Since Tyga gifted girlfriend Kylie Jenner with a $320,000 brand new white Ferrari for her 18th birthday, his finances have come under question as many wonder when he got so rich.
According to an article by UK Mirror , the 25 year-old might not be as famous as his 18 year-old girlfriend, but when it comes to money the Rack City star is definitely seeing the dollar signs rolling in.
His latest record – The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty – might have bombed, selling just 2,200 copies in it’s first week, but don’t let that fool you. Tyga – which stands for Thank You God Always – is making some serious dosh.
Music
While The Gold Album might not have set the charts alight, he still reportedly picked up over $300,000 for the effort and after his last six records – including his collaboration with Chris Brown Fan of A Fan – he’s earned around $1,277,373
Tours
According to Forbes, Tyga is one of the most lucrative Hip-Hop artists earning an estimated $50,000 for each night. His 22 date tour with Chris Brown reportedly earned $5,842,657 – with one gig at the Forum bringing in $1,501,732 alone.
Clothing Line
Tyga is making money outside music and like many business-savvy stars has his own clothing line – Last Kings. He picks up 10% of the companies earnings and as $3 million was made in 2012, it is a pretty lucrative venture for the star.
He’s also into shoes and in 2013 signed a $1.5 million deal with Reebok to produce a the TRAWW collection. He didn’t stop there are earlier this year launched a new footwear line with L.A. Gear with one pair going for $120.
Watches
It’s not just clothes – Tyga does accessories too and has his own Gold Pharaoh Watch range.
Porn site
One venture you don’t hear much about is Tyga’s porn site – yeah porn – he launched www.rackcityxxx.com in 2012 and even starred in one of the x-rated productions – Rack City: The Movie.
Speaking about his adult movie debut, Tyga admitted he’s been interested in porn for a while, he said at the time: “I just felt like now was a time that I wanted to be involved in the sexual part of it—how far can I actually go without actually doing porn? I think every guy thinks about that,”
The site apparently earned an estimated $12,000 in the first month.
How much is he ACTUALLY worth?
Most estimates put Tyga’s net worth at between 5-8 million, but with a new App and reality TV show Kingin’ with Tyga out this summer expect that figure to rise.
