What is Travis Scott’s Net Worth?

Travis Scott, an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer, boasts a net worth of $80 million. At his peak, he was ranked among the highest-paid and most popular rappers worldwide. During a touring year, Travis can accumulate earnings between $40 – $60 million from various ventures. However, he faced significant negative media attention following the Astroworld Festival tragedy in November 2021, where ten lives were lost. Additionally, he is well-known for his relationship with Kylie Jenner, which began in 2017 and resulted in two children.

Scott is recognized for his unique fusion of hip-hop, trap, and psychedelic music, first capturing public attention with his 2013 mixtape “Owl Pharaoh” and the subsequent “Days Before Rodeo” in 2014. His debut studio album, “Rodeo,” released in 2015, cemented his status as an innovative artist and included hits like “Antidote.” His following albums, “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” (2016) and the critically lauded “Astroworld” (2018), further enhanced his prominence. “Astroworld” earned the title of Best Rap Album at the Billboard Music Awards and received a Grammy nomination in the same category. Its hit single “Sicko Mode” marked Scott’s first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Scott has also ventured into fashion, collaborating with major brands such as Nike and engaging in a brief partnership with McDonald’s that featured a special meal and merchandise.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born Jacques Berman Webster II in Houston, Texas, on April 30, 1992, Travis Scott spent his early years living with his grandmother in South Park, Houston, a high-crime area, until the age of six. He then moved to Missouri City, a suburban middle-class area southwest of Houston, to live with his parents. After graduating from Elkins High School, he enrolled at the University of Texas in San Antonio but dropped out during his sophomore year to chase a music career.

Scott established a music duo named “The Graduates” alongside his longtime friend Christ Holloway, releasing their first EP on Myspace in 2008. In 2009, he teamed up with schoolmate OG Chess to form “The Classmates,” producing two projects together. After leaving college, Scott relocated to New York City where he collaborated with his friend Mike Waxx. Unsatisfied with his progress, he moved to Los Angeles after only four months in NYC, where he continued to produce music while living on a friend’s couch.

Music Career

Travis Scott’s inaugural solo full-length project, the mixtape “Owl Pharaoh,” was intended for a free download in 2012 but faced delays due to sample clearance complications. Ultimately, it became available in May 2013 on the iTunes store.

He concluded 2019 with the release of “JackBoys,” a collaborative album from his Cactus Jack record label, established in March 2017. This project included contributions from artists Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and producer Chase B.
