In May 2020, Derulo departed from Warner Bros., citing “creative differences” after his 2019 “2Sides” EP was not well received. Was the thirty-year-old’s life over?

Derulo attempted TikTok during the pandemic. Thanks to Isabel Quinteros Annоus, the head of artist relations, and several humorous videos that were expertly produced, Derulo currently has 51.6 million followers and is the 14th most followed account on TikTok. Thanks to the app, his 2020 single “Sa.va.ge Love” also rose to the top of the charts in other countries. Derulo took the spotlight since his prior accomplishments were unknown to a new generation of youngsters. No usher.

Thanks to his breakthrough on TikTok, Derulо signed with Atlantic Records a year ago. Still, TikTok makes a reasonable amount of money. Theoretically, a big account like this one could make $75,000 every video from advertisements, but Derulo maintains he makes “far mourе” than that.

Regardless of your thoughts on Derulo’s weird videos—one requiring him to eat corn with a power drill, another requiring him to remove an eyebrow—the truth is that his bank account is most likely in better shape than it was.

The native Floridian has a $3 million home in far-off Tarzana, Los Angeles, but records indicate he paid $3.6 million for an almost brand-new Encino. A less-known bidder paid $3.3 million for the about 5,000 square foot modern farmhouse in December 2020.

The new owner immediately departed. It took Derulo eight more months to ultimately purchase the house once it was relisted six months later. Putting up pictures demonstrates how long ago someone went because the interiors are mostly empty and barely covered.
