English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Mario Vaquerizo has stated that his intention is to buy the building on Madrid's Gran Vía where he lives, along with the two ground-floor commercial premises, and has put his property wealth at more than five million euros.

Mario Vaquerizo said it plainly on Vicky Martín Berrocal's podcast: he wants the entire building on Madrid's Gran Vía where he has his home, plus the two premises below. It is not a dinner-party whim. Behind it lies a portfolio of apartments, a villa in Boadilla del Monte and a couple of companies through which he bills his musical and television activity.

## Six apartments, a villa and two rented-out premises

The core of his wealth is in central Madrid. Vaquerizo owns **six apartments** in the capital, the first bought together with Alaska. The well-known pink house, near **Callao** square, is an apartment in a historic **19th-century** building famous for its ornate decoration. In the same building he owns a second apartment.

Added to that are other apartments in the city centre and **two commercial premises** used for renting out, which provide him with a fixed income. Outside the city centre, the couple bought a villa in **Boadilla del Monte** with a plot of nearly **2,000 square metres**, valued at **1.5 million euros**.

The overall figure in the published report puts his wealth above **five million euros**. Almost all of it concentrated in property and in established areas of Madrid, not in financial products.

## "I believe in bricks and mortar"

Vaquerizo describes himself as a convinced capitalist and argues it with a simple thesis: he believes in property, not in investment funds or bonds. His reasoning is that real estate will always be worth money. He describes himself as an ant who saves, although he admits he spends too.

The plan has a professional expiry date. When he turns **80** he does not intend to carry on with **Nancys Rubias**, so he is looking for income that will support him then. Hence the interest in keeping the pink house and turning the rest of the building into a hotel. It is, in his words, a matter of peace of mind about the future.

## Companies to channel his income

The financial side is not left to chance. He personally manages his income from music, representation and television through companies such as **Vaquermusic S.L.** and **Prensa y Representación**, from which he contracts his work with the group and the rest of his commitments.

This structure separates professional billing from personal wealth and is common among public figures with irregular income. The purchase of the building, if it goes through, would fit into that logic of accumulating tangible assets instead of market instruments.

These statements should be taken for what they are: intentions expressed in an interview, not signed deals. Any wealth decision of this scale requires professional advice and should be checked with a specialist before moving figures like these.
