Jacques Bermon Webster II, professionally known as Travis Scott was born in Houston, TX on April 30,1991. He came into the industry ready to make a name for himself, but he isn’t just an artist. He is a producer, songwriter and fashion expert. Travis’ time in the industry has built a net worth that is worth talking about. We give Travis his flowers as we discuss the accomplishments that have led to the impressive Travis Scott net worth.
Travis Scott Before the Fame
Between the ages of one through six Travis stayed with his grandmother in South Park, Houston. Eventually he moved to a suburban area with his parents in Missouri City. From what we know, his mother was working for Apple at the time, while his father ran his own business. Travis attended Elkins High School and moved on to the University of San Antonio Texas for two years. He dropped out after two years so that he could start his music career full-time. You can say that Travis learned all there was about music from his father and grandfather. His father was a soul musician and his grandfather was a jazz composer.

How Did Travis Scott Come Up with His Name?
In an interview with Complex, Travis mentioned that the name derived from his uncle, whose name was Travis. His uncle’s nickname was also Scott, which he then merged together to create ‘Travis Scott.’
He explained his uncle’s style saying, “If I wanted to be a rapper, I wanted to be this n***a. N***a is smooth. Travis is smooth. I’ve always been smooth.”
Travis Scott is a phenomenal musician who has turned music into his playground. Let’s take a look at the career that led him to his $80 million net worth.
Travis Scott Career Path
Travis has a long list of accomplishments, starting with his Grammy win. He has over 100 charting songs, four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and over 49 million records sold in the U.S. alone.
Many people have described Travis music style to be a mixture of traditional Hip-Hop and lo-fi. Lo-fi is also known as low-fidelity, which is when the artist leaves their imperfections in the sound or quality of their music. It was extremely popular in the late 90s.
In 2012, Travis signed with his first major label, Epic Records, while also being an in-house producer for Kanye West label GOOD Music. In 2013, he was also working with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records. During that year, he released his first full-length mixtape called Owl Pharoah. By 2015, he released his debut studio album Rodeo, which featured his first mainstream hit, “Antidote.” The single climbed the charts as it was his first hit song that reached as high as number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The 2016 album Birds in the Trap Sing Midnight became the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. But it was his album Astroworld (2018) that turned heads worldwide. The album became number one on Billboard 200 along with his Drake-assisted single, “Sicko Mode,” which charted number one on Billboard Hot 100 chart. Shortly after, he dropped 3 number one singles and became the first artist to create that many hits in less than a year. But it wasn’t just his music that created revenue for the rapper.

Travis Scott Other Business Ventures
Travis founded Cactus Jack Records, a partnership developed with Epic Records in 2017.
Along with being involved in the fashion world, he partnered with popular clothing company A Bathing Ape (BAPE). His first project with the streetwear company consisted of three pieces: a long-sleeve tee, a T-shirt, and a shark hoodie. That collaboration granted him another one with a streetwear company called Diamond Supply Co., based in California.
He has many shoe companies that he works with as well, including Nike. He not only collaborates with clothing companies but with the film industry as well.
Travis Scott has made his name throughout the industry all while being a father. $80 million is just the beginning. There’s so much more money to come.
