Here's How Much Lana Del Rey Is Really Worth
Lana Del Rey should have no "Summertime Sadness" over her net worth!
Born Elizabeth Grant in Lake Placid, N.Y. in 1985, Del Rey took to guitar-playing and songwriting early, getting her start performing around New York City in the 2010s, per Biography. She began posting songs she'd written online, including her famous track "Video Games," and ... you know how this story goes. It soon went viral, and by 2012, Del Rey had a contract with Interscope Records and an album on the way. With a nostalgic, moody sound that was hard to place but easy to listen to, she was suddenly a massive star!
"I don't even know any people who are musicians," the always-candid Del Rey told Rolling Stone in 2012 (via Billboard). "It's not like I was in an indie community and then I blew up. It's like, I was living on the street,"
Things have certainly changed in that regard. Lana Del Rey has had a string of hits, from "Young and Beautiful" off 2013's Great Gatsby soundtrack to "Summertime Sadness," which reached No. 6 on Billboard's Hot 100. In 2019, she arguably lived up to the impossibly high bar she'd set with the album Norman F*cking Rockwell, which was critically acclaimed and earned a Grammy nomination for best album.
It's been smooth sailing for the smooth-voiced star, aside from some questionable relationships, a few controversies (okay, more than a few), and some shade (okay, a lot of shade) from other celebs. Anyway, keep reading to figure out Lana Del Rey's impressive net worth.
Lana Del Rey is gobbling up property in L.A.
What is Lana Del Rey's net worth today? The outspoken star is worth a rock-solid $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That's reportedly due to her Billboard-charting discography and stints crooning for movie soundtracks too. Del Rey has funneled that net worth straight into real estate.
According to Variety, the star, who personifies "Los Angeles cool," has purchased a bevy of homes on the West Coast. In 2015, she reportedly paid $3 million for a beachfront residence in Malibu, Calif. (which she later sold at a profit), and in 2013, she paid $2.5 million for a stunning brick English Tudor in the stately Windsor Square neighborhood of Los Angeles. But that's not all. She also reportedly owns two neighboring properties, purchased separately in 2016, that set her back another $5.9 million. Together, those two parcels equal nearly four acres of stunning hilltop bliss. In 2018, Variety reported that she plunked down nearly $1.2 million for a ... wait for it... "historic two-bedroom and one-bathroom cabin" — a million-dollar cabin! — in the Echo Part neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Well, she'll never drive too far in L.A. without being close to home!
