"Rack Rack City": How Tyga Turned Music Stardom into a Multi-Million Dollar Fortune

Not all musicians experience the glamorous lifestyle they sing about, but Tyga truly does. The “Rack City” MC has had a monstrous career and an even bigger net worth. The rapper has been in the business since 2007, following the release of his mixtape Young On Probation. The Compton native eventually caught the attention of Lil Wayne and signed a deal with Young Money Entertainment.

Tyga’s debut album, No Introduction, was released in 2008, and it changed the trajectory of the MC’s career. The album featured the hit single "Coconut Juice," which helped him gain mainstream attention. However, it was his 2011 single "Rack City" from the album Careless World: Rise of the Last King that changed everything. The song peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold more than five million singles, according to the RIAA.

From chart-topping hits to successful business ventures, Tyga has built an impressive career. The rapper has amassed a fortune that is worth more than seven figures throughout his years in the music and entertainment industry.

According to , Tyga’s net worth is estimated at around $8 million, showcasing his multifaceted success in various domains.

Tyga’s primary source of income stems from his prolific music career. His hits “Rack City” and “Faded” became hip-hop classics, with RIAA certifications to prove it. His 2018 comeback single "Taste," featuring Offset, was also a commercial success. The song sold more than nine million units and was certified nine times platinum.

Tyga is also an entrepreneur. One of his most notable ventures was his clothing line, Last Kings, which he launched in 2013. The brand sold urban and streetwear-inspired fashion before it was discontinued.

In addition to his clothing line, Tyga has invested in the food and beverage sector. In 2020, he partnered with Grubhub to launch a line of all-natural chicken nuggets called Tyga Bites.

Additionally, Tyga's presence on OnlyFans, a subscription-based content platform, has proven to be highly profitable. His channel, which features exclusive content for subscribers, reportedly generates over $7 million a month, according to iHeart.

Tyga is a proud father of one, but his time as a parent has been riddled with drama. He shares King Cairo Stevenson, who was born in October 2012, with Blac Chyna. Tyga and Blac Chyna co-parent their son, maintaining a cordial relationship to ensure King Cairo’s well-being. However, they were previously involved in a bitter custody battle.

According to Page Six, Tyga and Chyna settled their legal dispute in December 2023, with a judge placing strict guidelines on the parents. Cairo is set to be in Tyga’s custody Monday through Friday, and he will spend weekends with Chyna.

Meanwhile, Tyga’s love life is a lot less dramatic. The rapper is not formally dating anyone. He was previously linked to Chlöe Bailey, but they have not confirmed their relationship (per Entertainment Tonight).
