Earnings History

Soulja Boy’s overall earnings history is somewhat limited. Still, we do know that during the peak of his music career, he earned an estimated $6 million in 2010 and $7 million in 2011.

Music Career

After finding fame through web-based platforms and the success of his first hit and album, it was widely believed that Soulja Boy would be the next big thing. It surprised many when his second and third albums flopped, with many artists supposing he would be yet another one-hit wonder. However, by returning to his roots and re-exploring internet platforms, Soulja Boy solidified his popularity and gained fame, ultimately leading to his major signing. Soulja Boy earned almost $7 million in 2012, leading Forbes to classify him as one of the main Hip Hop Cash Kings for that year.

The timing was a factor in Soulja Boy’s success. During those early streaming years, the bad-boy image of online rappers was gaining traction. In many cases, the more controversy, the better. Soulja Boy exploited this by putting out quite risky content, often involving violence and a sometimes sexually charged theme. This risky, edgy content, combined with energetic ‘Southern Sound’ rap that was becoming popular around then, helped confirm Soulja Boy’s success and launch him into the mainstream.

Private Jet Acquisition

Soulja Boy claimed to have purchased a $55 million private jet for his 21st birthday in 2011, though the claim was dismissed as a publicity stunt because there was no credible evidence of the acquisition. These exaggerated financial claims became part of the rapper’s public persona, reinforcing his image as a wealthy comedic entertainer and overall likability, even though the figures behind these announcements did not match reality.

World Poker Fund Holdings Contract

In May 2016, Soulja Boy announced a 5-year, $400 million endorsement deal with World Poker Fund Holdings. The partnership required him to promote WPFH’s gaming assets using his social media influence. However, while Soulja Boy signed the deal, further investigation revealed he had exaggerated the terms of the agreement. The deal was structured as a mix of stock and revenue-sharing based on the company’s future valuation rather than cold, hard cash. Even with the exaggeration, Soulja Boy still emphasizes the importance of diversification by investing in sectors he understands, such as gaming and music.

Additional Earnings

Aside from his primary income from music releases and record deals, Soulja Boy had publicly disclosed smaller earnings from various endeavors, including his social media presence. According to the man himself, he earned roughly $100,000 from TikTok over a two-year period, which would equate to approximately $4,840 per month. This included earnings of $17,000 in a single day.

Soulja Boy also earned roughly $50,000 from his cologne fragrance, SBOY by Draco, which includes both the SBOY For Him and SBOY For Her fragrances. Finally, he earned between $30,000 and $40,000 for his partnership with Grizzly Peak, releasing a cannabis brand, Soulja Exotics, which was sold at California dispensaries in 3.5g packages.

Ice-T Fall Out

In the summer of 2008, the well-known American rapper Ice-T criticized Soulja Boy for ‘destroying rap music’ and being generally untalented compared to other rappers. The feud likely did little to harm Soulja Boy’s brand image, and, if anything, Ice-T’s public dislike of the artist may have even helped further his fame. The feud was only temporary, and the two artists have since become friends.

Modern-Day Culture

Soulja Boy was featured in the NBA playoff series featuring Cleveland and Washington. In another spate of trash-talking early in the series, one of the players called Cleveland mega-star LeBron James overrated, prompting LeBron to say, “I won’t return the insult, as that would be like Jay-Z replying to Soulja Boy.” Soulja Boy made another appearance in the series, with his rap music played live over the sound system to irritate LeBron James.

Since those early years, Soulja Boy has become hugely successful. He is a mainstay of the rap scene, releasing regular mixtapes online, along with studio-produced singles, albums, and controversial music videos. Since then, he has released several mixtapes, singles, albums, and videos, all of which have contributed significantly to his success.
