days of social-media-driven reggaeton to become one of the most versatile stars in Latin music. He began releasing songs on MySpace as a teenager, building an online following that helped him catch the attention of major artists. His 2010 debut album "El Talento Del Bloque" marked his official arrival, but his big breakthrough came through high-profile collaborations and a talent for shifting effortlessly between reggaeton, trap, dancehall, and Latin pop.

Throughout the 2010s, Farruko became a go-to collaborator for chart-topping hits. He appeared on J Balvin's "6 AM," earned a massive global moment with "Krippy Kush" alongside Bad Bunny and Rvssian, and expanded his reach with crossover successes like "Calma" (Remix) with Pedro Capó, which became a worldwide anthem and earned multiple awards. His solo albums, including "Visionary," "TrapXficante," and "Gangalee," showcased his ability to reinvent himself. He moved from romantic reggaeton to gritty Latin trap to more melodic, Caribbean-influenced experiments, often ahead of broader genre trends.

His 2021 hit "Pepas" became one of the biggest global songs of the year, dominating clubs, festivals, and charts with its high-energy blend of techno, dance, and Latin rhythms. The success of "Pepas" pushed him into international superstardom and reinforced his reputation as an artist willing to take bold risks.

In the years that followed, Farruko surprised fans by stepping back from mainstream reggaeton to focus on faith-driven music and personal transformation, adding another unexpected chapter to a career defined by reinvention, collaboration, and genre-shaping influence.
