Affluent Hispanic

Entertainment and Brands

2014

U.S. Hispanic consumers continue to grow in numbers and flex

their spending power. This growth is having repercussions across

all levels of the socio-economic spectrum. Affluent Hispanics,

those earning $100K+ per year, are an interesting group in

particular because while they currently represent approximately

12.2% of Hispanic earners they punch above their weight as

compared to non-Hispanic affluents when it comes to contributing

to overall spending.

To better understand these differences we conducted a nationwide

survey to look at key Affluent Hispanic interests and spending

patterns.
