Lil Uzi Vert’s net worth
Lil Uzi Vert is an American rapper who has a net worth of $25 million. At various points in recent years, Lil Uzi Vert has been one of the highest-paid rappers in the world. For example, between September 2017 and September 2018, Lil Uzi Vert earned an astounding $20 million. That was enough to make him one of the 20 highest-paid rappers on the planet for that time frame. In the same period, he had 3.5 billion streaming views and played an impressive 76 live shows around the world.
On February 3, 2021, Lil Uzi Vert posted a video to Instagram in which he showed off a pink diamond that he had affixed to his forehead. He further claimed that he spent $24 million on the diamond. Lil Uzi claimed to have saved up for four years to buy the diamond, which he claimed was 10-11 carats. He claimed the diamond cost more than his entire car collection and his home.
The actual value of the diamond and the veracity of his claims are unconfirmed as of this writing. In the time that we had been tracking Lil Uzi Vert’s net worth up to that point, we estimate that his total gross income was $30 million. That’s pre-tax. So it seemed improbable that Lil Uzi did spend $24 million on a single diamond.
Lil Uzi Vert’s successful career
Woods changed his name to Lil Uzi Vert from the way someone described his rap flow, saying it was fast, like a machine gun. Woods released his first project, the EP Purple Thoughtz Vol 1., on January 19, 2014. The Guardian described the production as psychedelic and trippy. The single White Shit included a video that went viral in 2017 after Woods had entered the mainstream.
Woods caught the attention of ASAP Mob and producer Don Cannon after the release of the album. Cannon signed Woods to his The Academy imprint and produced his first mixtape, The Real Uzi, which was released in August 2014.
Atlantic Records then signed Woods to a record deal, and they featured him alongside Rich the Kid on Carnage’s single WDYW. He released his second mixtape, Luv is Rage, on October 20, 2015. In 2016, Woods released the single Money Longer on his SoundCloud. The song debuted at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #54. It was certified 2x Platinum.
In March 2016, a riot broke out at SXSW during Woods’s set. The following month, Uzi released his third mixtape and first commercial mixtape, Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World. It debuted at #37 on the Billboard 200 chart and spent 55 weeks there. Woods’ second entry on the Billboard 200 chart was You Was Right, which debuted at #89 in July 2016 and peaked at #40.
That same month, he announced his fourth mixtape, The Perfect LUV Tape. The mixtape, which was released on his 22nd birthday, featured the singles Seven Million and Erase Your Social, which both failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
