If you've made it here, there is a good chance you are a fan of Mr. Scott. Born Jacques Berman Webster II, Travis Scott's come-up is legendary, making him one of my favorite artists to watch. Since day one, Scott's ability to create otherworldly sonic landscapes filled to the brim with fashion references, southern hip-hop history, and psychedelic visuals is unparalleled. He's carved out a space in the hip-hop halls and in our sneaker rotations. Even more so, he's built an impressive net worth. With the critically acclaimed"Utopia" officially on constant repeat (check out the Utopia Circus Maximus film below), it's the perfect moment to delve into the remarkable journey of the almighty Travis Scott.

Back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Scott was part of the Tumblr generation, a wave of young creatives obsessed with art, fashion, hip-hop, and, in most instances, Kanye West. At that time, Ye had just unleashed a sonic nuclear bomb that forever changed the cultural landscape, and his legendary collaboration album, "Watch The Throne," with Jay-Z, was on the horizon. This backdrop was crucial in shaping Travis Scott's story.

Travis Scott's musical trajectory was propelled not only by the inspiration he drew from Kanye's 2010 creative vision but also because Kanye was the one who first recognized his talent - signing him to the Kanye-led G.O.O.D. music label. With his exceptional flair for maximalist music production (notably his impressive drum sequencing), flim-inspired creative direction, and burgeoning rapping skills, Scott quickly stood out among his peers, positioning himself as one of the most promising talents in the hip-hop world.

Fast forward nearly a decade later. Travis Scott has evolved into a global icon, appearing in DIOR campaigns, collaborating with Michael Jordan on some of the most coveted shoes in history, and delivering a classic album along with a string of hit records. He has not only reached the pinnacle of success but has also become one of the wealthiest rappers in the game, thanks to his ongoing talent and relentless creative ambition.

Travis Scott's net worth clearly is a testament to his extraordinary accomplishments. Before we start turning up to Travis Scott's latest album Utopia, let's break down how Mr. Scott has built his empire.

What is Travis Scott's net worth?

Travis Scott's net worth is a tricky one to pin down. Among all the members in our pocket-watching guide, his reported range in net worth is the widest. For the sake of argument, we can estimate Travis Scott's net worth to fall somewhere between $80 million to $120 million.

The rapper known as La Flame knows how to flaunt his riches, and one glimpse at his car collection is enough to leave anyone in awe. A jaw-dropping $5.5 million has been invested in a fleet of super vehicles. The assortment includes a La Ferrari, Bugatti Chiron, Lamborghini Urus and Huracan, Toyota MR2, Maybach G650, and Range Rover Autobiography.

Yet, the crown jewel of his collection is undoubtedly his chocolate custom Lamborghini Aventador SV. Customized by the renowned West Coast Customs, it boasts a unique matte brown wrap and striking white wheels, signaling that it's not your everyday ride. With a powerful 750-hp engine, it outpaces even Scott's Huracan, while retaining the practicality of all-wheel drive, making it a serious performance machine. To add to the opulence, the interior has been redone with luxurious brown Alcantara upholstery.

Travis Scott's penchant for luxury extends to his jewelry collection as well, turning heads with pieces that would even impress a younger Pharrell. While all his major accessories are captivating, it's his custom Takashi Murakami chain that truly represents a big-ticket item. Crafted based on an illustration by the legendary pop artist, this distorted Jesus piece dazzles with 425 yellow diamonds, totaling a staggering 216.89 carats. Accompanying these are 57 baguette-cut white diamonds, as well as an array of pearls and colorful gemstones. The masterpiece, designed by Eliantte & Co, is rumored to have set Scott back approximately $275,000.

Additionally, Travis Scott has an excellent portfolio of homes both in Texas and La worth tens of millions of dollars. I am also punching the air right now at all of the sample Jordan 1 x Travis Scott samples he probably has lying around.

Why is Travis Scott worth so much?

Travis Scott's net worth is a testament to his undeniable musical talents. La Flame possesses a unique ability to create music with tremendous explosive energy, and akin to his mentor Kanye, he brings out the best in his collaborators. Chances are, you've got at least one Travis Scott song on your playlist, and the numbers don't lie. Throughout his career, Scott has sold an impressive 8,029,849 albums, adding approximately $20 million annually to his pocket. With the highly anticipated release of "Utopia," it's highly likely this figure will soar even higher.

Not to be overshadowed by his success as an artist, Scott boasts an impressive career as a producer too. Hailing from Houston, he has produced songs and albums for an array of artists, including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Trinidad James, Big Sean, John Legend, Drake, and Madonna. Moreover, his earnings from touring have been substantial, with Forbes estimating a staggering $65 million gross from his Astroworld tour.

Collaborations and endorsements have also played a significant role in boosting Travis Scott's financial prowess. In 2020, he secured a lucrative $20 million endorsement deal with McDonald's, sparking one of the most viral moments for the fast-food giant in recent memory. His exclusive digital Fortnite even proved to be another goldmine, with an estimated revenue of $20 million. Yet, his most significant achievement on this front remains his Nike/Jordan deal, which reportedly rakes in about $10 million annually.

How much does Travis Scott make per show?

Travis Scott is reportedly earning $1.6-1.8 million per show in the U.S. But, in some instances, he has made much more than that, with the artist being paid $6 million for a performance in Saudia Arabia.

How did Travis Scott get a Nike deal?

Travis Scott's partnership with Nike began when fans received the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Cactus Jack' shoes as gifts. The name pays homage to both his record label, responsible for producing Astroworld, and the football team from his childhood. The collaboration proved to be a massive success, prompting Nike to follow up with an Air Force 1 line featuring exclusive colorways just two months later. Notably, the shoes boasted an interchangeable Nike 'swoosh,' marking a revolutionary milestone in sneaker history.

Since the triumph of these initial collections, every subsequent release has been met with tremendous hype, and pieces from these lines have been known to fetch thousands in the resale market, particularly the coveted Jordan 1 drops.

And... I still can't get a pair.

Cue the music.
