Before Wealth & Fame

Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Lil Baby and his two sisters were raised primarily by their single mother. As a child, he found ways to make money through gambling and hustling, eventually dropping out of high school and turning to street life. Lil Baby began selling drugs, such as marijuana, on the streets and making thousands of dollars a day. This resulted in him eventually being arrested and spending two years in prison before his rap career began.

Music Career

After his release from prison in 2017, Lil Baby began rapping under the mentorship of Young Thug, Coach K, and Pierre Thomas. He later signed to Quality Control Music, a record label founded by the latter two individuals.

That same year, Lil Baby released not just his debut mixtape, Perfect Timing, but also three additional mixtapes, Harder Than Hard, 2 The Hard Way, and Too Hard. Releasing four mixtapes within a single year helped him gain early recognition in the hip-hop industry. The latter mixtape, Too Hard, was later certified Gold by the RIAA in 2020.

In May 2018, Lil Baby released his debut studio album, Harder Than Ever, which featured artists such as Drake, Moneybagg Yo, Gunna, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, and Offset. The album debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 and has since been certified platinum in the United States. That same year, he released the best-selling single of his career, “Drip Too Hard”, which was a collaboration with Gunna. In September 2022, the RIAA awarded the single with the elusive Diamond certification. It’s the only single of Lil Baby’s career to sell over 10 million copies in the U.S.

Earnings Disclaimers

In a 2024 interview with Lil Yachty on his podcast, A Safe Place, Lil Baby discussed money, spending, taxes, and investments. While his comments were relatively brief on the subject, the rapper explained that throughout his career, he’d “got over $100 million from labels and deals” but didn’t know anything about paying taxes, accounting, or investing. Lil Baby also mentioned that he DM’d other music professionals, such as Rick Ross, to get advice on the subject. He also noted that his “first tax bill was so high” because he didn’t understand how to go about it, and that he didn’t pay his taxes for his first two years of rapping.

Gambling Losses

In the same podcast, Lil Baby also revealed that he’d lost between $8 million and $9 million of his own money in a single day of gambling at a casino. He subsequently stopped after that and made his manager, Mike Ruben, write a letter to all the casinos to ban him from their establishments. This only accounts for his biggest loss at one time, and not his total losses from gambling. 

Real Estate

According to reports, in 2020, Lil Baby acquired a mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, which he later had completely redesigned by Annysa LaMantia. The property features walk-in closets, a cinema room, and an outdoor pool. It’s unknown exactly how much he spent to purchase the home or how much he paid for the renovations. However, many have speculated that it cost him approximately $4.7 million to buy, and it is now worth an estimated $10 million. We were unable to verify these figures during our research.

Introduction

Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player with an estimated net worth of $350 Million

Her talent for the sport was first recognized when she attended Rick Macci’s tennis academy at the age of 3. Williams was also recognized for her unique playing style. She has recently made a career comeback after taking a break to care for her pregnancy.

Earnings & Prize Money

In 1995, Serena Williams competed in her first professional tournament, earning just $240 for the year. By 1997, her winnings had increased to $37,927, and just a year later, she had her first six-figure year, taking home $239,945.

In 1999, Williams won her first official Grand Slam title at the US Open, earning $750,000 in prize money. That year, she also won the Grand Slam Cup, which earned her $900,000. In total, she earned $2.55 million for the year.

From 2000 to 2005, Williams typically earned anywhere between $900,000 and $3.66 million annually. She earned the latter figure in 2002 when she won all three of the Grand Slam tournaments she competed in. This included $818,000 for winning the US Open, $632,000 for winning Wimbledon, and $679,000 for winning the French Open. 

Williams took a short break in 2006, earning just $131,705. However, she returned in 2007 and picked up right where she left off. From 2009 to 2016, Serena was at the peak of her career, earning between $6.8 million and $12.1 million annually in prize money. Her two most successful years were 2013 and 2015, during which she earned $12.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

In 2013, she won eight singles tournaments, including the WTA Championships, which paid out $2.15 million in prize money. She also had two other seven-figure paydays: $3.55 million for winning the US Open and $1.87 million for winning the French Open.

Total Prize Money

Throughout her professional tennis career, Serena Williams earned an estimated $92 million in prize money, with $89.15 million coming from singles tournaments. She also earned roughly $2.84 million from doubles tournaments, most of which she entered with her sister Venus. 

According to the WTA, Serena earned a total of $94.8 million, which we assume includes bonuses from winning various Grand Slams. 

How does this compare to her sister, Venus Williams?

Venus earned approximately $42.6 million from prize money during her career. Serena and Venus both had successful careers with high longevity. They competed against each other in Grand Slam tournament finals on nine occasions, with Serena winning seven and losing two. 

Endorsement Income

Despite earning $94.8 million on the court, the bulk of Serena’s income has been generated through her highly lucrative endorsement deals. In fact, since 2013, she has earned approximately $326 million from endorsements alone. That’s almost quadruple the figure she earned from prize money. Estimates of her annual endorsement income are as follows:

• 2013 – $12 million
• 2014 – $11 million
• 2015 – $13 million
• 2016 – $20 million
• 2017 – $19 million
• 2018 – $19 million
• 2019 – $25 million
• 2020 – $32 million
• 2021 – $40 million
• 2022 – $45 million
• 2023 – $45 million
• 2024 – $45 million

Puma Contract

In February 1998, Serena Williams signed a five-year, $13 million endorsement contract with Puma. The company was reportedly not involved in tennis at the time, but saw Serena’s potential and wanted to be a part of it. Williams also received offers from Nike, but turned them down as she felt Puma was the best fit for her. Serena was just sixteen years old at the time.

Nike Endorsement Contract

When Serena’s contract with Puma concluded in 2003, she signed a five-year, $40 million contract at Nike, equating to at least $8 million per year. She was also given various performance bonuses, potentially earning up to $11 million per year overall. The contract broke the record for the most valuable endorsement deal ever signed by a female athlete.

Additional Endorsements

Throughout the years, Williams has endorsed an extensive portfolio of brands, including:

• AT&T
• Audemars Piguet
• Beats by Dre
• Gatorade
• Gucci
• IBM
• Intel
• JP Morgan Chase
• Lincoln Motor Company
• Subway
• Wilson

Miami Dolphins Investment

In 2009, both Serena and Venus Williams reportedly invested a total of $10 million in the Miami Dolphins, which equated to an estimated 1% stake in the NFL team. Surprisingly, this made the sisters the first African American women to hold ownership in an NFL franchise.

At the time, the team was worth approximately $1 billion, and according to Forbes’ most recent calculations, the Dolphins are now worth $6.2 billion. If it’s the case that the sisters did not sell their stake or have it diluted, and they own 0.5% each, Serena’s stake is likely worth around $31 million.

Highlights

Here are some of the best highlights of Serena Williams’ career:

• ESPY Awards (Best Female Athlete, 2003, 2013)
• Glamor Award for The Athlete (2009)
• Teen Choice Award (Best Female Tennis Player (2010, 2012, 2014)

Introduction

Kourtney Kardashian is an American reality television star, businesswoman, model, and socialite with an estimated net worth of $65 Million.

Quick Facts

• Peak earnings of $4.5 million per season from KUWTK
• Earns $7.5 million per season of The Kardashians
• Paid $12 million for a 9,335-square-foot home in La Quinta, California

Reality TV

Kourtney Kardashian started her early career when she first appeared on the reality series ‘Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive’. In 2007, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian, along with their family, appeared on E!’s reality show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’ It showed their personal lives on television, including their private family conversations.

The show turned out to be highly successful, and she gained enough fame from the show. The huge success of this show led to the production of its spin-offs: ‘Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami’ and Kourtney and Kim Kardashian Take New York. They aired in the years 2009 and 2011, respectively.

Kardashian later made her acting debut and portrayed the role of attorney ‘Kassandra Kavanagh’ in ABC’s television series ‘One Life to Live.’ In 2014, she also starred in ‘Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons.’

In 2015, Kourtney Kardashian starred in two episodes of ‘I Am Cait,’ where she also had a recurring role in the series ‘Dash Dolls’ the same year. Kardashian is also a successful entrepreneur, and along with her mother, Kris Jenner, they opened a children’s store, ‘Smooch’.

The same year, Kourtney, Khloé, and Kim Kardashian released a tanner, ‘Kardashian Glamour Tan,’ and also launched a jewelry line for the company Saints, Virgins, and Angels.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Salary

In the latter seasons of KUWTK, Kourtney Kardashian was earning between $4 million and $4.5 million per season. In 2016, her annual earnings from the show were reported at $4.3 million. That year was during season twelve of the show, comprising 21 episodes, which equates to roughly $205,000 per episode.

Towards the final few seasons, Kardashian received $4.5 million per season. Between 2016 and 2021, a total of eight seasons were aired, likely earning Kourtney in the ballpark of $35 million. However, this figure doesn’t include her earnings before 2016.

The Kardashians Salary

In 2022, Hulu paid $100 million for the first two seasons of The Kardashians, and reports suggest that each daughter was earning $7.5 million per season. However, it appears as though the deal was for 40 episodes, leading us to believe that the format was later changed from twenty episodes per season to ten episodes. 

To date, sixty episodes of The Kardashians have aired, but according to IMDB, Kourtney has only appeared in forty of them. Thus, we don’t know if Kourtney earned the minimum of $15 million, as per the terms of the deal, or if she has continued earning more in the recent seasons. 

Real Estate

In 2014, together with Scott Disick, Kourtney spent $9 million to acquire  NFL star Keyshawn Johnson’s 12,000-square-foot mansion in Calabasas. This is an absolute family home heaven with six bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and kids’ rooms galore, where Kourtney resides with her husband, Travis Barker.

In June 2021, Kourtney purchased a 9,335-square-foot home in La Quinta, California, for $12 million. The house is fully furnished with (again) six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms. Its neutral tones of wood are a perfect match with the California desert.

Controversies

The life of the most popular family in the world can’t leave anyone indifferent and is not without controversy. Here are a few of them.

The first controversy concerns the fight between Kourtney and her sister, Kim Kardashian. One of the episodes of 2019 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians turned into a real fight between two sisters, which involved lots of kicks and punches and ended with Kim slapping Kourtney twice! It was a real drama.

Kardashian’s romantic life has also had its fair share of rocky moments. During a yacht trip to South France, Kourtney’s ex-husband, Scott Disick, was caught cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Bartol. Celebrities’ lives can’t exist without dumb gossip, but someone photographed the star getting close to another woman.

Personal Life

From 2006 to 2015, Kourtney Kardashian was in an intermittent relationship with Scott Disick. Their love story began at a house party in Mexico with their common friend Joe Francis. The two have three children: their youngest son, Reign Aston Disick, daughter Penelope Scotland Disick, and eldest son, Mason Dash Disick.

Disick and Kardashian’s relationship was a big part of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians show. Fans followed their multiple spin-offs, Kortney’s pregnancies, and the births of all three of her kids.

Kourtney also had a love affair with popular model Younes Bendjima from 2016 to 2020. Since January 2021, Kardashian has been in a relationship with Travis Barker, the drummer for the rock band Blink-182. In October 2021, the couple got engaged after Travis proposed to her in Montecito, California. They officially married on May 15, 2022.
