How much money does Travis Scott have?

Travis Scott was born on April 30, 1992 in Houston (Texas) under the real name Jacques Webster II. Today he is considered one of the richest rappers ever. He also works as a songwriter, music producer and singer. The rapper has contributed to important works by Jay-Z and Rihanna . He and his (ex-)girlfriend Kylie Jenner have been on a break from their relationship since October 2019. The two have a daughter together named Stormi. Travis Scott’s estimated net worth is 45 million euros .

Career of Travis Scott

Travis Scott was already enthusiastic about music in his youth. He had already released his first releases back then. For example, an EP with the help of a friend called Graduates in 2009. Two self-produced albums with OG Chess followed later. After leaving college, he left his fraternity and headed to Los Angeles. His goal: a breakthrough.

With ambition, he made it to Kanye West and TI, who both had their own labels. Other members of the label were also represented on the releases, including Jay-Z. He was able to integrate himself into the label, especially as a producer, which led to collaborations with Rihanna (title: B*tch Better Have My Money) . Later, several collaborations with Drake followed .

He released his own mixtape in 2012 under the title Owl Pharaoh . His work was nominated as the best mixtape of the year at the BET Hip Hop Awards . The single Echelon (feat. 2 Chainz) was released separately as a single and thus he achieved his first placement in the rap charts.

Travis Scott first landed at number 1 with his debut album Rodeo . The single Antidote made it into the top 20 of the US charts and was later awarded platinum. Later, further collaborations with Wiz Khalifa , Justin Bieber and many others followed. He now has two platinum and one triple platinum album in the USA from his three studio albums alone. In total, over 5.5 million units have been sold.

Cash flow through music streaming

Travis Scott is undoubtedly one of the main beneficiaries of the streaming market . Rap ​​generally appeals to a younger target group and only younger people actually listen to a lot on Spotify , Amazon Prime Music, Apple Music and Co.

Travis Scott has over 39 million listeners on Spotify alone . Unfortunately, other platforms do not publish figures for this, but Spotify’s statistics are quite meaningful, as Spotify is the global market leader in music streaming. According to current statements, an artist with one million streams earns just under 4,000 euros. We use this figure to determine the estimated sales figures (on Spotify alone). The total earnings on Spotify of over 35 million euros contribute to a gigantic fortune.

The five most successful songs on Spotify:

• SICKO MODE with 1.256 billion streams; estimated revenue: 5 million euros
• Goosebumps with 1.130 billion streams; estimated revenue: 4.5 million euros
• HIGHEST IN THE ROOM with 731 million streams; estimated revenue: 2.9 million euros
• ZEZE with 515 million streams; estimated revenue: 2 million euros
• BUTTERFLY EFFECT with 503 million streams; estimated revenue: just under 2 million euros

Revenue from documentary film

Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly is a documentary film directed by White Trash Tyler. The film, which was also produced by Travis Scott himself, was released in 2019. It is about the artist’s promotional journey and stretches from his beginnings to his third studio album ASTROWORLD. The documentary was released on August 28, 2019 on Netflix, whose production company also shot the film.

There are no sales figures or cinema charts, as Netflix is ​​a streaming service and does not publish figures or anything else. However, Travis Scott may have received several million euros from Netflix and at the same time, Netflix also invested in the artist’s image. More people than ever may have become aware of Travis Scott, which would have indirectly helped him earn money through the film.

Merchandising as an additional source of income

Since music can hardly be sold in stores anymore, more and more artists (or their labels) are turning to online sales . New albums or mixtapes are offered separately as physical versions and sometimes also as vinyl via their own shop. This is well received by fans who collect all of the artist’s products.

Travis Scott also has his own shop, but his range of products is constantly changing. At the moment, you can find individual rims for several thousand euros, as well as a car at auction. The current mixtape is also available on vinyl, cassette, CD and as a “digital pack” (music download). Travis Scott also offers his own range of clothing, at Farfetch and Amazon. At over 100 euros for a hoodie from the album ASTROWORLD, the products are correspondingly expensive.

Fees for performances

His fee per tour appearance is 90,000 euros . A total of 10 tour appearances have been announced for 2020, through which he would earn 900,000 euros. His tours take place not only in the USA, but also in Poland, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Participation in the YouTube Partner Program

Like every artist, Travis Scott of course has his own YouTube channel. This is also very successful with over seven million subscribers. However, his click numbers per month are relatively low. In January 2020, for example, there were only 240,000 clicks. During a promotional phase, as was most recently the case in August 2018, this number can rise to almost a million. According to Social Blade, YouTube earnings are estimated at just 1,000 euros per month .
