The start of 2019 had its fair share of drama when American rapper, singer and songwriter Lil Uzi Vert announced that he was quitting music altogether. Speculations and inside sources claim that it was a misunderstanding with his record label. Nevertheless, the reasons behind his outbursts have long been resolved, and we can expect a new album soon. That said, let’s look at the rapper Lil Uzi Vert overall net worth.
To start, you’ve probably heard of the song Bad and Boujee by Migos featuring Lil Uzi that dominated the Billboard Top 100 in 2016. That was only a year after the rapper made relevant contributions into the genre with his mixtape, Luv Is Rage.
However, before that, he struggled under the name Vert and later changed it to Lil Uzi from his fast rapping style. The government, nonetheless, recognizes the artist through his real name; Symere Woods. His talents caught the eye of DJ Drama who got him a record deal signing with Atlantic Records.
His first single through Don Cannon’s and Leighton Morrison’s imprint, Generation Now was WDYW. It was a collaboration with Rich the Kid and rapper A$AP Ferg. The song performed fairly well leading up to more collaborations with artists like Dej Loaf, Lil Durk, Fall Out Boys and producers like Metro Boomin.
The rappers’ first mixtape may have been The Real Uzi, but his first commercial one was titled Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World. By the end of 2016, he got inducted in Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang. There were some disagreements this record label, Generation Now, that saw the several of his album’s releases delayed. However, those are long gone now that Jay Z’s Roc Nation stepped in to manage him and build his net worth
Woods is a reputable Trap artist. Even though he only has one studio album, four Extended Plays, and mixtapes, the rapper still manages to pull off an impressive net worth. Some of his famous singles include New Patek, XO Tour Llif3, X, Sauce it Up and Erase Your Social.
On the other hand, let’s not forget his other collaborations with artists like Mac Miller, Post Malone, Migos and Nicki Minaj in the track, The Life Goes. His debut studio album received Platinum status by the RIAA after selling millions of copies and streams worldwide.
It also topped US Charts, US Rap, and R&B/Hip Hop Charts. In the UK, it went as high up to position 14. Some of the singles landed him a couple of nominations in the Grammys and Billboard Music Awards. However, Wood’s XO Tour Llif3 got him an award for Song of the Summer in MTV Video Music Awards in 2017.
Lil Uzi Vert’s work certainly paid off considering he holds a net worth of $17 million. The 8-figure comes from album sales and royalties from streaming, digital downloads, vinyl, and CDs. He also brings in a considerable amount from World tours and events.
Pollstar recorded his earnings from a single event roughly at $60K. Some of Vert’s music was incorporated as Soundtracks in films like Fast & Furious 8, and Bright. Others include video games like Grand Theft Auto V and Madden NFL 18.
His earnings last year during the 2017-2018 September bracket stood at $20 million. Mind you, that was through all the album delay drama. You can expect his net worth and earnings this year to rise much higher.
With a $350K chain which he wore at the Grammys, you can tell the rapper has a flair for extravagance and flamboyancy. Furthermore, the 24-year old owns a Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Spider Huracan, and Aventador. He also drives a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon and SLS AMG, a Rolls Royce Wagon and a Porsche 911 Camera. We still have no idea where he parks all of these since he has been very secretive on the details of his house
