What is Bruno Mars' net worth?
Bruno Mars is an American singer-songwriter and record producer who has a net worth of $175 million. Bruno Mars, also known as Peter Gene Hernandez, has certainly done well for himself. Born into a family of performers, he first gained attention as a pint-sized Elvis impersonator, appearing in "Honeymoon in Vegas", and performing in multiple cities. From there, he branched out into writing and performing his own work, and subsequently relocated to Los Angeles, after graduating from high school, to pursue a music career full time. He was not able to secure a record deal that would go anywhere, initially, but in 2004, after signing with MoTown Records, he joined two other artists on the label to form, The Smeezingtons. The Smeezingtons would go on to write hit songs for a number of artists, including Adam Levine, Sean Kingston, Brandy, and Flo Rida. He co-wrote and provided vocals for two hit tracks in 2009, "Nothin' On You" and "Billionaire", and suddenly, it was time for him to step out into the spotlight. After releasing a moderately successful EP in the spring of 2010, he then released the first single from his debut studio album in July. The single, "Just the Way You Are", was a runaway hit, reaching #1 on the charts, and earning him a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal. His studio album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" since sold over 15.5 million copies. Many of his singles have also reached over 10 million digital downloads, making him one of the highest selling digital artists ever.
Bruno Mars has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has won 15 Grammy Awards, 11 American Music Awards, 13 Soul Train Awards, and four Brit Awards. He became the first artist to receive six Diamond-certified songs in the United States.
