El Gran Wyoming, a mainstay on Spanish TV, owns 19 properties in Madrid. He says he owes no one an explanation for putting his money into real estate, even after public backlash and a hefty tax fine.
When people ask José Miguel Monzón Navarro—better known as El Gran Wyoming—about his long list of properties, he doesn’t flinch. “I do what I want with my money,” he says. He brushes off the criticism with the same blunt style that made him famous on 'El Intermedio'.
Wyoming’s property holdings are no small matter. In 2014, he confirmed he owned 19 properties in the Community of Madrid. That includes 16 apartments, most under 80 square meters, packed into the city center. He also owns three bigger homes in places like Parque de Roma, Conde Orgaz, and Alpedrete. On top of that, he has two commercial spaces and a quarter share of a property in Alcalá de Henares, which he inherited from his parents.
According to The Objective, Wyoming's solid financial standing is attributed to more than four decades in show business and audiovisual production, which has enabled his significant investments in Madrid real estate.
He built this fortune over decades on TV and as an author. He’s published nine books. His bestseller 'No estamos locos' sold over 100,000 copies. But it’s his steady “brick” strategy—buying and holding property—that has kept his finances strong.
Wyoming doesn’t hide his approach, but that hasn’t stopped the criticism. “They treat me as if I were a public official,” he says, pushing back at those who question his choices. “I have worked for 30 years in television and earned a lot of money. Others spend it on boats or estates for raising bulls. I invest in what I want.”
His business record isn’t spotless. Just months before he confirmed his property count, Spanish tax authorities fined him €910,000 for irregularities in his filings. Wyoming says he did nothing wrong. “If that were true, I would be in jail. Tax crime starts above a certain amount. I have not committed it.”
In September 2026, El Gran Wyoming publicly reaffirmed his right to invest in real estate, stating in various Telegram and X posts that he has earned substantial sums and chooses to invest as he sees fit. This coincided with ongoing debates in Spain about large landlords and housing policy, as highlighted by Cadena SER and laSexta, where Wyoming also addressed the broader housing crisis and criticized government actions regarding evictions.
The fight over property in Spain isn’t new. High-profile cases, like the eviction of an elderly woman in Madrid, have set off public and political arguments, as reported earlier. Wyoming’s case is different. He isn’t a landlord evicting tenants or a politician accused of double standards. He’s a celebrity who openly defends his right to invest as he likes.
Wyoming doesn’t apologize for his financial choices. He talks about his wealth and investments in a way that’s rare in Spain, where property is a touchy subject. His direct, sometimes combative style marks a change in how Spanish celebrities talk about money and privilege. While many hide their fortunes, Wyoming’s openness—whether people like it or not—sets a new tone in the debate over wealth and personal freedom.
