‘It’s a Very Unsexy Business’: How Singer Jason Derulo’s Net Worth Skyrocketed with Business Valued at $2 Billion

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Jason Derulo may have achieved music success, but the singer is looking for a different business avenue to become a billionaire.

Derulo, who is set to become a coach on “The Voice Australia,” is hoping to become a billionaire through his business ventures, including his successful car-washing services.

Derulo is best known for his international pop star status, but he is always looking for the next chapter in his life, which could include a car washing empire he compares to streaming services like Spotify and Netflix.

Working the Car Wash

According to Derulo, he’s invested in a company that is revolutionary.

“It’s called Rocket CarWash, and Rocket Carwashes is basically changing the way that people get their cars washed. So it’s an amazing facility, you know? You go in, and you pay a membership, and you can get your car washed at any time,” Derulo told Forbes. Derulo has not revealed how much he’s invested into the company.

He added that its not the usual celeb business venture.

“It is a very unsexy business, but it is a monster. It is like the Spotify model and how Spotify changed the music industry. It is Netflix and how Netflix changed the film industry…If I can get my car washed at anytime for a very low low price, I mean, it beats any other car wash out there, especially it being better than the other ones as well,” he points out, noting it’s a business worth $2 billion.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
