Playboi Carti Net Worth $9 Million
Carti grew up in Fairburn, Georgia, where he enrolled at Creekside High School before transferring to North Springs Charter High School. In order to make the ends meet, as a teenager he found a job at H&M clothing retail stores chain, but that meant that he regularly skipped school classes. Into the world of music he dived as a young teenager, in 2009, when he began performing under the name $ir Cartier, and after a couple of years, he released his debut mixtape entitled “Young Mi$fit” in 2012. Although the majority of his early works had been removed from the global network, they provided the basis for Playboi Carti’s currently rather impressive net worth.
In 2012 he changed his stage name to Playboi Carti when he signed a contract deal with Awful Records, a label run by his fellow rapper called Father. In 2015 he released his debut singles, entitled “Fetti” and “Broke Boi”, which subsequently became hits. During the following year, Carti signed a record deal with A$AP Mob’s record label named AWGE which, in April 2017, released his self-titled mixtape, which produced two hit singles – “Woke Up Like This” which peaked at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as “Magnolia” which was ranked No. 11 on the Billboard US R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and No.7 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. This whole release was covered by the XXL, Spin, PopMatters and Pitchfork magazine, and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart. Certainly these achievements made a huge contribution to Playboi Carti’s overall net worth.
In his career to date, Carti has collaborated with several big names of the music industry today including, besides A$AP Mob, Lil Uzi Vert, Dreezy, Lana del Rey as well as Gucci Mane and Rich the Kid to name a few. Aside from music, Playboi Carti also took steps towards his modeling career – he promoted Kanye West’s Adidas Yeezy Season 5 sneakers, and was featured in OVO’s Lookbook made by Drake. Carti is also widely recognized for his unique image and fashion style, and was described as “the leader of a youth style” by the GQ magazine. Doubtlessly, all these references have helped Playboi Carti to boost his popularity, as well as to enlarge the size of his revenues by a large margin.
When it comes to his personal life, Playboi Carti has somehow managed to keep it quite private as there aren’t many relevant details about it. However, it has been publically acknowledged that since October 2017 Carti is dating an American model and TV personality Blac Chyna. Currently he resides in Los Angeles, California, and is active on social media networks such as Instagram, on which he is followed by more than 2.2 million fans.
