Lil Wayne is not as wealthy as you might think.
According to the internet, Young Money’s CEO is worth $150-170 million. When you Google his net worth, you’ll find a nine-figure figure, but don’t believe everything you read online.
Wayne claims that his net worth is nowhere near that amount. During a recent interview, he was completely candid, revealing that the internet’s calculations of his fortune are incorrect.
“So when you go check a motherfu**er’s net worth and that sh*t be saying some crazy numbers, I don’t have a cent near that sh*t,” he admitted. “I don’t have that, but I suppose they’re implying that’s how much I’m worth.”

However, Wayne claims that he uses it to his advantage when speaking with his agent. “I’m always calling my agent like, ‘I’m telling you, bro, I’m going to fire the sh*t out of you because I don’t need you,'” he joked.
“It’s just motivation,” Wayne added, adding that he even brings up the “million-dollar” figure in arguments with his girlfriend. “Have a bad conversation with your girl that ends with the words ‘You ain’t shit.'” Check out my net worth.”
While the Young Money Millionaire may not be as wealthy as Google claims, he is still making money. He’ll be back on the road with his “Welcome to Tha Carter Tour,” which kicks off April 4 in Minneapolis.
When it comes to the richest rappers, JAY-Z reigns supreme. His net worth is said to have risen to $2.5 billion after he sold a 50% stake in D’USSÉ to Bacardi.
