The Spanish model has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Velencoso Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Tossa de Mar Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondervelencoso - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Andrés) and a fashion line called “Andrés Velencoso Seduction”.
