Inside Olivia Rodrigo’s $62m wealth, property moves

Olivia Rodrigo is one of the most successful and lucrative singers in the world with an estimated net worth of around $45 million (AUD $65 million), but she has been somewhat frugal when it comes to her spending — particularly as far as real estate is concerned.

Amid reports of her fellow chart-toppers splashing their cash on luxury homes, including Sabrina Carpenter, who recently snapped up a $10 million (AUD $14 million) New York City apartment, Rodrigo has been much more low-key about her housing.

Having released “Driver’s License” when she was still living with her parents, the singer got her first taste of adult life soon after, when she relocated to her own apartment in Los Angeles at the age of 18.

Rodrigo wrote the hit song while she was still a teenager at her childhood home in Temecula, CA — however, it took off after she began teasing the melody on her social media accounts, where followers turned it into a viral hit, seemingly overnight.

She later joked that the relocation to an apartment was more of a “soft move out,” confessing to GQ in 2021 that her parents regularly stayed with her at the property, explaining: “I got my first big girl apartment a month or two ago … But my parents come and stay with me all the time and I’d go stay with them all the time, so I don’t know if I’m technically living alone, but I say I am.”

Rodrigo also shared a glimpse inside the space during an interview with SiriusXM that same year, when she opened up about how she was adding her own personal touches to the property.

Among her favourite pieces in the unit was a painting that was gifted to her by the head of Interscope Records in celebration of her album release.

While she seemed to have been relishing in having her own space, solo living didn’t last long for the songstress, who told late night host James Corden the following year that her best friend had moved in with her.

Rodrigo took her next — very grown up — step onto the property ladder in July 2023, when she revealed to Vogue that she had purchased her first home in New York City, an apartment in the popular Greenwich Village neighbourhood.

At the time, she joked to the outlet that she was about to embark on her own “’Sex and the City’ fantasy.” However, that dream scenario hit more than a few snags, with the singer later admitting to Rolling Stone that she “may or may not have gotten bedbugs,” while confessing that she wasn’t fully enjoying being by herself.

“Living alone is very frightening,” she shared. “I always get scared someone’s going to come in and murder me, or a ghost is going to come and haunt me.”

Despite buying a property in the Big Apple, Rodrigo was still spending ample time in Los Angeles, where she rented a home in Pasadena — a stunning midcentury modern abode that became the backdrop for her appearance in Vogue’s “73 Questions” series on YouTube.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling, which was originally built in 1963, was last on the market for $8,500-a-month (AUD $12,000) before Rodrigo leased it — and then set about turning it into her own dream abode.

In her Vogue interview, she proudly showed off her favourite parts of the 2,200-square-foot property, including the floor-to-ceiling windows, a bright music room, and a chef’s kitchen with a chic fireplace.

She also told the outlet that one of her favourite parts about being on tour was getting the chance to find unique items that she could fill her home with, noting that her dream was for her “house to just be like a museum of every place that I’ve ever been, like, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s from this country and that’s from that city.’”

In another nod to her close bond with her parents, the property was located under two hours’ drive away from her childhood home, which records show is still registered under her mother and father’s names.

The three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom dwelling was purchased by Rodrigo’s parents for just $174,500 (AUD $242,000) in 2000, according to records, although Realtor.com® estimates that it is currently worth around $660,000 (AUD $916,000).

Interestingly, Rodrigo is not thought to currently own any property — having revealed in a since-deleted June 2025 Instagram post that she was bidding farewell to her New York home for good, a moment that she marked by sharing a series of selfies that she had snapped in the corridor of her building.

Reports began to surface online at the end of 2025 that the singer had purchased a property in Studio City, CA; however, this speculation has never been verified.

Rodrigo has previously expressed a desire to snap up her own dwelling in the Los Feliz neighbourhood — but with a new tour to prepare for, it’s unclear whether she will also have time to house hunt.

Rodrigo announced she will embark on an international 65-show tour in 2027 in honour of her most-recently released studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.”

The 23-year-old shared the news about her upcoming Unraveled Tour on her Instagram, where she revealed she will kick off the performances in Connecticut before continuing across the U.S., then onto Europe and the U.K.

“I am so so excited to announce The Unraveled Tour!!! I am counting down the days till I get to sing all of the songs from ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love’ with u guys!!!” Rodrigo wrote, while sharing an image of all the dates she currently has planned.
