Yung Joc tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2022 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Yung Joc is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American rapper has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Yung Joc Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Atlanta Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderyung Joc - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Yung Joc) and a fashion line called “Yung Joc Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Yung Joc fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
