Singer, Composer, and Real Estate Magnate
Miami Connection
Julio Iglesias symbolizes luxury and global influence in South Florida, owning multiple mansions in Indian Creek—a guarded island enclave also home to figures like Ivanka Trump—since purchasing his first properties in 1978, elevating the area's prestige as a billionaire haven. His long-term residency has drawn international attention to Miami's real estate market, using local services for family, medical care, and shopping while fostering cultural ties through performances and family events like his son Julio Iglesias Jr.'s Miami Beach concerts.
About
Born in Madrid in 1943, Julio Iglesias rose from a law student and soccer player to international superstar after a car accident shifted his path to music, signing a multimillion-dollar CBS deal in 1978 upon moving to Miami. He established his official U.S. residence in Indian Creek, Miami Beach, building an empire of music hits in Spanish, English, French, and more, earning Guinness recognition as the best-selling Hispanic artist. His career highlights include over 300 million albums sold, making him the top Latin artist ever. Deeply connected to Miami since the late 1970s, he owns iconic properties there amid his global residences. Now in his 80s, he divides time between Miami, Punta Cana, and Spain with wife Miranda Rijnsburger and family, occasionally performing while managing his portfolio.
