DJ Khaled Net Worth
DJ Khaled is an American record producer with an estimated net worth of $30 million. He was born on November 26, 1975 in New Orleans. His mother is a Palestinian immigrant and his father is, too. He is a devout Muslim and has been his entire life. Both his parents were into music, though they only played and listened to Arabic music while he was growing up. While he was a young child who was interested in rap music, his parents were supportive as he began to show an aptitude for being part of the game in a way that was more than just for fun. As DJ Khaled was growing up, he became more and more interested in the rap game. He was young, but he was also helping other young artists make their start in the game.
He helped some of the biggest names in the industry before they were even remotely famous, and that includes people such as Lil Wayne and even Birdman; both of whom are more successful than most anyone else in the game at the moment. He met both in 1993 while working at a music store in the Big Easy, and he made it a point to get to know both and get to know their style before he began working with them. His big break in the rap game came back in 2006 when he released is first album. It was one of 9 he’s managed to release thus far, though he does pride himself on spending more time producing music than he does rapping it. He works with huge names, and he often picks his favorite rap stars and works with them as often as he possibly can.
One thing that DJ Khaled did not see coming, however, was his huge internet success. He had no idea that the people who saw him on Snapchat would be so enamored by his larger than life personality that he would become a huge internet star in addition to being one of the biggest names in the music industry. Even when you don’t hear him in rap lyrics, you might know he’s there. He is not always in the music, but he almost always has something to do with getting it out there. He is a big name, and he is someone who has some serious life goals in that he’s making music left and right whenever he can.
Right now he is being described as one of the best of the best, and he has music coming out in 2016 that features even bigger names than ever before, such as Jay Z and even Future. He’s got more big names on his upcoming album than anyone else has in the past few years, and it’s going to drive his record sales and make him even more famous than he already is. It’s a nice place to be if you can get a job like his, and his net worth only grows every year.
