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 was among the highest-paid and most celebrated rappers globally. In a single touring year, Travis can effortlessly earn between $40 – $60 million through various ventures. However, following the tragic Astroworld Festival incident in November 2021, where ten lives were lost, Travis faced significant negative publicity. Additionally, his relationship with Kylie Jenner has drawn attention, as they began dating in 2017 and share two children.

Scott is recognized for his unique fusion of hip-hop, trap, and psychedelic music, initially gaining prominence with his mixtape “Owl Pharaoh” in 2013, followed by “Days Before Rodeo” in 2014. His debut studio album, “Rodeo,” which came out in 2015, cemented his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist with hits such as “Antidote.” His following albums, “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” (2016) and the critically lauded “Astroworld” (2018), further boosted his stature. “Astroworld” claimed the title of Best Rap Album at the Billboard Music Awards and was nominated in the same category for the Grammys. Its popular single “Sicko Mode” marked Scott’s first ascent to the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Aside from his musical contributions, Scott has made significant strides in the fashion industry through collaborations with prominent brands like Nike, along with a brief partnership with McDonald’s that included a special meal and exclusive merchandise.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Jacques Berman Webster II, known as Travis Scott, was born on April 30, 1992, in Houston, Texas. Until he turned six, he lived with his grandmother in the South Park neighborhood of Houston, an area known for high crime, before moving to Missouri City—a middle-class suburb southwest of Houston—to reside with his parents. He completed his high school education at Elkins High School and enrolled at the University of Texas in San Antonio, though he dropped out during his sophomore year to chase a career in music.

Scott teamed up with his long-time friend Christ Holloway to form the music duo “The Graduates,” releasing their first unnamed EP on Myspace in 2008. In 2009, he established a group named “The Classmates” with schoolmate OG Chess, resulting in two releases. After leaving college, he moved to New York City and collaborated with his friend Mike Waxx. After four months in NYC, feeling stagnant, Scott relocated to Los Angeles and spent his nights on a friend’s couch while pursuing music.

Music Career

Scheduled for a free download release in 2012, Travis Scott’s inaugural solo full-length project, a mixtape titled “Owl Pharaoh,” faced delays attributed to sample clearance issues. Ultimately, it debuted in May 2013 via the iTunes store. He continued to create music and perform, including at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas, in 2014, prior to the launch of his second mixtape, “Days Before Rodeo,” in August 2014.

His first studio album, “Rodeo,” dropped in September 2015 under Grand Hustle and Epic Records, featuring collaborations with artists like Quavo, Juicy J, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Swae Lee, and Justin Bieber, among others. The album enjoyed both critical and commercial success, debuting at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart. His second studio album, “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight,” was released in September 2016, marking his first number-one album on the US Billboard 200. That same month, Scott also secured a global deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

In December 2017, Scott released a collaborative album with Quavo from the Migos rap group titled “Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.” This was succeeded by his third solo album, “Astroworld,” which came out in August 2018. Notably, “Sicko Mode,” the album’s second single, achieved the status of his highest-charting solo single, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He wrapped up 2019 by releasing a collaborative album, “JackBoys,” under his Cactus Jack record label (established in March 2017), featuring artists like Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and the producer Chase B.

Scott has collaborated on several notable singles and tracks, including “Pick Up The Phone” (2016) with Young Thug and Quavo (which received a double platinum certification by the RIAA), “Portland” (2017) with Drake, “Deserve” (2017) by Kris Wu, “Watch” (2018) alongside Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert, and “Power is Power” (2019) with The Weeknd and SZA for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

Beyond his own music, Scott has gained recognition as a producer for other artists. He served as the executive producer on the G.O.O.D. Music label’s compilation album, “Cruel Winter,” curated by Kanye West. His production work extends to tracks and albums for artists including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Trinidad James, Big Sean, John Legend, Drake, and Madonna. He also produced Rihanna’s hit single “Bitch Better Have My Money.”

Scott’s contributions to music have been acknowledged with various awards. He won the People’s Champ Award at the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards, and at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, he took home the award for Top Streaming Song (Audio) for “Sicko Mode.” For his role as a featured artist on Justin Bieber’s album “Purpose,” he received a nomination for Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammys. Additionally, he garnered another Grammy nomination in 2018 and several more in 2019, including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song.
