Ever since Bruno Mars first rose to fame, he has been one of the most obviously talented performers in the music industry. Seemingly born with the Midas touch, it often feels like everything Mars touches turns to gold. After all, Mars has been part of one hit song after another including “Uptown Funk”, "Just The Way You Are", "Locked Out of Heaven", "Grenade", and "Nothin' On You".

On top of all the hit songs that Bruno Mars has released, he has found a lot of other ways to make money. For example, Mars had an extremely lucrative Las Vegas residency that lasted from 2016 until 2020. As a result of Mars’ various revenue streams, he has managed to accumulate a $175 million fortune according to celebritynetworth.com. Once you learn how wealthy Bruno Mars is, it begs an obvious question, how does he spend his cash?

Living The Good Life

Just like most major stars, Bruno Mars leads a pretty amazing life. For example, most wealthy people enjoy things like travel, expensive dinners, and designer clothing. More importantly all of those things which Mars has, he has spent a pretty penny on his homes and vehicles.

In terms of Bruno Mars’ homes, he once bought a four-bedroom 4,124-square-foot home $3.1 million property in Honolulu. Later, Mars sold that home and then he upgraded to a 9,000-square-foot home in the same Los Angeles neighborhood where George Clooney owns a home. Said to have cost Mars $6.5 million, his Los Angeles home boasts an entire wing for his sibling’s kids. On top of that, Mars’ home also features a 12 car garage, a wine cellar, and bar, a sauna, a steam room, and an infinity pool.

While most people may consider a 12 car garage to be wildly excessive, it definitely comes in handy for Bruno Mars. After all, he has a car collection that has been estimated to be worth at least $1.8 million. As a part of that collection, Mars is said to own a Rolls-Royce that cost $289,000, a $72,000 Cadillac STS, and a $54,000 Cadillac Allante among others. Even though some celebrities have spent more money on their car collections, Mars’ vehicles are simply amazing.

Taking Care Of His Boys

In an ideal world, every famous musician who routinely performed with the same people for many years would have a great relationship with their peers. Sadly, there are many examples of music stars who didn’t have strong bonds with the people they surrounded themselves with. For example, it has been well documented that Nicole Scherzinger and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls have had their problems. On the other hand, Bruno Mars clearly gets along very well with his band.

When Bruno Mars released the music video for his hit tune “The Lazy Song” in 2011, he was surrounded by a group of guys sporting monkey masks in the clip. Even though that music video is so memorable, Mars and his backup band have changed up their style a great deal since 2011. For example, Mars and the band he tours with have been known to show up at some events in extremely stylish designer suits.

Fortunately for the guys in Bruno Mars’ band, it seems likely that they aren’t expected to foot the bill for the stuff they wear when appearing in public with the singer. After all, in 2018 Mars revealed that he got seven Audemars Piguet Extra-Thin "Jumbo" Royal Oaks watches for his band on Instagram. Amazingly enough, each of those watches would have cost Mars roughly $55,400.

Giving Back

On top of the money that Bruno Mars has spent on himself and the people in his life, he has used his means to help other people who are in a lot more serious need as well. After all, it is known that Mars has given his time and money to an extremely long list of very worthy causes over the years. For example, Mars has supported lots of charities including DoSomething.org, Global Poverty Project, Red Cross, Save the Children, and The Rainforest Foundation.

Even though it is great when people donate to trustworthy charities that have been around for a long time, sometimes there are immediate problems that pop up. For example, throughout 2020 and 2021, people all over the world suddenly found their lives thrown into upheaval due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an attempt to help a large group of people who were directly affected by the pandemic, Bruno Mars donated $1 million to the MGM Resorts Foundation. Since Mars routinely performed limited shows at MGM Parks from 2016 until 2020, it makes sense that he gave to a foundation designed to help the company’s employees get through the pandemic.
