These Iconic Songwriters Made Insane Fortunes

Drake ($140 million)

This might be surprising, but Drake’s net worth is surprisingly small due to his philanthropy and enormous lifestyle expenses. Similar to Ariana Grande, Drake started on a show for teens called “Degrassi,” from there he started releasing music that immediately took off. In theory, Drake’s net worth should be around $350 million, but after taxes and expenses, he sits around $150 million. This is because he likes to live lavishly, constantly traveling, purchasing expensive clothing, driving up million dollar bills at hotels and clubs, and donating a ton of money to schools, grocery stores, and communities to build up infrastructure.
