- Death The tragic life of Pau Donés: the suicide of his mother, dyslexic and with no luck in love
- Redes.Dani Rovira, Alejandro Sanz, Antonio Orozco ... the famous say goodbye to Pau Donés
The song already says it: "When a friend leaves, something dies in the soul ..." and so it happened on Tuesday, June 9 with the death of Pau Donés, vocalist of Jarabe de Palo, at the age of 53. A colon cancer detected in 2015 was to blame. Alejandro Sanz, Jorge Drexler, Hombres G, Gabriel Rufián, Laura Pausini, Pablo Alborán or Santiago Segura are some of the celebrities who had affectionate words of farewell on social networks.
While your family and friends get used to the idea, you have to continue living the present with strength, as Pau used to say. And as life goes on, the singer's legacy is immense. And not only artistically speaking. When in 1996 he released his first album, La Flaca, he sold just over two million copies ; His second album, Depende (1998), also sold another couple of million and the song Agua has had more than 135 million views on YouTube to date .
Although the benefits from royalties are no longer what they were, Pau Donés has earned and will continue to distribute millionaire dividends through the General Society of Authors (SGAE) since he was the author of those successes, in addition to those of Humo or Bonito . If we consider that La Flaca wrote it in ten minutes, as he himself confessed, and it was the great song of 1996 , do the math.
Already in 2000 he invested a large part of his profits in a huge property in Betlan (Lleida) , a few kilometers from Baqueira Beret, which he reformed to his liking. Twenty years later it is on sale for 2.3 million euros. The plot is 6,000 square meters and the constructed area of several buildings is 912 square meters (the main house is 341 meters, seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a large dining room, the kitchen ... and the gym, sauna and study recording have another 256 meters, there is a guest residence of 229 square meters etc).
Possibly, he wanted to sell it to put the money from the sale in a current account in the name of his daughter Sara, who, as he had previously confessed, would like to study Medicine at some good university. During her recent stay in California to get away from all the musical noise, the young woman expressed her interest in staying there. But they had to return due to the severity of their father's illness.
His latest album, Swallows or Spits , which will go on sale physically on June 29, has already accumulated 772,000 listens on Spotify since May 26 and the single That you give me has been seen on YouTube in a whopping 11 days 3.1 million times. Figures that, obviously, after the artist's death will increase considerably.
Pau always knew what to do with the money. Like a good Catalan, he used to say that he liked to know what each peseta or euro he spent on and, above all, how much he earned . Studying economics at the University of Barcelona helped him invest his fortune appropriately .
Pau also owned another stone house in the small town of Montanuy (Huesca), where his father currently lives and where he composed the themes Owner of My Silence and The Dark Side . And another property in Bagergue , one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, located at the highest point of the Valle de Arán, where he died. The artist liked the environment so much that he did not hesitate to invest in natural areas.

Obviously, as a good worker and Catalan, he was also farsighted. For this reason, in 2008 he founded his own record company, Tronco Records SL (Independent Republic of Jarabe de Palo) intended for sound recording and music publishing activities and, later, expanded to the sale and / or lease of real estate. According to the latest accounts deposited in the registry in 2017, the sales volume was 2.5 million euros. This company concentrates all the dividends from the SGAE to which must be added the royalties , which are expected to be billionaires after the premature death of Donés. Your teenage daughter will undoubtedly be the main beneficiary.
Likewise, since 2011 he is the joint administrator with a share capital of 525,141 euros of the company Casa Alena Bichos y Verduras SL with the social objective of marketing, construction, promotion, exploitation and administration of real estate, which in 2017 had a volume of sales of 500,000 euros. In addition, it owned a motorcycle collection and a pension fund.
