In 2022, Universal Music Group confirmed re-signing of the rapper to a “long-term worldwide partnership” the deal included everything from “recorded music to music publishing, film, television and brands.” In one of his songs, Drizzy rapped “360 up front,” which could mean he’s been paid $360 million for the deal, while some sources estimated the deal value at $400 million.
In his career, the rapper has sold more digital singles than anyone in history. According to some sources, Drake has sold more than 163 million digital singles, which is 40 million more than second place Rihanna.
The rapper also earns a lot from his tours and concerts. Drake’s 2016 “Summer Sixteen Tour” was the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of all time at the time with a gross of $84.3 million off 54 shows, an average gross of $1.56 million per concert. He then broke his own record with Migos co-headlining tour in 2018 which earned $80 million in over 43 dates, which is an average gross of $1.86 million per concert.
In 2016, Drizzy spent $6.7 million to buy a plot of land in suburban Toronto in an area called The Bridle Path and then proceeded to build a 50,000-square-foot mansion on the two-acre property. In March last year, it was reported that the rapper secured a deal of $75 million to buy British singer Robbie Williams’ 20-acre Beverly Hills mansion. In May 2023, the rapper listed the mansion for sale for $88 million.
