Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most successful rappers today, accumulating a net worth of $25 million at 27. Here's a look at how he built his fortune.

Born Symere Woods, the artist grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a child, he listened to hip-hop artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Mike Jones and Meek Mill.

At the age of 16, Lil Uzi Vert started rapping himself. Along with two classmates, he founded the group Steaktown, which did not last long.

He dropped out of high school and started working at a Bottom Dollar grocery store, but quit after four days.

After discovering that he had quit the only job he had ever had, his mother kicked him out of their house. “I had a job for f--king four days,” Lil Uzi Vert told The Fader. “I couldn’t do it. I’m not normal. I was in there just thinking, ‘Why am I doing this?”’

The circumstance pushed the artist, who at the time already had a tattoo on his face, to take rapping seriously. “It was like, if I get this face tattoo, I got to focus,” he told the magazine. “I can’t go [into] [anybody's] office with a suit on with this s--t on my face. I got to focus on what I want to do.”

He released his first EP, “Purple Thoughtz Vol. 1,” in January 2014.

He gained recognition after releasing his debut single, “Money Longer,” in 2016.

In August 2017, Lil Uzi Vert released his much-anticipated album, “Luv Is Rage 2.” The album, which included “XO Tour Llif3” as the lead single, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified platinum.

Throughout his career, Lil Uzi Vert has collaborated with several artists including A$AP Ferg, Mac Miller and Post Malone. His hits include “Luv Is Rage,” “Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World” and “The Perfect Luv Tape.”

Between September 2017 and September 2018, Lil Uzi Vert reportedly earned $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

This was enough to make him one of the 20 highest-paid rappers in the world for that time frame, the outlet noted. In the same period, he reportedly had 3.5 billion streaming views and had 76 live shows around the world.
