Lil Uzi Vert Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What Is Lil Uzi Vert’s Net Worth?

An American rapper, Lil Uzi Vert boasts a net worth of $25 million. In recent years, he has frequently ranked among the highest-paid rappers globally. For instance, during the period from September 2017 to September 2018, he amassed a remarkable $20 million, making him one of the 20 best-paid rappers at that time. During this interval, he also achieved 3.5 billion streaming views and performed an impressive 76 live concerts worldwide.

$24 Million Diamond?

On February 3, 2021, Lil Uzi Vert shared a video on Instagram displaying a pink diamond that he claimed to have set on his forehead. He asserted that the diamond cost him $24 million, stating that he saved for four years to purchase it, which he estimated to weigh between 10 and 11 carats. According to him, the diamond’s price exceeded that of his entire car collection and his house. However, as this writing occurs, the actual worth of the diamond and the accuracy of his statements remain unverified. Up to that point in tracking his net worth, we approximated his total gross income at $30 million, pre-tax. Thus, it appeared unlikely that Lil Uzi truly spent $24 million on just one diamond. The NYPost article that reported the story seemed to have a somewhat promotional angle for the diamond’s designer as well.

Early Life

Born Symere Woods on July 31, 1994, in Francisville, North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lil Uzi Vert’s introduction to music began with the purchase of Mike Jones’ debut album. Influenced by artists such as Ying Yang Twins, Wiz Khalifa, Marilyn Manson, Paramore, and Meek Mill, he began to develop his style. In tenth grade, he was inspired to start rapping after listening to a classmate freestyle over a Chris Brown instrumental. Along with two friends, he formed a rap group named Steaktown. After dropping out of high school, he briefly worked at a Bottom Dollar grocery store before quitting after four days, leading to his mother kicking him out of the house—this became the catalyst for him to pursue his rap career seriously.

Career

Adopting the moniker Lil Uzi Vert, inspired by descriptions of his fast-paced rap style akin to a “machine gun,” he released his debut EP, “Purple Thoughtz Vol 1.,” on January 19, 2014. The Guardian characterized the production as psychedelic and “trippy.” The single “White Shit” gained viral popularity in 2017 after Woods had gained mainstream attention. Following the album’s release, he caught the interest of ASAP Mob and producer Don Cannon, who signed him to his The Academy imprint and produced his first mixtape, “The Real Uzi,” which was launched in August 2014. Subsequently, Woods inked a record deal with Atlantic.

Alongside Rich the Kid and ASAP Ferg, Woods made a feature on Carnage’s single “WDYW.”

Additionally, he released numerous tracks produced by Metro Boomin on SoundCloud and participated in Fall Out Boy and Wiz Khalifa’s “Boys of Summer” tour in August 2017. On October 20, 2015, Woods unveiled his second mixtape, “Luv is Rage,” which led HotNewHipHop to name him a “breakout artist of 2015.”

In 2016, Woods dropped the single “Money Longer” on SoundCloud. This track made its debut at #92 on the “Billboard” Hot 100 chart and peaked at #54, later achieving a 2x Platinum certification. During Woods’ set at SXSW in March 2016, a riot occurred. The following month saw the release of Uzi’s third and first commercial mixtape, “Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World,” which debuted at #37 on the “Billboard” 200 chart, remaining there for 55 weeks before eventually being certified Gold. Woods also collaborated with Kodak Black on the Parental Advisory Tour in May 2016 and earned inclusion as one of the ten 2016 XXL Freshmen that summer.

The second entry for Woods on the “Billboard” 200 chart was “You Was Right,” making its debut at #89 in July 2016 and reaching a peak of #40. In the same month, he announced his fourth mixtape titled “The Perfect LUV Tape.” Released on his 22nd birthday, this mixtape included the singles “Seven Million” and “Erase Your Social,” neither of which made the “Billboard” Hot 100. However, the mixtape did debut at #55 on the “Billboard” 200 and received a Gold certification. Collaborations for Uzi included A$AP Ferg, Mac Miller, and Post Malone. A collaboration mixtape with Gucci Mane was released in November 2016, and he was featured on Migos’ single “Bad and Boujee,” which debuted atop the “Billboard” Hot 100 in January 2017—marking Uzi’s first #1 single as either a lead or featured artist and his highest charting single overall.

While touring with The Weeknd in February 2017, Woods launched the EP “Luv is Rage 1.5,” which included notable tracks such as “Luv Scars K.o 1600” and “XO Tour Llif3,” the latter gaining immense popularity on SoundCloud and peaking at #7 while earning a platinum certification.

In August 2017, Lil Uzi Vert finally released his much-anticipated debut studio album, “Luv Is Rage 2.” The album featured the top-ten single “XO Tour Llif3” and debuted at #1 on the “Billboard” 200 Albums chart, achieving platinum status and producing ten chart-topping singles on the “Billboard” Hot 100.

Then in December 2019, Uzi’s single “Futsal Shuffle 2020” was released as the lead single from his planned second studio album “Eternal Atake.” A week ahead of schedule, “Eternal Awake” was launched on March 6, 2020, debuting at #1 on the “Billboard” 200 and collecting 400 million streams, marking the highest streaming count for any album since 2008. Following that, Lil Uzi released a new single titled “Sasuke” on April 24, 2020, his first since the deluxe version of “Eternal Awake.” During the summer of 2020, Uzi contributed to a remix of StaySoldRocky’s “Party Girl” and collaborated with Future for a joint project titled “Pluto x Baby Pluto.”

In October 2021, the single “Demon High” was released in anticipation of his upcoming album, “The Pink Tape.” In July 2022, Uzi made an announcement…

the EP titled “Red & White.” In September 2022, he teamed up once more with Yeat, featuring on the EP “Lyfe.” Together, they launched the single “Just Wanna Rock,” which became a viral sensation on TikTok, reaching a peak position of #10 on the “Billboard” Hot 100 charts.

Personal Life

From 2014 to 2017, Woods was in a relationship with fashion designer Brittany Byrd. Byrd, who relocated to California for her studies at Parsons School of Design, met Woods during that time. Numerous songs by Woods reference Byrd, and she also made an appearance in the music video for his breakout track “Money Longer.”

Following the passing of rapper Lil Peep, Uzi declared his decision to quit drugs and pursue sobriety. After the loss of another friend and fellow artist, XXXTentacion, Woods took to social media appealing to other rappers to help establish a foundation combating gun violence.

In early 2023, Lil Uzi Vert sparked controversy by unveiling a new face tattoo and a cross tattoo on his tongue. Although he’s previously faced allegations of Satanism, he clarified that he doesn’t align with any religion and does not believe in the devil.

In April 2023, he created a divide among his fanbase by revealing his alter ego, Leslie, along with a new look and the preferred pronouns of they/them.

Legal Issues

In 2016, Lil Uzi Vert was taken into custody for recklessly operating a dirtbike in Atlanta, Georgia. He attempted to escape on foot but was apprehended and held on a $6,500 bond. By November 2017, the charge had been settled with a community service sentence. In October 2020, Uzi and his friends were arrested in Philadelphia due to their involvement in a paintball gun fight, which they inadvertently revealed by posting a video on Instagram.

During a confrontation in July 2021 with Saint Jhn, Uzi displayed a gun upon seeing him with his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd. He pointed the firearm at Byrd’s stomach, though reports indicated that no one was injured, and all parties left the scene. Later that same month, Uzi allegedly assaulted Byrd, leading to her hospitalization after he repeatedly punched her in the face. His team did not respond to these accusations.

In February 2022, Lil Uzi Vert entered a no contest plea in court for one count of felony assault with a firearm and one count of misdemeanor injury. A plea agreement followed, requiring three years of formal probation, 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, a year of mental health and substance abuse treatment, restitution, and a 10-year criminal protective order.

Real Estate

In April 2021, Lil Uzi acquired a mansion in Bell Canyon, California, for $4.4 million. He put this property on the market in October 2023 for just under $6 million. By January 2024, the listing price was reduced to slightly below $5 million. Below is a video tour of the estate:
