The singer admitted that people often assume that she is because of her 1985 hit 'Material Girl'.
When asked if she was "materialistic" by the Daily Star, she said: "Everyone relates that title to me because of the song I did 300 years ago. It's a title I got stuck with.
"When I first did the song it was meant in an ironic way, as I don’t think of myself as a materialist person (sic). I hate that name but I do love clothes and fashion and I love beautiful things.
"As the years went by, strangers would see me in the street and would shout, 'Yo, it's the Material Girl' and I was like, 'Ahh, I'm not, I hate that name'. However, I realised I needed to get a sense of humour and embrace it."
It was recently reported that Madonna has been offered a $1bn Vegas residency.
