It’s only February, but 2025 has already been quite a year for Kendrick Lamar.
The rapper took home five Grammys last Sunday for his 2024 song “Not Like Us.” And he’s about to follow that up in epic fashion by performing during halftime at Super Bowl LIX.
Needless to say, no emcee on the planet is dominating the game quite like Kendrick at the moment.
And this new level of success has many fans wondering what K-Dot’s bank account is looking like.
The Many Careers of Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick is benefitting from numerous revenue streams these days.
In addition to multi-platinum singles like “Not Like Us” and chart-topping albums like last year’s GNX, he’s also one of the music world’s most in-demand collaborators.
Not only did he curate the acclaimed soundtrack for Marvel’s Black Panther, he’s also teamed up on tracks with artists like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, SZA, and Rihanna.
He’s also a popular touring artist, and Complex estimates that Lamar earned more than $150 million for his last two trips around the world.
And as Cosmo points out, Kendrick has also inked endorsement deals with brands like Calvin Klein, Beats by Dre, and American Express.
Interestingly, Kendrick is one of the only artists ever to turn down an offer to headline Coachella — but something tells us he’s not too worried about missing that paycheck.
Needless to say, the man has a lot more going on than just his well-publicized feud with Drake.
Kendrick Lamar’s Net Worth
So it should come as no surprise that Kendrick is seriously wealthy.
The website Celebrity Net Worth currently estimates his value at roughly $140 million. As always, it’s important to bear in mind that this is merely an estimate based on publicly available information about Kendrick’s holdings and career successes.
Clearly, Kung-Fu Kenny has a long way to go if he wants to catch up to billionaire musicians like Taylor Swift and Rihanna, both of whom he’s collaborated with.
And while Lamar might have emerged victorious from his feud with Drake, the perennially bankable Canadian is still winning the net worth war. According to recent estimates, Drake is worth roughly $250 million.
But thanks to that beef, Kendrick has reached a new level of popularity and influence in recent months.
And that could mean that his most lucrative years are still ahead of him.
