Margo Rey Net Worth $1 Million

What is Margo Rey’s net worth?

Margo Rey is a Mexican actress and singer-songwriter who has a net worth of $1 million. She describes her music as “organica,” an unorthodox hybrid of pop music that is rooted in Jazz with deep ethno-rhythmic grooves, textural guitars, keys, and lush vocals.

She was born on October 18, 1966, in Acapulco, Mexico. When she was two, the family moved to Fort Worth, Texas. Rey grew up alongside her four siblings.

As a teenager, Margo was the lead vocalist in Debutante, an all-female rock band from Arlington.

After gaining a large following through her association with Debutante, Margo went on to sing with many different bands, including Miss Margo & the Lost Souls.

In 1998, actor Edward James Olmos heard Margo sing and recommended her for a main role in the bound-for-Broadway musical Selena Forever.

In 2009, Rey released her album ”My Heart’s Desire.” The album featured many singles, including “Between Us,” “My Heart’s Desire,” “Couldn’t Be More Wrong,” and “You Belong to Me.”

The singer also appeared as a guest on the Dr. Phil show (an American tabloid talk show created by Oprah Winfrey and the host Phil McGraw), where she performed ”Between Us.”

”My Heart’s Desire” received the 2009 Muse’s Muse Award for Best Overall CD Project In Any Category.

In 2011, she released a Christmas EP, named ”This Holiday Night,” that appeared in the Top 20 of the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts.

At the end of 2011, Margo’s song “Let The Rain,” that she co-wrote with John Oates (an American R&B, rock, and soul singer, guitarist, record producer, and songwriter best known as half of the rock and soul duo, Hall & Oates), remained on the charts for 21 weeks, peaking at No. 17 on Billboard magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart.

In 2012, Margo accompanied Dave Koz (an American smooth jazz saxophonist) as a guest singer on his “Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour 2012” tour between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The single ”Tempted,” a cover of Squeeze’s 1980s track, charted at No. 28 on the National AC Airplay Chart on Billboard, the week of May 26, 2013.

Cancer

In August of 2009, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Rey stated:

“I had never been hospitalized, broken a bone or had a cavity. It was really quite shocking.”

She has had a double mastectomy. In addition to physically recovering from the surgery, individuals undergoing a double mastectomy will need to consider their emotional recovery in the months which follow the medical procedure.

Since then, Margo has been working to raise awareness about the disease and raise funds for cancer research.

In January 2013, cancer returned to her lymph nodes (important for the proper functioning of the immune system, acting as filters for cancer cells and foreign particles).

Husband

In 2013. Margo Rey married comedian Ron White. The couple exchanged vows in front of close friends and family, including John Oates, at the Fairmont Hotel.

She wore a strapless white gown, and instead of an intricate updo, Margo’s hair was cropped short – a side-effect of the radiation and chemotherapy (a type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs as part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen) she underwent as she battled cancer for the second time.

Divorce

In 2017, Margo Rey filed divorce docs in Los Angeles, saying they’d been separated for several months. They have no children.

Rey says she wants White to pay spousal support. It’s likely she raised the common law issue (once established, a common-law marriage has the same legal effect as a ceremonial marriage), so the marriage would pre-date 2013 by five years, hence, entitling her to more spousal support.

On August 6, 2019, a judge declared the couple was in a common-law marriage under Texas law.

In the late ’90s, actor Edward James Olmos recommended Margo for the role of Selena’s mother, Marcella, in the Broadway production of ”Selena Forever,” which was based on the life of the late Tejano pop star.
