Aventura is a former bachata music group with a net worth of $4 million. Aventura earned their net worth as a musical group from the Bronx, New York, formed in 1994 by Anthony Santos, Henry Santos, Lenny Santos and Max Santos. Three of the members are Bronx natives and the other was born in the Dominican Republic.
The members of Aventura were self-taught and determined to succeed, and the group broke through in 1999. They were both professional musicians looking to break bachata music from its traditional foundations and blend it with more modern pop sounds like hip-hop and R&B. In 2011, Aventura became the second musical performer to sell out at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Bachata music originates from the Dominican Republic, and the songs are often romantic and include stories of heartbreak and sadness. Aventura has been active in the music industry since 1994 and has recorded albums with the popular labels Sony BMG and Premium Latin Music. 2009 was a big year for Aventura, who won the “Favorite Latin Music Artist” award at the American Music Awards and received a special invitation from the White House to play for US President Barack Obama. Anthony Santos, also known as Romeo, is the lead singer and composer of Aventura, a Bronx, New York native who began his love of music at age 12 by performing in church choirs. He was born to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father. It’s worth noting that Romeo’s sweet, soulful voice is a big part of the band’s success. Lenny Santos is a guitarist and music producer/arranger for Aventura; he fell in love with music at the age of 15. Max “Mikey” Agende Santos, the band’s bass player, started playing at the age of 12 when he borrowed a bass at school. The band’s singer and songwriter, Henry Santos Jeter, was born in the Dominican Republic and was a die-hard music fanatic as a young man who moved to New York with his family at the age of 14.
