Wiz Khalifa is an American professional rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor with an estimated net worth of $70 Million.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $163 million between 2011 and 2023
• Peak annual income of $28 million in 2017

Estimated Net Worth

In 2024, Wiz Khalifa’s net worth is now estimated to be $70 Million.

Wiz Khalifa has had an impressive music career, releasing seven studio albums and reaching over 5 million album sales worldwide. However, one of the key things he’s been able to do throughout his career is showcase his passion for cannabis.

By utilizing his music as a medium, Khalifa has established marijuana- and smoking-related businesses and partnerships on the side, which have further elevated his net worth. This is similar to Seth Rogen‘s direction with his California-based cannabis company, HousePlant.

Before Wealth & Fame

Wiz Khalifa was born in Minot, North Dakota, on the 8th of September 1987. His parents served in the military, which meant the family had to relocate frequently. As a child, Khalifa lived in Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The family eventually settled in Pittsburgh, where Khalifa attended high school.

Khalifa’s stage name has two different meanings. The ‘Wiz’ part of his name originates from when he was a young boy, excelling in many areas. So people started calling him ‘Young Wiz’. The ‘Khalifa’ originates from Arabic, which translates to ‘successor’ or ‘wisdom’.

Music Career

The first label Wiz Khalifa signed to was Rostrum Records when he was only 16. Khalifa released several mixtapes through the record label and signed with Warner Bros. Records in 2007. Through Warner Bros. Records, Khalifa released several singles and collaborated with many artists, including The Game, David Banner, and Play-n-Skillz.

However, in 2009, he left the record label and continued working with Rostrum Records. A year later, he signed with Atlantic Records, began working with more hot artists, and quickly gained popularity. This was when he released the hit single ‘Black and Yellow’; success came soon after that. Many of Khalifa’s songs have been featured in the Billboard Top 100 lists.

Taylor Gang Entertainment

According to Wiz Khalifa, the phrase ‘Taylor Gang’ refers to a way of life involving getting high and making money. In 2008, Khalifa co-founded Taylor Gang Entertainment, an independent record label, film production company, and music management company.

The label has signed many popular artists throughout the last decade or so, including:

• Sk8
• Juicy J
• E. Dan
• Chevy Woods
• DJ Bonics
• Ty Dolla $ign

Following the birth of Taylor Gang Entertainment, Khalifa released a ‘Taylor Gang’ clothing line, which also sells skateboard decks, grinders, and similar accessories.

Khalifa Kush Enterprises

It shouldn’t be a surprise to people that Khalifa loves cannabis. After all, many of his songs solely focus on marijuana: ‘Love to Smoke’, ‘Smokin’ Section’, and ‘Weed Farm’, to name a few. In past interviews during the early days of his career, he mentioned that he was spending roughly $10,000/month on cannabis.

This led to him partnering with RiverRock Cannabis sometime between 2010 and 2012 to create his own strain, Khalifa Kush. The rapper kept his custom strain private for a couple of years before deciding to share it with others.

In 2015, Wiz Khalifa founded Khalifa Kush Enterprises to be able to sell his entire line of cannabis flowers, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, and concentrates. The continued legalization of marijuana throughout many states in the US and countries around the world has helped the company thrive in recent years.

RAW Partnership

In 2014, Wiz Khalifa announced his partnership with RAW, a smoking accessories company most commonly known for their rolling papers. Khalifa had used their products for years, and a partnership seemed imminent. RAW and Khalifa collaborated to produce the ‘Classic Khalifa: The Wiz Pack’ line, which included rolling papers, trays, and tips.

Earnings History

Between 2011 and 2023, Wiz Khalifa earned an estimated $163 million, with his annual income ranging anywhere from $1 million to $28 million. His earliest recorded yearly income was $11 million in 2011, followed by similar figures of $9 million in 2012, $14 million in 2013, and $13 million in 2014.

However, in 2015 things ramped up significantly due to a variety of factors. The first was his Boys of Zummer tour, which grossed approximately $18.2 million across 60 shows. Secondly, his single, “See You Again”, was featured in the seventh installment of Fast & Furious as a tribute to the late Paul Walker. Given the film’s success, Khalifa’s music sales experienced a dramatic increase during this time, with the single remaining at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for twelve weeks. Lastly, his cannabis brand, Khalifa Kush, was also rapidly growing in popularity. 

As a result, Wiz Khalifa earned an estimated $22 million in 2015, and this success continued into 2016, with $24 million in earnings, and 2017 with $28 million. The latter was the highest-earning year of his career. In recent years, activity has died down, but Khalifa still earns several million dollars per year through all his endeavors.

What is Soulja Boy’s net worth?

Introduction

Soulja Boy is an American professional rapper, songwriter, and producer with an estimated net worth of $10 Million. 

Quick Facts

• Earned a combined $13 million between 2010 and 2011
• Typically earns $4,850 per month from streaming
• Earned between $30,000 and $40,000 from Soulja Exotics cannabis
• Earned roughly $50,000 from SBOY by Draco cologne

Before Wealth & Fame

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, the famous American rapper DeAndre Cortez Way – or Soulja Boy, as he is commonly known – released his first hit single, Crank That, in 2007 at just 17. The song went mainstream and became a huge hit, but what was interesting about this first Soulja Boy hit is that the tune sparked a unique dance craze across America’s clubs and hip-hop/rap bars. As the dance became more popular, so did the tune, leading to a perfect storm of virility and propelling Soulja Boy into the mainstream.

Eventually peaking at number one in the charts, the release maintained that position for seven weeks, from September to October 2007, firmly establishing Soulja Boy as a serious player in the rap music industry. It is not unusual for American rappers to achieve success with one-hit wonders. Still, Soulja Boy cemented his fame with further hits, while also producing and mixing for other artists, thereby establishing a solid reputation as a serious artist.

After the release of his debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, in 2007, his follow-up album, iSouljaBoyTellem, in 2008, featured two further hit singles: “Turn My Swag On” and “Kiss Me Thru the Phone,” both of which made the U.S. Billboard top 20.

Music Career

In late 2005, Soulja Boy released his recordings on the (then new) platform YouTube. The songs were well received by the community, and Soulja Boy subsequently created web pages on MySpace.

In the spring of 2007, he produced Crank That together with his first self-produced album Unsigned and Still Major; generally speaking this was da album before da album, with a self-funded video filmed showcasing the now well-known ‘Soulja Boy’ dance. Towards the end of that year, Crank That was beginning to gain traction on rap stations, which in turn gave the artist a level of fame that led to a signing with Interscope Records.

Soulja Boy posted relentlessly on his social media accounts, effectively promoting his music on various early social media channels, which seemed to garner a large following solely through exposure on streaming platforms. During that same year, Crank That was played on the popular network series Entourage, and by late October/early November, he found success when the song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

His first record label album, Souljaboytellem.com, was released in the U.S. in October, reaching number 4 on the Billboard 200 and Hip-Hop Albums charts. A Grammy nomination followed for Crank That, with the artist losing only to Kanye West.

Reception

After finding fame through web-based platforms and the success of his first hit and album, it was widely believed that Soulja Boy would be the next big thing. It surprised many when his second and third albums flopped, with many artists supposing he would be yet another one-hit wonder. However, by returning to his roots and re-exploring internet platforms, Soulja Boy solidified his popularity and gained fame, ultimately leading to his major signing. Soulja Boy earned almost $7 million in 2012, leading Forbes to classify him as one of the main Hip Hop Cash Kings for that year.

The timing was a factor in Soulja Boy’s success. During those early streaming years, the bad-boy image of online rappers was gaining traction. In many cases, the more controversy, the better. Soulja Boy exploited this by putting out quite risky content, often involving violence and a sometimes sexually charged theme. This risky, edgy content, combined with energetic ‘Southern Sound’ rap that was becoming popular around then, helped confirm Soulja Boy’s success and launch him into the mainstream.

Private Jet Acquisition

Soulja Boy claimed to have purchased a $55 million private jet for his 21st birthday in 2011, though this claim was dismissed as a publicity stunt due to a lack of credible evidence to support the acquisition. These exaggerated financial claims became part of the rapper’s public persona, reinforcing his image as a wealthy comedic entertainer and overall likability, even though the figures behind these announcements did not match reality.

World Poker Fund Holdings Contract

In May 2016, Soulja Boy announced a 5-year endorsement deal worth $400 million with World Poker Fund Holdings. The partnership required him to promote WPFH’s gaming assets using his social media influence. However, while Soulja Boy did sign the deal, further investigation revealed that he exaggerated the terms of the agreement. The deal was structured as a mix of stock and revenue-sharing based on the company’s future valuation rather than cold, hard cash. Even with the exaggeration, Soulja Boy still emphasizes the importance of diversification by investing in sectors he understands, such as gaming and music.

Additional Earnings

Aside from his primary income from his music releases and record deals, Soulja Boy had publicly listed his smaller earnings from various endeavors, including his social media presence. According to the man himself, he earned roughly $100,000 from TikTok over a two-year period, which would equate to approximately $4,840 per month. This included earnings of $17,000 in a single day. 

Soulja Boy also earned roughly $50,000 from his cologne fragrance, SBOY by Draco, which includes both the SBOY For Him and SBOY For Her fragrances. Finally, he earned between $30,000 and $40,000 for his partnership with Grizzly Peak, releasing a cannabis brand, Soulja Exotics, which was sold at California dispensaries in 3.5g packages.

Earnings History

The overall earnings history of Soulja Boy is somewhat limited. Still, we do know that during the peak of his music career, he earned an estimated $6 million in 2010 and $7 million in 2011.

Ice-T Fall Out

In the summer of 2008, the well-known American rapper Ice-T criticized Soulja Boy for ‘destroying rap music’ and being generally untalented compared to other rappers. The feud likely did very little to harm Soulja Boy’s brand image, and if anything, Ice-T’s public dislike of the artist may have even helped develop his fame further. The feud was only temporary, and the two artists have since become friends.

Modern-Day Culture

Soulja Boy was featured in the NBA playoff series featuring Cleveland and Washington. In another spate of trash-talking early on in the series, one of the players called Cleveland mega-star LeBron James overrated, which led to Lebron James stating that “I won’t return the insult, as that would be like Jay-Z replying to Soulja Boy.” Soulja Boy made another appearance in the series, with his rap music being played live over the sound system, aimed at irritating LeBron James.

Since those early years, Soulja Boy has become hugely successful and is a firm mainstay in the rap scene, with regular mixtapes released online, in addition to studio-produced singles, albums, and controversial music videos. Since then, he has released several mixtapes, singles, albums, and videos, which have greatly contributed to his success.

Highlights

Despite his young age, Soulja Boy has achieved widespread success through various albums, mixtapes, videos, and radio appearances. His highlight reel is quite impressive, given the short span of time he has been in the spotlight.

Since 2007, he has been chiefly known for the following hits:

• BET Hip-Hop Awards, Best Hip-Hop Dance (2007)
• Souljaboytellem.com (2007)
• ISouljaBoyTellEm (2008)
• The DeAndre Way (2010)
• Plug Talk (2015)
• Loyalty (2015)
• Real Soulja 4 Life (2016)
• Best to Ever Do It (2018)

What is Ludacris’ net worth?

Net Worth:	$30 Million
Age:	47
Born:	September 11, 1977

Introduction

Ludacris is an American professional rapper, actor, and entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of $30 Million.

He’s also the founder of ‘Disturbing tha Peace’, an imprint distributed by Def Jam Recordings. If you don’t know him from some of his best music in the early 2000s, you probably know him from his role as Tej Parker in the Fast & Furious franchise.

Before Wealth & Fame

Ludacris was born Christopher Brian Bridges on the 11th of September, 1977, in Champaign, Illinois. He has no siblings, and although he was born in Champaign, he grew up in Chicago. Ludacris attended Emerson Middle School in Oak Park and Oak Park and River Forest High School for one year.

The family then moved to Centreville, Virginia, and Ludacris attended Centreville High School for one year before transferring to Banneker High School in Atlanta, Georgia, where he graduated in 1995. Essentially, the family moved frequently, and he attended numerous schools. Ludacris wrote his first rap when he was nine and joined a rap group at the age of twelve. After graduating from high school, Bridges studied music at Georgia State University.

Music Career

In the late 90s, Ludacris began his career in the music industry as a DJ at the radio station ‘Hot 97.5’ (now ‘Hot 107.9’) in Atlanta. While at the station, Ludacris DJ’d under the name ‘Chris Lova Lova’ and worked on his rap music on the side. Ludacris met hip-hop producer Timbaland while working at Hot 97.5, and Timbaland was surprised that no labels had offered to sign the rapper. Shortly after the pair met, Timbaland asked Ludacris to collaborate with him on a song called ‘Phat Rabbit’, which was featured on the album “Tim’s Bio: Life From Da Bassment”.

In 1998, Ludacris created his own independent record label, ‘Disturbing tha Peace’, with his manager, Chaka Zulu. Chaka’s brother, Matt Dixon, also joined in on the venture. A year later, in 1999, Ludacris released his very first album, titled ‘Incognegro’.

While the album wasn’t a huge success, it did gather the attention of record labels, and Ludacris signed with Def Jam Records in 2000. The same year, he released his second album, ‘Back for the First Time,’ featuring artists such as UGK, Pharrell Williams, Trina, Lil’ Fate, and Fate Wilson.

Ludacris would release another six studio albums within the decade before taking time off to put more effort and time into his acting career and business ventures. His latest studio album, ‘Ludaversal,’ was released in 2015. Since then, Ludacris has released several singles, and rumors are circulating that a 10th studio album is being worked on for release shortly.

Acting Career

Luda’s acting career is more extensive than his music career. He has appeared in nearly 30 movies, in addition to numerous television appearances. He began acting in 2001 when he appeared as a customer in the movie The Wash. Other famous hip-hop artists featured in the film include Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Xzibit.

However, Ludacris’ most famous character role would come two years later, when he first appeared as Tej Parker in 2 Fast 2 Furious, the second movie in the Fast & Furious franchise. Luda wasn’t the only music artist to break into the film industry through the movie; Tyrese Gibson also managed to secure the role of Roman Pearce in the film.

The success of the Fast & Furious franchise meant that both Tyrese and Ludacris would return for most of the franchise’s sequels. While the F&F franchise is where most movie lovers will know Ludacris from, he’s also starred in many other films, including Hustle & Flow, John Henry, and End of the Road. Ludacris has starred alongside stars such as Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, and Vin Diesel.

Conjure Cognac Liquor

In 2009, Ludacris collaborated with the renowned French Cognac producer Birkedal Hartmann to create Conjure Cognac. While many celebrities endorse various liquor brands, Ludacris is a co-owner of Conjure Cognac and played a significant role in the development process for the blend.

Soul By Ludacris

In 2011, Ludacris created his own headphone line, ‘Soul By Ludacris’, following in the footsteps of Dr. Dre with ‘Beats by Dre’, and 50 Cent with ‘SMS Audio’. The company that initially produced the headphones is called SOUL Electronics, and it’s safe to say that their collaboration with Ludacris put them on the map.

Several different models of headphones were produced under the collaboration, including the SL150 and the SL300. However, the product line has since been discontinued. The company continues to manufacture a range of earphones, headphones, and speakers.

Chicken + Beer Restaurant

In 2016, Ludacris partnered with Jackmont Hospitality to open a Southern soul food restaurant, ‘Chicken + Beer’, at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. The menu includes classic Southern food such as shrimp and grits, fried chicken, catfish, and mac ‘n cheese. There’s only one ‘Chicken + Beer’ restaurant currently up and running in the US; however, the company has stated that it will open a second location at LAX airport soon.

Child Support Payments

Ludacris’s child support case started in 2014, with his daughter Cai Bella’s mother, Tameka Fuller, asking for $15,000 per month. However, the rapper argued that he couldn’t afford it, saying his income dropped when Fast & Furious 7 was delayed after Paul Walker’s death, and asked the court to reduce his payments to $1,800 a month.

Nevertheless, the court established a new allowance of $7,000 per month, based on the financial documents presented during the suit. But, this wasn’t enough for Fuller, as she pointed out that Ludacris seemed to be spending a lot, having just bought a $4.8 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills and cashing in on two West Hollywood condos for $879,000 each. Despite a reported net worth of $50 million in 2023, Luda listed his annual income at the time as only $55,000.

In 2015, just two weeks after proposing, Ludacris married Eudoxie Mbouguiengue, adding a new chapter and complication to his ongoing child support case. Fuller suggested that this quick marriage would make his family situation look more “stable” and strengthen his custody case. Fuller’s team argued that the timing was no coincidence but rather a strategic move.

However, Ludacris denied any connection between his marriage and the case, stating that his personal choices were separate from his legal issues. Despite his obligation to pay child support, Ludacris eventually won primary physical custody of his daughter.

This high-profile dispute highlights the meticulous examination of financial claims in child support cases, with income, spending, and lifestyle all under scrutiny. For Ludacris, even personal choices, such as his marriage, have become part of a complicated and very public story.

Earnings History

Between 2007 and 2022, Ludacris earned a combined $160 million, with annual earnings typically ranging from $8 million to $12 million. However, in the late 2000s, he was earning much higher sums, including $16 million in 2007, $14 million in 2008, and $16 million in 2010. This was primarily due to Ludacris reaching the peak of his career during this time, with significant record sales, his Cognac partnership, and numerous endorsement deals.

Estimated Net Worth

In 2025, Ludacris’ net worth is approximately $30 Million.

Ludacris has done an impressive job of transforming his music career into a multifaceted empire, with multiple business ventures and sponsorships in addition to his latest acting endeavors.
