When it comes to the history of pop music, few artists in history come close to matching the legacy of Madonna. After rising to fame in the '80s, Madonna became one of the biggest names in the industry by cranking out one classic after the next. Not only was she a monster on the music charts, but she also accomplished quite a bit as an actress. Over time, she has become an inspiration to artists like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, to name a few.

Considering her success, Madonna finds herself sitting on a mountain of cash, with a net worth of around $850 million to her name, according to CelebrityNetWorth. Her massive empire is truly incredible, and now that she is wealthy beyond belief, she can get her hands on anything that she wants. While some of her spending habits are totally outlandish, fans can't help but wonder what else she spends her millions on.

Updated October 2023: Madonna may currently have a net worth of $850 million, but given her international 'Celebration Tour', that net worth is only going to continue to rise. This is because estimates have the 76-date tour nabbing Madonna over $140 million. As such, Madonna will be able to continue to purchase just about anything that she wants for herself or those in her life and not have to think twice about where the money is going to come from!

How Much Did Madonna Spend On Her Maybach?

With an $850 million net worth, Madonna has been able to figure out just what she likes in life. Having been filthy rich for over 30 years, she has gotten a taste for the finer things, and it just so happens that she also appreciates a super expensive luxury car.

Some time ago, Madonna set her sights on getting a brand new luxury car, and eventually she would lock onto getting a Maybach 62S. This gorgeous piece of machinery was an exceptionally rare car, and the asking price for it years ago was around $500,000. It is unfathomable to most to even consider buying something like this, but most people are not sitting on $850 million.

Given that the overall price of the car is said to be around $1.4 million, one can assume that Madonna has shelled out an insane amount of money to make the car as perfect as it can be for her. According to Cheat Sheet, Madonna’s “million-dollar Maybach came with a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that generated 543-hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Despite being a heavy car, her Maybach could go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds.”

Some of Madonna's biggest investments in Real Estate include:

London

Owns approximately 6 properties

Sintra, Portugal

$9 Million home

New York

Multiple properties (ranging from $7 - $32 Million)

Beverly Hills, California

$12 Million Mansion sold for $19 Million

Portugal

$8.9 Million Estate

Hidden Hills, California

$19.3 Million Mansion

Now that we know that Madonna likes to spend the money to get around in luxury, let’s shift our attention to her real estate and see how the Queen of Pop likes to spend her time at home. Spoiler alert: it is luxury galore.

It is estimated that she once had around 6 different properties just in London, including Ashcombe House located in Wiltshire, England which was purchased for about $9 Million Euros in 2001. Madonna's ex-husband Guy Ritchie still lives there today. It is evident that London is one of the busiest cities on the planet, and it seems like most people venture out to London at least once. This no doubt increased her net worth, as properties will only continue to get more expensive there.

Elsewhere on the map, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Madonna also dropped a shade under $9 million for a spot out in Sintra, Portugal. This must have been a vacation spot for Madonna, who neared the 8-digit mark for the house.

Cheat Sheet reports that the singer has had plenty of places in New York, ranging in worth from $7 million all the way up to $32 million. One of the places she owns in New York was purchased back in 1985 when she was still married to Sean Penn, located close to Central Park, according to ArchitecturalDigest. Some of the places she owned at the same time and some have since been sold to other people.

Out in California, the singer nabbed herself a $12 million mansion in Beverly Hills, which she eventually sold for $19 million.

Madonna's most recent real estate purchases occurred in the last several years. The first, in 2016 was an estate in Portugal that was purchased for $8.9 million. The purchase, according to The Daily Mail, was to get out of the States after the presidential election.

The second was a Hidden Hills, California mansion that Madonna purchased from The Weeknd in 2019 for $19.3 million.

The superstar has had places all over the world. Clearly, she likes to live where the action and luxury are. Now, as impressive as all this is, it does not look that wild compared to what she spent on her own performance.

Madonna has spent millions on houses and cars, but the performer has also spent millions on her own performance. While this may seem odd, it does show that she knows exactly what she wants in her performance.

In 2019, Wonderwall reported that the singer was spending around $5 million for her performance at the Billboard Awards. The site states that the performance was going to include everything from CGI to holograms. Her performance was one that caught the attention of people, as it was nothing short of a pure spectacle. Given that she has been a force in the industry for decades, it makes sense that she knows just what to do to get the crowd going and make headlines.

With the price of a private island going for quite the pretty penny, it is safe to say that the star knows how to put together a good vacation.
