Why is Don Omar’s net worth so low?

Don Omar’s net worth is around $10 million, but he’s earned much more than that through his career. It is estimated that he’s earned well over $120 million over the years, yet his net worth is much lower than that. There are a couple reasons why:

• Don Omar spends lavishly. This is no surprise, and probably the main reason why many celebrities aren’t much wealthier than they are. For a while, when he was married to his ex-wife Jackie Guerrido, she took an interest in trying to curtail his spending a bit, but that didn’t last very long as they have since divorced back in 2011.

• Even though he’s sold multiple millions of albums, he doesn’t take all the revenue from it. Producing and creating an album involves many hands that eventually take from the pot when the album becomes successful. Nobody knows exactly what the terms of his contract with his record label are, as it is a private agreement.

• He has a lot of performance cars. He loves racing, which is an uber-expensive hobby that the average Joe can’t afford. Cars in general are known to be depreciating assets as well. But he enjoys them, and they are well-deserved.

Was Don Omar really a pastor before?

This fact has been confirmed to be true. He has always been involved in the church, particularly in the Restoration Church of Christ, and became a pastor for a total of four years. During his time in the church, he was also involved in singing, and really honed in on his craft.

He has split from the church since, as he’s become disillusioned with the increasingly institutional nature of it, but he has claimed that he remains a deeply religious person.
