His net worth is not small for his age since he is estimated to be worth 1 million USD in 2024. The 6 million USD that he should have taken were not taken in the end since his first album has not been sold in more than 250K copies. Most of this money was earned by the mixtapes and some of it was from the mixtapes and tours.

His net worth may even get smaller since he is under constants charges for avoiding to pay child support. So, he may even lose some money on this, as well.

He is also a very prominent member of the Chicago community since he tries to persuade the youth to choose the right path. Also, he has been noticed enjoying listening to loud music.
