Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom, the dynamic duo known as Gente de Zona, recently disclosed the staggering amounts they've spent on single accessories during a snippet of their interview on the Hottest podcast, which quickly went viral on Instagram.
This discussion is a segment of a full interview they gave to the ac2alitypodcast. The episode, titled "GENTE DE ZONA: Cuba, Dancing, and the Truth Behind Patria y Vida," was released last Wednesday, running for 52 minutes and is accessible on Spotify.
Extravagant Spending Habits
In the clip, the host inquires about the most they've spent on clothing, shoes, or watches. Without hesitation, Alexander Delgado admitted, "I've spent a lot, maybe 100,000, yes, around that," referring to a watch.
Randy Malcom also confessed to having spent heavily on watches, though he clarified that he no longer wears them frequently: "I've spent a lot on watches, but now I don't wear them much because I always end up breaking them."
Instead, Randy revealed his true accessory indulgence: "But sunglasses, I can tell you, I've spent a fortune on those."
Fashion and Glamour
The image of luxury and glamour is not new for Gente de Zona. The duo has graced significant international red carpets with stunning looks, as seen at the Lo Nuestro Awards in 2025, where their outfits drew considerable attention.
This connection to fashion extends to their personal lives. Randy’s partner, Annaby Pozo, launched her clothing brand Be Zazzy in December 2018, available online in the United States, while Alexander’s partner, Mily Alemán, has her own swimwear line called Salty Tans.
