What Is NBA Youngboys Net Worth?
NBA YoungBoy’s net worth of $10 million has grown considerably since he first gained public recognition between 2015 and 2017 when he released six mixtapes. The rapper then followed up those efforts with his debut studio album, “Until Death Call Me Name” which features the single “Outside Today.” In 2019, the rapper also scored a top 10 single with “Bandit” which dropped on the chart-topping album “A1 YoungBoy 2.”
Also known as YougBoy Never Broke Again, the rapper appears to be living up to that name as his net worth grows every year.
Let’s take a look at NBA YoungBoy’s net worth through the lends of his album and single sales, touring, brand endorsements, and other business ventures.
NBA YoungBoy’s Album Sales
In his rather short career, NBA YoungBoy has managed to sell more than 11.5 million albums with help from 12 studio releases. Every album from the star rapper has gone Gold, Platinum, or Double Platinum.
NBA YoungBoy’s net worth is owed in large part to his ability to prolifically release new music. Even after leaving behind the mixtape scene, there are still years, such as 2018, when the rapper has released up to four albums in a single year.

NBA YoungBoy Is Big On Streaming Platforms
As of December 29, 2023, NBA YoungBoy has racked up more than 12.5 billion streams on Spotify. From those streams, he was a solo artist on more than 8 million streams and the lead on more than 9 billion.
Here’s the current chart from Kworb:
| Total | As lead | Solo | As feature (*) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Streams | 12,565,273,477 | 9,240,310,860 | 8,062,231,799 | 3,324,962,617 |
| Daily | 7,304,977 | 5,463,809 | 4,889,374 | 1,841,168 |
| Tracks | 632 | 511 | 449 | 121 |
Based on industry estimates one billion streams pay out $3 million to $5 million. If we based NBA YoungBoy’s earnings from his lead efforts his work has likely earned between $25 million and $50 million.
NBA YoungBoy’s net worth from those earnings likely increased by $1 million to $3 million based on a very conservative 5% royalty for his work on each track.
NBA YoungBoy Is Huge On YouTube
NBAYoung Boy’s YouTube videos have received 12.09 billion views as of December 29, 2023, with an average of 6,215,204 video players per day.
If we assume a conservative $3 RPM ($3 per 1,000 views), the rapper’s videos have earned somewhere in the vicinity of $3 million to $4 million.
The rapper has also built a huge following on YouTube with more than 13 million channel subscribers. While YouTube subscribers often don’t necessarily convert to more views, it does show the reach NBA Youngboy has achieved during his rather short time in the public spotlight.
NBA YoungBoy Charges $350,000 Per Feature
NBA YoungBoy charges an astronomical amount of money simply to appear on another artist’s track. It was revealed in December 2021, that he charges $350,000 per track, making him one of the highest-cost rappers.
To put that amount of money in perspective, his fellow rappers charge far less. Polo G, a sought after rapper, charges $150,000 while the incredibly popular rapper Lil Baby has revealed that he charges $100,000 a verse.
If the $350,000 charge is accurate, the rapper has likely made at least several million dollars from his guest tracks.
NBA Youngboy, it should be noted, is selected about the tracks he chooses. In 2021 he appeared on just three tracks; “Hood Melody” with DDG and OG Parker, “Everything Different” with Rod Wave from Kawhi Leonard’s Culture Jam album, and as a guest on Tyler, The Creator’s “WusYaName” off CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST.
NBA Youngboy Signed A $60 Million Album Deal
NBA Youngboy announced in August 2022 that he had signed a brand new recording contract worth $60 million.
The deal came about after he cleared up some issues he was having with Atlantic Records. The $60 million contract was signed with Cash Money Records.
The contract was well deserved given that NBA Youngboy’s net worth was largely built off the massive success of 20 charting albums on the Billboard 200.
NBA YoungBoy’s net worth continues to increase and with a huge contract to fulfill and a very active release schedule for his albums, he might just live up to his name and never be broke again.
