What Is Lil Uzi Vert’s Net Worth?
Jean_Nelson / Depositphotos.comLil Uzi Vert’s net worth is estimated to be $25 million. The American rapper earned a large portion of his net worth between September 2017 and September 2018, when he was one of the highest-paid rappers in the world.
During that time period, Lil Uzi Vert performed 76 live shows and delivered 3.5 billion streams. He earned $20 million in a single year, the single best 12-month period of his career.
Born Symere Bysil Woods, the rapper is known for his unique blend of rock and hip-hop elements that are led by his own style of songwriting and producing.
Let’s dive in and examine how Lil Uzi Vert’s net worth increased well into the seven figures.
How Much Has Lil Uzi Vert Earned From Music Sales?

Keep in mind that this includes the RIAA’s compilation, which includes physical album sales and digital sales and streams, which equate to a computed equivalent of digital sales.
- “Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World” – Certified platinum (1,000,000 units)
- “The Perfect LUV Tape” – Certified gold (500,000 units)
- “Luv Is Rage 2” – Certified double platinum (2,000,000 units)

ASCAP suggests that artists earn 10% to 25% of a top-line album’s suggested retail price. If we take a conservative retail cost of $10 per album, Lil Uzi Vert’s albums, which have sold an estimated 4.6 million copies, have earned somewhere in the vicinity of $46 million. Since we like to be conservative, we’ll assume a 10% royalty or $4.6 million in earnings.
When we remove agent and production fees and other expenses, it’s very likely that Lil Uzi Vert’s net worth only increased by $1 million to $2 million from his album sales.

Billboard estimates that Spotify pays an average of $.0038 per stream or around $3.8 million for one billion streams. Other sources have claimed rates between $.003 and $.005 per stream.
If we remain conservative at $.003 per stream, Lil Uzi Vert’s Spotify streams have generated an estimated $46.77 million.
We often see royalties of 5% for performing and an additional 5% for songwriting. We know the rapper performs and writes his songs, and an industry leak suggested that he was actually earning a 20% split.
If that split is correct, the rapper likely earned somewhere in the vicinity of $10 million to $12 million from Spotify streams.
Throw in billions of additional streams on Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal, and other platforms, along with a strong showing of 4.008 billion YouTube streams, and it’s likely the rapper has increased his net worth by at least $15 million, if not significantly more.
