Rapper T.I. had a very good 44th birthday in September 2024. Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., aka T.I., and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Harris, experienced a major victory that has certainly put them in a much better place.
The couple has had some significant issues with money over the past several years. In 2015, T.I. owed the IRS roughly $4.5 million in taxes from the years 2012 to 2013.
At that time, T.I. was still actively churning out that ATL sound and the occasional acting gig, so why pay taxes?
Needless to say, not paying them was a mistake due to the large amount owed. The money issues also affected their marriage, as Tiny even went so far as to file for divorce in December 2016, citing parenting issues with their youngest daughter.
Obviously, they were able to reconcile before the divorce proceedings moved forward. They only paid a portion of the money back, but now, money is no longer an issue. Now that they've had a huge win, what's Tiny and T.I.'s newly minted net worth?
T.I. and Tiny won a major victory against a toy company for stealing the look of their daughter's group, the OMG Girlz.
According to recently adapted reports from Celebrity Net Worth, T.I. had a net worth of $30 million before the major lawsuit win he had against toy company MGA with Tiny.
Along with his music career, T.I. has starred in several successful movies, has his own reality show, and has lucrative real estate investments. He is also a judge on Rhythm + Flow on Netflix.

What exactly was the catalyst to T.I. and Tiny's lawsuit against MGA and the L.O.L Dolls?
T.I. and Tiny won roughly $71 million in damages from the lawsuit: $17.9 million in actual damages and another $53.6 million in punitive damages. The case arose after T.I. and Tiny discovered the resemblance to Zonnique's group and took action.
The lawsuit stated that MGA's L.O.L OMG dolls were an example of cultural appropriation as well as theft of intellectual property. The win is huge for the couple, who have only paid roughly $1 million off of that pesky $4.5 million IRS bill, so we're happy for them.
