Some related numbers are not net worth. Telecinco says some outlets reported a profit above 500,000 euros from the 2024 La Velada del Año, and notes that these figures are not confirmed. It also says KOI billed more than 8 million euros in its first year, which is company revenue and not Ibai’s personal wealth. In the same 2023 video Ibai said he spent about 4 million euros on his new home near Barcelona, including renovations, and that he still had a mortgage.
