Armando Pérez or Pitbull is a songwriter and a singer from the US. In later years, he has also worked as a record producer. Pitbull’s estimated net worth currently stands at an impressive $45 million in 2015.

Born in Miami, Florida, it all blew up for Pitbull in 2012. His first album was titled M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is A Major Issue) – it was released in 2004. It has been quite a ride for him since then. He has released three more albums as El Mariel (2006), The Boatlift (2007), and Planet Pit (2011). His single “Krazy” reached #30 on the Hot 100 and #11 on the Hot Rap Tracks charts. “I Know You Want Me” was #2 on the Hot 100 charts. It also ruled the charts in several other countries such as Italy, Netherlands, Canada, and reached the #1 position in France. With this, Pitbull’s popularity went way beyond the US. Some other singles too, such as “Hotel Room Service”, “I Know You Want Me”, and “Give Me Everything” also hit the charts.

Pitbull then went on to bring out his own label by signing a contract with Polo Grounds Music. It was brought out through Sony Music. Armando has also hosted his own program on television. This Spanish language program is titled La Esquina.

Pérez endorses products too – this allows him to add to his wealth. He, with Trey Songz, Rihanna and Drake endorses Kodak brands. He has a contract for the promotion of the soft drink company Dr. Pepper.
