As per Celebrity Net Worth, Young Thug has a net worth of $10 million. The rapper broke onto the scene in the 2010s, especially after his mixtapes, 1017 Thug (2013) and Barter 6 (2015). He released a compilation album named So Much Fun in 2019, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Young Thug also started his own music label named YSL (Young Slime Life). However, he was arrested in 2022 and faced multiple criminal charges, including breach of the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. He was released in October 2024 after signing a plea deal.

However, due to his time in prison, he lost a lot of money due to his inability to perform on tours. As per Celebrity Net Worth, he charged around $500,000 per show at his peak, and hence, it was a massive loss.

However, he is back to creating music now and released a studio album titled UY Scuti on September 26.
