Take a breath: how The Weekend spends his millions

The Weeknd is one of the most successful singers in the world and his lifestyle reflects the incredible gains his talent has raked in. With a current net worth of about $100 million, he’s spent millions on luxurious real estate, sleek supercars, and even invested $7 million of his own money into his Super Bowl half-time show.

Some of the most expensive things he’s ever bought include a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, McLaren P1, a Hidden Hills compound with a full-size basketball court, and one of LA’s most expensive penthouses. His opulent homes feature mirror-floored auto galleries and rooftop terraces with city views, together with full outdoor kitchens and climate-controlled wine cellars.

Partial to beauty, inside and out, the artist has also rented some of the world’s nicest homes – he spent $100,000 a week on a mansion in Tampa, and even rented a $60,000-a–month New York City apartment while staying with his supermodel ex-girlfriend. Unsurprisingly, he prefers buildings with high security, and his NYC pad is famous for its “paparazzi-proof” reputation (as well as its many celebrity occupants).

The Weeknd came from humble beginnings, so he’s also a charitable celebrity, donating millions in 2020 alone. And his fortune is only expected to rise, with hit album ‘After Hours’ selling out a tour that’s expected to make him $1.3 million or more per show.

He’s also started brand partnerships with apparel companies, and is even getting involved with eSports.

So… where does he go from here? While only time will tell, one thing’s for certain: from living in a small town in Ontario to owning a penthouse towering over Los Angeles, The Weeknd has seen astonishing rewards for his extraordinary abilities, and chances are good, there’s more yet to come.
