Industry estimates have put the value of one billion Spotify streams at $3 million to $5 million. Based on that estimate, the rapper’s tracks have earned between $14 million and $24 million for times in which she was the lead on the tracks. If we assume the rapper conservatively receives 5% of those earnings, she has likely brought in between $700,000 and $1.2 million from Spotify.
Throw in Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, and other music streaming platforms, and it’s likely that Megan Thee Stallion’s net worth owes even more of its fortune to streaming.
The rapper has also been featured and released albums that total more than 2.3 billion views. Keep in mind that 837 million of those streams come from her collaboration on the “WAP” track which she recorded with another rap superstar, Carbi B. She still has a long way to go before catching up with Cardi B’s net worth.
We estimate that Megan Thee Stallions has earned well over $1 million when all of her streaming royalties are combined.

Even at a mid-range of $50,000 per track, she is likely to bring in millions of dollars over the course of her career if her trajectory continues on an upward path.
