Chance The Rapper Net Worth $9 Million
The oldest child born to Ken Williams-Bennett – who worked in the office of former Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and later was an aide to Senator Barack Obama – and his wife Lisa Bennett, who was a secretary for the office of Illinois Attorney General, ‘Chance’ went to Jones College Prep High School and it was during his senior year that Chance recorded his debut mixtape “10 Day”, as an analogy to a ten-day suspension he received after he was caught in possession of marijuana on campus. Soon enough, Chance became a sensation, despite being ridiculed by teachers for his ambitions.
The mixtape was out officially on the 3rd April 2012, and since then has been downloaded more than half a million times through mixtape-sharing site DatPiff. His debut release launched him to stardom, which enabled him to generate new acquaintanceships with some of the most prominent producers and musicians, including Chuck Inglish and Kenny Jame$, among others, apart from laying the basis of his net worth.
He then collaborated with Childish Gambino on the song “They Don’t Like Me”, which can be found on Gambino’s “Royalty” mixtape. After a successful collaboration, Chance joined Gambino on his North America tour as an opening act.
He cemented his place in the rap scene with his second mixtape – “Acid Rap” – which has been downloaded more than one million times, which considerably increased his net worth. Since then, Chance has worked with a number of successful musicians, and also managed to expand his influence to the fashion world, as he worked with Dockers, and later H&M, which also contributed to his net worth. He perpetually worked on his music, however, and released another mixtape “Coloring Book”, which debuted at No. 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and won the Best Rap Album at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
In addition to his solo work, Chance is also a part of the Save Money rap collective, with Vic Mensa, Nico Segal, Towkio, Joey Purp and Kami, among others, and is the lead vocalist of the band The Social Experiment, with which he has released one album – “Surf” – in 2015, which also added to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Chance has a daughter, born in 2015 to his then girlfriend Kirsten Corley though they have since separated, but continue to share responsibility for the child. He is still resident in Chicago.
Chance is also a well-recognized philanthropist and is also active in politics, an outspoken critic of the current President of the USA, Donald Trump.
He is a devout Christian and has often mentioned Jesus Christ in his songs.
