What is Tyga’s net worth?
Tyga is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, television personality and social media star. Tyga has a net worth of $5 million. His stage name Tyga stands for always thanking God. Outside of his music career, Tyga made a small fortune on the adult social network OnlyFans. At one point, he was reportedly the fifth-highest-paid person on the platform. He reportedly made $8 million through OnlyFans in about a year.
early life
Tyga was born on November 19, 1989 in Los Angeles as Micheal Ray Nguyen-Stevenson. Tyga is of Vietnamese and Jamaican descent. He grew up near Compton, Los Angeles, until around age 11, when he claims his family moved to Gardena, a Los Angeles suburb. We say he “claimed” to have moved to Gardena because back in December 2012, when he was 14, he filmed a segment of an unaired TV show called “Bustas”. In clips from the show, Tyga claimed to live in a “wealthy” home in the San Fernando Valley, and said his parents drove a Range Rover, not the impoverished neighborhoods of Compton and Gardena.
Profession
“No Introduction” was released on June 10, 2008, and was Tyga’s first independent album. The single “Coconut Juice” starring his cousin Travie McCoy was the first song to be released. Another song from the album, “Diamond Life”, was used in the video games “Need for Speed: Undercover” and “Madden NFL 2009”. The song was also licensed for use in the 2009 film Combat.
He was soon signed to Young Money Entertainment, Lil’ Wayne’s record label. Soon after, he appeared on the Young Money song “Bedrock” and released the mixtape “Fan of a Fan”. The mixtape features Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Lil Wayne, DJ Ill Will, DJ Rockstar and Kevin McCall. The lead single “Deuces” peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
His second studio album “Careless World: Rise of the Last King:” was released in February 2012. The album featured the chart-topping singles “Rack City,” “Faded,” “Far Away,” and “Make It Nasty.” In March 2013, he released his third studio album, “Hotel Californi”, which included well-known artists such as Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa. His fourth studio album, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, was released in June 2015 and sold just 5,000 copies. He released his fifth album in July 2017 and his sixth album in February 2018. Despite the recent decline in sales, Tyga has sold more than 600,000 albums and 12 million digital singles worldwide. After a prolonged period of poor sales and one album after another of negative reviews, Tyga’s May 2018 single “Taste” featuring Offset peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was his first top 40 single since “Ayo” with Chris Brown in 2015. That single was the lead single from his seventh album, “Legendary,” as released in June 2019.

personal life
In early October 2011, Tya attended Chris Brown’s “FAME” tour at the Diamond King Club in Miami. That night he met Blac Chyna. A month later, they officially became a couple. Their son Cairo King Stevenson was born in October 2012. They got engaged in December 2012. They broke up in 2014.
Tyga and Kylie Jenner have been dating for many years. They officially launched just days after Jenner’s 18th birthday. However, the pair have allegedly been dating since Jenner was 16. They split in April 2017.
Tyga runs a clothing store called Last Kings in Los Angeles. He reportedly spent $120,000 on the store’s interior.
financial problem
Tyga also has several tax issues. In September 2015, the state of California billed Tyga for $19,000 in unpaid taxes. A year ago, the IRS hit Tyga with $120,000 in unpaid taxes. In late February 2016, reports surfaced that Tyga’s G-Wagon was being recovered. According to reports, Tyga has not paid for several months. In August 2018, Tyga sued Birdman and Lil Wayne (owners of Cash Money and Young Money, respectively) for years of failing to pay him royalties.
real estate
Tyga is widely reported to own a $6.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California. He reportedly bought it for Blac Chyna when their son was born. This is not true. Tyga has lived in several mansions in Calabasas, California, all of them rented. Tyga isn’t exactly the ideal tenant for some of these homes, either. In June 2015, Tyga was sued by one of his former landlords for failing to pay $80,000 in rent. With penalties and interest, the amount owed is $124,000. In July 2015, Tyga was sued by another landlord for $50,000 in rent arrears on another Calabasas home.
