Argentine pop singer Tini Stoessel has requested a formal financial audit to investigate her father Alejandro Stoessel's management of her career earnings, following reports that she was unable to pay for a designer item in Europe.
The audit, initiated approximately three months ago according to reports in the Argentine newspaper La Capital, focuses on the assets, revenue streams, and business contracts generated over Stoessel's 15-year career, which local media estimate at $70 million.
The scrutiny over the singer's finances intensified during a recent trip to Europe when Stoessel attempted to purchase a handbag valued at 2,500 euros at an exclusive boutique. Her credit card was declined for insufficient available funds, prompting her to contact her banking institution.
Upon contacting the bank, Stoessel discovered that her spending limit was capped at approximately $5,000. Journalist Pepe Ochoa, cited across Argentine media outlets, reported that Stoessel relies on cards issued by Argentine banks, where international transactions under specific account structures require authorization from the primary account holder.
Audit findings and family strain
Results from the financial review were unfavorable for the artist, revealing that she lacked full control over several assets and revenues produced through her work. Reports from Argentine show business broadcasts indicate that the findings have caused a significant strain and personal rift between Stoessel and her father, though neither party has issued a public statement.
Stoessel discovered that the legal and financial setup established around her career granted her only partial control over her accumulated wealth. Alejandro Stoessel had directly overseen his daughter's professional development and financial administration for years as she built her career through international tours, sold-out stadium shows, and hit music releases such as Miénteme.
Tini Stoessel, born Martina Stoessel in Buenos Aires, is one of Latin America's prominent pop artists, having launched her career as a child star before expanding into a global touring act. Her father, Alejandro Stoessel, is a veteran Argentine television director and producer who managed her business operations from the beginning of her professional career.
Role of Rodrigo De Paul and prenuptial considerations
The financial inquiry also involved Stoessel's partner, professional footballer Rodrigo De Paul. Journalist Luis Ventura stated that De Paul supported the singer's decision to investigate her wealth after asking about her true financial standing, noting that Stoessel discovered she was listed as the owner of a large enterprise without having actual control over it.
Media reports in Argentina indicate that the review gained further urgency as Stoessel and De Paul advance plans for their upcoming wedding. Understanding the exact scope of their respective assets has become a priority as the couple evaluates potential prenuptial property agreements prior to marriage.
De Paul is an Argentine international midfielder who plays for Spanish club Atletico Madrid and won the FIFA World Cup with Argentina in 2022. To date, Stoessel, her father, and De Paul have not publicly commented on the reports, and no official documents detailing the audit or financial holdings have been released.
