Enrique Iglesias Complains About Cheapskate Dad
Globe magazine quotes Enrique Iglesias talking about his bitter relationship with his famous father Julio. Enrique says he’s only spoken to his father twice in the past seven years, and complained his dad, who is worth $500 million, was a cheapskate with him. “In Spain, if you have the Iglesias name, they put you down as a spoiled rich kid. But my father has never given me a penny,” Iglesias complained. “I went to a rich kids’ school in Miami. The others drove Mercedes or Porches. I had a crummy car.” And when Enrique went to Los Angeles to kick off his singing career, he revealed, “I didn’t have any money. I had to stay with a friend.”
