Travis Scott Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Travis Scott’s Net Worth?

An American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer, Travis Scott boasts a net worth of $80 million. At the height of his career, he ranked among the highest-paid and most sought-after rappers globally. During a touring year, Travis typically earns between $40 – $60 million through various ventures. However, after the tragic Astroworld Festival incident in November 2021 that resulted in ten fatalities, he faced significant negative media attention. Additionally, Travis is well-known for his relationship with Kylie Jenner, which began in 2017, and they are parents to two children.

Distinguished by his unique fusion of hip-hop, trap, and psychedelic sounds, Scott caught widespread attention with his 2013 mixtape “Owl Pharaoh” followed by “Days Before Rodeo” in 2014. His debut studio album, “Rodeo,” released in 2015, cemented his status as a groundbreaking artist, featuring tracks like “Antidote.” Subsequent albums, including “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” (2016) and the highly praised “Astroworld” (2018), further enhanced his acclaim. “Astroworld” clinched the Best Rap Album at the Billboard Music Awards and received a Grammy nomination in the same category. The single “Sicko Mode” from the album marked Scott’s inaugural number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In addition to his musical achievements, Scott has ventured into the fashion industry, collaborating with prominent brands such as Nike and briefly partnering with McDonald’s, which featured a unique meal and merchandise.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born Jacques Berman Webster II in Houston, Texas, on April 30, 1992, Travis Scott spent his early years living with his grandmother in South Park, a high-crime neighborhood in Houston, until he turned six. He then relocated to Missouri City, a middle-class suburb southwest of Houston, to stay with his parents. After graduating from Elkins High School, he enrolled at the University of Texas San Antonio but decided to drop out during his sophomore year to focus on his music career.

Together with his longtime friend Christ Holloway, Scott formed the music duo “The Graduates,” releasing their first untitled EP on Myspace in 2008. Following this, he established the group “The Classmates” with another schoolmate, OG Chess, resulting in two collaborative projects. After leaving college, Scott moved to New York City, collaborating with his friend Mike Waxx. However, feeling stagnant, he relocated to Los Angeles just four months later, where he resided on a friend’s sofa while continuing his music production.

Music Career

The first solo full-length project from Travis Scott, a mixtape named “Owl Pharaoh,” was initially intended for free download in 2012, but delays occurred due to sample clearance complications. Ultimately, it became available as a release on the iTunes store in May 2013. Travis performed and continued creating music, including showcasing his talents at the 2014 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, before dropping his second mixtape, “Days Before Rodeo,” in August 2014.

His debut studio album, “Rodeo,” hit the shelves in September 2015 via Grand Hustle and Epic Records. Featuring collaborations with a range of artists including Quavo, Juicy J, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Swae Lee, and Justin Bieber, the album was received positively from both critics and audiences, debuting at third place on the US Billboard 200 chart. Following this, his second studio album, “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight,” launched in September 2016, marking his first number-one album on the US Billboard 200. That same month also saw him sign a global deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

In December 2017, Scott released his collaborative album with Quavo from the Migos rap group titled “Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.” Following that, in August 2018, his third solo album “Astroworld” came out. The second single from the album, “Sicko Mode,” marked his highest-charting solo record by peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He wrapped up 2019 with a collaborative album “JackBoys,” which was released under his Cactus Jack record label (established in March 2017) and featured artists such as Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and producer Chase B.

Among the notable singles and tracks Scott has been involved with are “Pick Up The Phone” (2016) alongside Young Thug and Quavo (which was certified double platinum by the RIAA), “Portland” (2017) with Drake, “Deserve” (2017) by Kris Wu, “Watch” (2018) featuring Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert, as well as “Power is Power” (2019) with The Weeknd and SZA for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

Scott has also gained recognition as a producer for various artists. Notably, he was the executive producer for Kanye West’s compilation album “Cruel Winter” from the G.O.O.D. Music label. He has collaborated on music with artists including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Trinidad James, Big Sean, John Legend, Drake, and Madonna, even producing the hit single “Bitch Better Have My Money” performed by Rihanna.

His contributions to music have earned him various accolades, such as the People’s Champ Award at the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards and the title of Top Streaming Song (Audio) for “Sicko Mode” at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. He was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammy Awards as a featured artist on Justin Bieber’s “Purpose.” Additionally, he received another Grammy nomination in 2018, along with several nominations in 2019, including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song.

The first shoe he launched with Nike, a collaboration on the Air Force 1 sneaker, came out in December 2017. He followed this with the release of the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 “Cactus Jack” in June 2018, the Travis Scott x Nike Air Force 1 “Sail” in August 2018, and the Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk in February 2020.
