Lil Nas X is rich now. So what does he spend his money on?
Lil Nas X became a star overnight, thanks to his Old Town Road song. For a singer who came from a relatively modest background, this was an overwhelming success. It’s always interesting to see how a newborn star spends his first big fees and how he arranges his life now that he can go on a shopping spree daily.
Celebration with the dearest and nearest
The singer spent his first paycheck to entertain his big family at a bowling alley. Food, drinks, and the general atmosphere of fun and amusement — would you imagine a better choice to kick-start a mind-blowing artistic career?
Posh sports car
Lil Nas X bought a Maserati GranTurismo, which costs over $1K, not for himself, but for Billy Ray Cyrus. It was Billy who spurred the popularity of his friend by remixing one of his songs, so the young star expressed his gratitude in a truly generous way.
Sneakers
Today it’s common for celebrities to spend a lot on shoes. Limited edition and collaborations between sports brand and showbiz stars might cost a few thousand dollars per pair. However, Lil Nas X is quite modest and prefers black Air Jordans that cost around $250.
Stage outfits
Lil Nas X looks stunning on stage thanks to Jerry Lee Atwood. This designer will hardly work with stingy clients — but for those who pay fair, he’ll create jaw-dropping outfits.
Bling
Gold watches, chains, pendants — the price for one accessory might be up to $500. These shiny details are indispensable for a true star.
Flamboyant suits
The singer likes eye-catching pastel and neon colors. He entrusted the tailoring of his suits to Christopher John Waters who is responsible for the unique cuts and patterns.
Casual clothes
Lil Nas X was spotted walking casually in Marni, Gucci and Michael Kors trousers, which cost up to $1K, as well as Missoni and Fear of God jackets, which cost around $2K. It seems reasonable, because paparazzi might chase him anywhere!
Sunglasses
It might be too early to call Lil Nas X a true shades fetishist, but there are a few impressive items in his collection. King Ice ($100) are good for chill days, Kuboraum ($350) are for going out, and Jacques Marie Mage ($800) are for special occasions.
Charity
In March, Lil Nas X encouraged his fans to stay at home. To those who didn’t have money to order food delivery, the singer sent cash through money apps. Also, he donated $13K to help a 15-year-old boy get treatment for Lyme disease.
