Dua Lipa is one of the hottest stars of the moment. Her unique look and sound have managed to skyrocket her to the top of the charts over the past several years, and her fanbase is one of the most active in the industry.

She has worked in many different capacities over the years, as a model as well as a hostess, but finally achieved fame in 2017 with the release of her incredibly popular single “New Rules.”

While Dua Lipa has not always followed the mold of what a typical pop star does, she has more than proven that she has the chops to stay at the top of the music industry.

Dua Lipa was born in London, England, in 1995. Her parents were originally from Kosovo but moved three years prior to their daughter’s birth. Her father is a well-known singer while her mother worked in the tourism industry.

Young Lipa was surrounded by music from an early age, being exposed to her father’s work as well as inheriting a natural skill at harmonizing.

When she was a teenager, Lipa began singing cover songs by popular artists such as Nelly Furtado. With the dream of becoming a singer in her mind, Lipa decided to become a model in order to break into the industry and to begin to earn some recognition.

Over the next several years, Lipa modeled for companies such as ASOS and supplemented her income by working as a hostess in a restaurant. Lipa signed with Warner Music Group in 2015 and released her debut single in August of that year.

Her songs “Be The One” and Hotter than Hell” became smash hits all across Europe and the United Kingdom, and in 2017, Lipa achieved success in America as well, when her song “New Rules” hit the charts. 

Since “New Rules,” Lipa hasn’t slowed down and her fame has only continued to increase. She has worked with superstar artists such as Mark Ronson, Diplo, and Andrea Bocelli, and has even partnered with beauty brands such as Yves Saint Laurent.

What’s next for Dua Lipa?

In addition to her red-hot musical career, Dua Lipa’s personal life has been heating up as well. In June 2019, Lipa was linked to Anwar Hadid, the model brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid.

In the months since, the two have been spotted going on numerous low-key dates as well as showing up to glamorous red-carpet events together. She has even gotten close to his family and has attended several family events with Hadid. 

Lipa’s highly anticipated second studio album was recently announced, with a release date of sometime in 2020. Lipa’s legions of fans are eager to see what the singer has concocted, as it’s lead single, “Don’t Start Now” (which was released in November 2019) has already gotten a great reception from both critics and fans. 

What is Dua Lipa’s net worth?

Dua Lipa has likely only begun to explore the potential of her worldwide fame and there’s no doubt that she has a long and successful career ahead of her.

The pop star already has an impressive net worth, with some sources reporting it as around $3 million and others stating that it is close to $6 million. Regardless of the exact figure, it is a fabulous fortune for someone in their early twenties.

It is clear that as her star continues to rise, her net worth will only continue to increase.
