To the world, he’s Roddy Ricch, a lyrical powerhouse with tons of hit records and heavy Rolexes to show for it. However, to the gritty streets of his hometown, Compton, California, he’s Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr. Read along as we look into Roddy Ricch’s net worth.
Born on October 22, 1998, Ricch’s rap dreams erupted at the tender age of eight. By twelve, he was already in the faces of hip-hip icons like Kendrick Lamar. At sixteen–after being kicked out of his mother’s house–he began making music. With industry geniuses like Lil Wayne and Meek Mill influencing his aspirations, it wasn’t long before Ricch developed his own artistry and became the force to be reckoned with he is today.
Roddy Ricch’s Breakthrough Came in 2018
You may have gotten familiar with Ricch in 2017 when he burst onto the scene with his debut mixtape, Feed Tha Streets, which sported songs like “Position” and “Chase Tha Bag,” or his EP Be 4 Tha Fame.
The following year, Ricch started to garner buzz, gaining recognition from Meek Mill, the late Nipsey Hussle, 03 Greedo, and superproducer DJ Mustard. In July 2018, he unveiled the lead single from Feed Tha Streets II called “Die Young.”
According to reports, Ricch wrote and recorded the song for a friend who died in a high-speed chase. The track saw instant success and prompted the West Coast native’s melodic (yet hard-knock) sound to appeal to the masses. Immediately, the streams skyrocketed from YouTube to Spotify, placing him at the ankles of mainstream success. Today, the music video is sitting at 144 million+ views.
Aside from a collaboration with Mill on his 2018 Championships album, Ricch made noise with his other highly-acclaimed song “Every Season” that year.
He Has Since Received Many Accolades
In February 2019, Ricch earned his first Grammy (Best Rap Performance) for his participation in Nipsey Hussle’s smash tune “Racks in the Middle” and another Grammy nomination for spearheading Mustard’s “Ballin’.”
The next month, he made waves when linking up with Tyga for Post Malone’s “Wow” remix. That December, he unleashed his debut full-length, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, through Atlantic Records. Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial is notable for spending four non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard chart, making history as the longest-running one of its kind since 2003.
The album, which broke out at #1 on the US Billboard 200, held an impressive tracklist, flaunting “Big Stepper,” “Start wit Me” feating fellow rapper Gunna, “Tip Top” featuring A Boogie wit da Hoodie, “High Fashion,” and the three-time Grammy-nominated single “The Box,” which was certified diamond in 2021.
Roddy Ricch’s Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ricch’s net worth is an estimated $20 million. Per Forbes’ website, back in 2020, he said, “I’ve made more this year than I have ever made in life–at home.”
Since Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial’s run, Ricch has released his sophomore album, LIVE LIFE FAST (2021), and a mixtape, Feed Tha Streets III (2022). Although LIVE LIFE FAST didn’t perform as commercially well as his first full-length, it’s still a noteworthy work.
From a sustainable catalog to sold-out concerts and even real-estate investments in California, he has seemingly set his pockets up nicely.
When visiting Sway in the Morning in late 2022, he expressed the importance of using his finances wisely.
He told the host: “I feel like I’m young, but, you know, I’ve been trying to make sure that I set a good foundation for like later on. You know what I’m saying? As far as like, just buying different, like I got real estate. We working on building out a studio right now. You know? [I’ve] been working with my mama on different construction projects.”
Ricch is currently gearing up for the release of The Navy Album. After a brief hiatus, earlier this year, he returned with two tracks: “Survivors Remorse,” where he worked with songstress Kelly Clarkson, and “911.”
What You Need to Know About His Kids
Ricch shares a three-year-old son, Kadence (born in 2020), with his ex-girlfriend, Alexandra Kiser. The former couple recently settled their custody case. She previously accused him of being an absent father.
According to TMZ, Ricch now has joint legal custody. Reportedly, he’ll have the little one from Tuesday to Thursday each week, but he has to cough up $8,000 in child support to Kiser.
Additionally, he’s responsible for the toddler’s private school tuition, medical bills, special-needs therapy, and extracurricular activities. Kiser will also receive $37,000 for her legal bills and $1,000 a month for her car payment.
In her filing, Kiser alleged that Roddy Ricch’s net worth sat at $25 million and normally charges around $500,000 for bookings.
