Madonna‘s net worth is estimated to be around $850 million. She can afford to buy almost anything she wants, and money is definitely no concern for her. But for her son, David Banda, it is because he is choosing to make it on his own after moving out of his mamaโs house.
Banda is 18 and lives in New York Cityโs Bronx suburb (while his mother has an apartment on the Upper East Side), and according to a recent Instagram Live (via Page Six), he doesnโt have enough cash for food.
Madonna’s Son Opens Up About The Realities Of Living Alone

โItโs lovely to experience it being nine oโclock at night, me being hungry and realizing that I donโt have enough money to get food and scavenging,โ he said. โItโs fun to be young.โ The fact that he is not relying on his momโs cash will likely earn him the respect of many fans because he is trying to make it on his own. Banda reportedly gives guitar lessons to supplement his income.
โI love it. Iโm not on my own, Iโve got my girlfriend,โ he said, adding, โBut I love it.โ The teen is likely enjoying the peace and quiet as he has grown up in a full household. Madonna has six children. From oldest to youngest are Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, and the twins Stella and Estere. This is a big family but also a loving one, and Bandaโs Instagram pictures give a glimpse into his home life.
In a picture (his first on the platform) with a few of his siblings and his popstar mother, he captioned the post with a simple message: โLove the fam,โ followed by a red heart emoji. Fans are also incredibly supportive of their family, and the comments on the post have been incredibly positive. Reactions include โBeautiful family,โ โWhat a beautiful family!โ and โKing.โ
Letโs hope that things get a little easier for David Banda as he figures out how to live on his own.
