Future had a big year in 2022, so much so that he sold off a large portion of his music publishing catalog to Influence Media Partners. In September, Future reportedly sold a good portion of his catalog in an eight-figure deal that is said to be worth upwards of $75 million.
Future’s chart-topping, I NEVER LIKED YOU album also included Apple Music’s most-streamed song of 2022 in “WAIT 4 U” featuring Drake and Tems.
Future Hendrix also acquired new real estate this year, purchasing a lavish ocean-view apartment for $7.5 million in Miami. It includes a private pool and four-car sky garage on the same floor along with “a gym, spa, pool, lobby bar, restaurant, whiskey bar, cigar lounge, game room and a movie theater” decorated to look like the inside of a Bentley car.
