Post Malone Net Worth $1 Million
Post Malone spent one part of his childhood in his hometown until he moved with his family to Dallas, Texas at the age of nine, as his father became an assistant director of food and beverage for the Dallas Cowboys American Football team. Thus, he enjoyed watching as well as playing football as a kid. He went to Grapevine High School, and upon matriculation enrolled at Syracuse University, but he quit his education after several months to pursue his career in the music industry.
Speaking about Malone’s musical career, he started playing the guitar when he was 15 years old. At that time, he went to audition for the band called Crown the Empire, and although he was rejected by the band partly because his guitar strings broke during the audition, he continued to pursue his chosen career and moved his focus to producing, learning it at FL Studio. In 2011, Malone began working on his first mixtape.
When he left the college, Malone moved to Los Angeles, California, and there met Raye Rich, a producer who worked at Fki Music, and Rex Kudo, who is also a well-known producer. His breakthrough came when he wrote his debut single in two days in 2015, after which Kudo produced it and Malone uploaded it to his SoundCloud account under the title “White Iverson”. Later that year, he released the music video for the song, which currently has more than 440 million views. The single peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified four times platinum by the RIAA, which helped add a considerable amount to his net worth, and increased his popularity enormously.
Thanks to that success, he was spotted by a number of record labels, and he soon signed a recording contract with Republic Records, through which he released his debut studio album entitled “Stoney” in December 2016, in collaboration with such musicians as 2 Chainz, Justin Bieber and Quavo, among many others. The album reached No. 4 on the the US Billboard 200 chart, and achieved platinum certification, so increasing his net worth by a large margin.
To speak further about his musical career, Malone released the hit single “Rockstar” in September of 2017, which became a number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100, and his next project is “Beerbongs & Bentleys”. His net worth is certainly rising.
If to talk about Post Malone’s personal life, there is no information about it in the media, not even rumours. In spare time, he is very active across many of the most popular social media platforms, including his official Twitter and Instagram accounts.
