Drake: The Rapper’s Net Worth and Income

How much money does Drake have?

At the age of 23, Drake wished he had a fortune of at least $25 million by his 25th birthday. The rapper has fulfilled this wish and today he is even much richer. This is how he made it onto the list of the highest-earning stars. His albums are very successful. The album Scary Hours and Scorpion, released in 2018, also  sold like hot cakes. Drake’s estimated net worth is €160 million. He is also an avowed fan of the NBA team Toronto Raptors and regularly makes headlines for his energetic behavior on the sidelines. Whether his wish to buy the team will eventually come true remains to be seen.

High income from Drake

Since 2016, Drake has even had his own whiskey called “Virginia Black Whiskey” in his range. With this and other merchandise items, his fortune continues to grow. The multi-talented rapper is also more than successful as an R&B singer, actor and presenter. In 2019 alone, he earned a total of around $75 million. So we can be curious to see how much he, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, will continue to expand his wealth.

Business is going very well for the musician. Privately, however, he is still looking for the perfect happiness. He is said to have had short relationships with other stars in recent years. Including other tennis superstars Serena Williams, Rihanna , J-Lo or Jorja Smith.

From TV star to successful rapper

At first, Drake, who in the meantime also appeared under the pseudonym Drizzy, was not known as a rapper. Rather, Graham began his career as an actor in the role of Jimmy Brooks in “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” It was not until 2006 that the all-rounder also appeared as a rapper with a series of self-produced mixtapes. The single “Replacement Girl,” which Drake recorded with Trey Songz, finally gave him his breakthrough as a musician, although real money-making success was a while away.

The Canadian, who now lives in LA like many other stars, did not have his own record deal at the time, but as an exceptional musical talent he was supported by music greats such as Kanye West , Lil Wayne and Jay-Z . His single ” Best I Ever Had ” followed in 2009, which became a resounding hit, especially in the USA. With this mix of R&B and hip-hop, Drake was eventually able to ensure that a number of record labels quarreled about working with him. Ultimately, a cooperation agreement was reached with Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records, in which Universal Records was also involved as a distribution label.

Then Drake could really take off with his music career. He has since been nominated for several Grammys. The black horse even got to perform at the 2010 Grammys ceremony. With more than 5 million albums sold, the rapper has proven that he is one of the greats in show business . In addition to a Grammy, he also received the Juno Awards for Best New Artist and Best Rap Album in 2010. “Thank Me Later” was released that year. As of 2018, Drake has released five studio albums, with his second album, Take Care, It’s Never Enough, winning him the 2013 Grammy, the most prestigious music award of all time. A BET Award also adorns the rapper’s shelf.

Drake has also made a name for himself as a popular advertising face. He was not only in action as an advertising star for Kodak and Sprite. His face also adorned the planes of the Virgin America airline, which relies on the coolness factor anyway. By the way, he was able to win over Jay-Z and Lil Wayne for his debut album . This has certainly contributed to the more than successful start of the Canadian rapper’s music career. So it’s safe to say that Drake really did everything right across the board and will continue to benefit financially in the future.

Mansion in Toronto – That’s how rich Drake is

In his video for the song Toosie Slide, Drizzy shows his swanky $100 million mansion brimming with luxury. An indoor basketball court is of course part of the 4,600 m2 villa, which is protected from prying eyes with 4.4 meter high fences.
