Ever since Bruno Mars first rose to fame, he has been one of the most obviously talented performers in the music industry. Seemingly born with the Midas touch, it often feels like everything Mars touches turns to gold. After all, Mars has been part of one hit song after another including "Uptown Funk", "Just The Way You Are", "Locked Out of Heaven", "Grenade", and "Nothin' On You".
On top of all the hit songs that Bruno Mars has released, he has found a lot of other ways to make money. For example, Mars had an extremely lucrative Las Vegas residency that lasted from 2016 until 2020. As a result of Mars' various revenue streams, he has managed to accumulate a $175 million fortune according to celebritynetworth.com. Once you learn how wealthy Bruno Mars is, it begs an obvious question, how does he spend his cash?
In terms of Bruno Mars' homes, he once bought a four-bedroom 4,124-square-foot home $3.1 million property in Honolulu. Later, Mars sold that home and then he upgraded to a 9,000-square-foot home in the same Los Angeles neighborhood where George Clooney owns a home. Said to have cost Mars $6.5 million, his Los Angeles home boasts an entire wing for his sibling's kids. On top of that, Mars' home also features a 12 car garage, a wine cellar, and bar, a sauna, a steam room, and an infinity pool.
While most people may consider a 12 car garage to be wildly excessive, it definitely comes in handy for Bruno Mars. After all, he has a car collection that has been estimated to be worth at least $1.8 million. As a part of that collection, Mars is said to own a Rolls-Royce that cost $289,000, a $72,000 Cadillac STS, and a $54,000 Cadillac Allante among others. Even though some celebrities have spent more money on their car collections, Mars' vehicles are simply amazing.
In an ideal world, every famous musician who routinely performed with the same people for many years would have a great relationship with their peers. Sadly, there are many examples of music stars who didn't have strong bonds with the people they surrounded themselves with. For example, it has been well documented that Nicole Scherzinger and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls have had their problems. On the other hand, Bruno Mars clearly gets along very well with his band.
When Bruno Mars released the music video for his hit tune "The Lazy Song" in 2011, he was surrounded by a group of guys sporting monkey masks in the clip. Even though that music video is so memorable, Mars and his backup band have changed up their style a great deal since 2011. For example, Mars and the band he tours with have been known to show up at some events in extremely stylish designer suits.
Fortunately for the guys in Bruno Mars' band, it seems likely that they aren't expected to foot the bill for the stuff they wear when appearing in public with the singer. After all, in 2018 Mars revealed that he got seven Audemars Piguet Extra-Thin "Jumbo" Royal Oaks watches for his band on Instagram. Amazingly enough, each of those watches would have cost Mars roughly $55,400.
Growing up I developed a true love for movies and wrestling. I feel that way because I feel a great story has the power to place a filter over the lens that people see the world through. I also discovered comics in my early teens and have become a pop culture junkie. I love to write about my passions and am incredibly happy to be able to have people read it.

Is James Fauntleroy working with Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's supergroup Silk Sonic?
Baz James Fauntleroy is known for writing catchy pop and R&B hits for Rihanna , Justin Timberlake , and more -- including the Grammy-winning hit single " That's What I Like " from Bruno Mars .
The prolific singer/songwriter tells ABC Audio he's been talking with Bruno about new music that could likely be for the debut album of Bruno and Anderson .Paak 's R&B supergroup, Silk Sonic.
"I can't give away too much of the Bruno stuff because it's an ancient ghetto's secret. It's been passed down. I will say I've been around," says Fauntleroy. "I was out there in the beginning. The pandemic kept me on lockdown...not really doing much for the last year, but we've definitely been talking. And I'm definitely just really super excited about the project."
Fauntleroy described Bruno and Anderson as two "blazing examples of artistry" and timeless music. According to a 2018 Twitter photo , Fauntleroy was previously spotted recording vocals in the studio with two other blazing artists, rapper Big Sean and singer/songwriter John Mayer.
"The Big Sean and John Mayer session was so fun and I have no idea when we're going to hear those songs," says Fauntleroy. "I haven't heard them since that night. So when I hear them, I'll let you guys know what's going on because I'm on the hunt as well."
Bruno Mars has hot, new collab | Philstar.com
The incredibly talented Bruno Mars can always be counted on to perk things up with his feel-good sound. Remember how he did it with Uptown Funk and Versace on the Floor? Well, he has done it again. At a time of massive fear and uncertainty, he came out with a new single that dispels all the gloom even if only for a while.
The tune is titled Leave the Door Open and it is funky, sexy and lots of sparkling fun. With his honeyed vocals, he sings about how he is waiting and hoping for his lover to show up. He is thinking of cuddling and kissing and has even put rose petals in the bathtub. He is unsure though. Still, he is optimistic she will come and that is why he leaves the door open.
It has been quite some time since we have had anything new from the multi-Grammy winning and I am always proud to say, part-Pinoy Mr. Mars. If I remember right the last solo song that he released was Chunky and that was about four years ago. His last solo album was the Album of the Year winner 24K Magic and that was released in 2016. News we get about him always mentions that he is working on a new album but that solo effort is still waiting to happen.
Nobody is complaining about those though. Each one of them turned out great. Wake Up in the Sky with Gucci Mane and Kodak Black, Finesse and Please Me with Cardi B and the most recent, Blow with Ed Sheeran and Chris Stapleton for Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaboration Project album two years ago. And now we have another one in Leave the Door Open.
It turns out that Mars has formed a group, hence this collab. No, he still has his band, the Hooligans. This new one is called Silk Sonic and it is with the also Grammy-winning Brandon Paak Anderson, professionally known as Anderson .Paak. Leave the Door Open is the first single off the debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic which they are planning to release soon.
Though best-known for his rap tunes, Paak is also great with R&B. Like Mars, he is a singer, songwriter and plays several instruments. He won Grammys for Best Rap Performance with Bubblin’, Best R&B Album with Ventura and Best R&B Performance for Come Home featuring Andre 3000. By the way, .Paak is part-Korean so we have two Asians collaborating on this brilliant track.
This is carried over into the music video — the ‘70s touches — which is co-directed by Mars with Florent Dechard. It is simply shot with the band Silk Sonic in performance, .Paak on the drums and Mars singing and playing keyboards with some girls dancing. What is so infectious about it is that they seem to be having so much fun. These guys so love what they do and we love them for that.
Lots of fun spiced with soul is what we are sure to get when Mars and .Paak release more of their songs in the An Evening with Silk Sonic album. Here is hoping they will do that soon.

What's With All the '70s Cosplay in Music These Days? - InsideHook
Her recent music video for single “The Melting of the Sun” features some trippy ’70s-style animation that’s instantly recognizable to anyone who’s ever seen the opening sequence from Grease or an episode of School House Rock . And her SNL performances featured all the costumes and tropes you might expect from someone looking to emulate the era: a Candy Darling-inspired blonde haircut, bell-bottoms, big lapels, a trio of backup singers performing synchronized choreography, a jacket with the word “Daddy” embroidered on the back in a retro font.
We’re due, for one. Fashion and pop culture are cyclical, and if you stick to the rough “every 20 years” theory that explains why ’70s-inspired stuff like flared jeans and Dazed and Confused were big in the ’90s, it makes sense that the retro aesthetic that was embraced in the late ’90s and early ’00s is on pace to come back around now.
"I think every year there's at least one moment of nostalgia. We went through a phase in which everything was '90s, when Bruno and Cardi B did the 'Finesse (Remix)' together," singer-songwriter Tayla Parx recently said when asked about Silk Sonic on the Switched On Pop podcast . "Well, right now, we're kind of in the loop of the late '70s, early '80s."
But ’70s revivalism isn’t unique to 2021. Greta Van Fleet, whose new album The Battle at Garden’s Gate is out next week, have had to deal with plenty of criticism throughout their young career over the fact that they’re essentially aping ’70s icons Led Zeppelin. (Note: naming your album The Battle at Garden’s Gate is not the best way to convince detractors that you’re not ripping off Led Zeppelin.) In his 2018 review of their album Anthem of the Peaceful Army (which he generously gave a 1.6), Pitchfork’s Jeremy D. Larson wrote , “They are a new kind of vampiric band who's there to catch the runoff of original classic rock using streaming services' data-driven business model. Greta Van Fleet exist to be swallowed into the algorithm's churn and rack up plays, of which they already have hundreds of millions. They make music that sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin and demand very little other than forgetting how good Led Zeppelin often were.”
But where is the line? When does an influence become a costume? Why are St. Vincent and Silk Sonic just doing cool homages to bygone eras while Greta Van Fleet are (rightly) dismissed as derivative?
The key difference is that St. Vincent, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak all started as something else. (Mars wears his throwback influences on his sleeve more than the others, but when it comes down to it, he’s still ultimately a contemporary pop artist.) They’ve got the ’70s looks and sounds down pat, but it’s done with the understanding that this is just a phase, that they’re in on the joke, championing the decade’s kitsch with a wink, and they’ll be on to the next thing on the next album cycle.
The implication there is that this vibe is being cultivated specifically for this record. Greta Van Fleet, on the other hand, came out of the gate as a Led Zeppelin sound-alike, dressed the part, and haven’t really deviated from that formula since. It’s a fine line, but a clear one: pretending it’s 1973 is cool, but only if you’ve got your own thing going on and are doing it semi-ironically. Musicians are, of course, constantly going to draw inspiration from one another, and at this point, there’s nothing new under the sun; we can’t really fault someone for having a little fun with their influences. So dig those platform shoes out of the back of your closet, keep your eyes peeled for that Silk Sonic full-length, and get ready for the Summer of ’70s.

At First, Bruno Mars Had Trouble Getting His Foot In The Door - Hollywood Outbreak
Kim Jae Hwan gushes about his love for Bruno Mars + the concerns that raced through his head in
Solo artist Kim Jae Hwan appeared as a guest on the April 9 broadcast of ' Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook ', in light of his comeback with his 3rd mini album ' Change '!
On this day, Kim Jae Hwan delivered a stellar performance of his 3rd mini album title track " I Wouldn't Find You ", as well as a cover of Bruno Mars , Anderson .Paak , and Silk Sonic 's " Leave The Door Open "!
After his stages, Kim Jae Hwan sat down with MC Yoo Hee Yeol for an interview, where he got to share his shocked reaction after hearing "Leave The Door Open" for the first time ever. The singer recalled, "When I first heard this song, I was completely, completely shocked." MC Yoo Hee Yeol also agreed, "I thought I was gonna faint after listening to that song."
Kim Jae Hwan continued, "It wasn't just me, and it wasn't just the public either. I'm sure that everyone who heard this song the first time, whether an ordinary person or someone in the music industry, they all fell down after hearing it. So after I heard the song the first time, I thought that I needed to cover it, no matter what. And I am the biggest fan of Bruno Mars. He is my role model. Whenever I'm in front of a camera, I send him a video message. I always say, 'Hyung, let's have coffee some time.'"
How did Kim Jae Hwan feel about covering such a difficult, rigorous song? He honestly told Yoo Hee Yeol, "I just felt this a minute ago, while I was singing on stage. While singing the first verse, I was like, 'This... is so hard'. Even while I was singing, in my head I was like, 'Should I just give up on the ad-lib parts later? Maybe in the second verse, when it's Bruno Mars's part, I should lower the key?'"
However, MC Yoo Hee Yeol assured Kim Jae Hwan that he did an excellent job of the Bruno Mars cover, and that the clip will probably become legendary. Check out Kim Jae Hwan's "Leave The Door Open" cover for yourself, above!
i really really love this song. and jaehwan did great! I never actually expected a kpop singer to cover this song
3 with UCSD ties, including Pulitzer winner Anthony Davis, to be inducted into Academy of Arts
Davis is among 29 new members and four honorary members who will be inducted, including photographer and multimedia artist Lorna Simpson, who earned her master of fine arts degree from UCSD in 1985, and UCSD professor emeritus Faith Ringgold, a painter, writer and performance artist who taught at the La Jolla campus from 1987 to 2002.
"It's a great honor," Davis said. "Post-COVID, we will meet every year to help distribute awards that the academy gives to composers, so I'm looking forward to participating."
Anthony Davis was awarded the 2020 Pulitzer for music for "The Central Park Five," which debuted in June at Long Beach Opera. It was inspired by the racially and politically charged New York trial and conviction of a Latino teenager and four Black teens in the 1989 rape of a young White female investment banker in Central Park. All five were later exonerated and freed. They incurred the wrath of then-New York real estate developer Donald Trump, who is one of the characters in "The Central Park Five."
The subjects of Davis' other operas have included the kidnapping and radicalization of heiress Patty Hearst (1992's "Tania"), a pivotal slave rebellion (1997's "Amistad") and social injustices against Native Americans (2007's "Wakonda's Dream").
Noted composer Anthony Davis blurs the lines between jazz, opera, world music, the avant-garde and other styles with unique skill and daring.
"I've known Anthony since 1975, and it's just been amazing to watch his trajectory as a major composer," Dresser said. "It's great that all these major awards are being given to him. But he's been doing consistently groundbreaking work throughout his career and should have been honored sooner." ◆
