Drake is a Canadian rapper-songwriter who has amassed an estimated net worth of $100 million in 2015. He is currently making headlines after surprising the music realm with the sudden release of his collaboration album with Future, "What a Time to Be Alive" on Sunday night, Sept. 20. The surprise album release came ahead of his much-anticipated formal studio album, "Views from the 6," which is currently in the works.
Drake, who currently has an estimated net worth of $100 million as listed by The Richest, started in the music industry in February 2006 after releasing his first mixtape "Room for Improvement" through MySpace. Now, he has surprisingly released two albums in just a year, "If You're Not Reading This It's Too Late" in February and "What a Time to Be Alive" this month.
Drake's "What a Time to Be Alive," was first hinted on Sept. 10 when an artist on the rapper's OVO label posted a photo on Instagram that was quickly deleted. According to New York Daily News, Drake's latest album is far from the first album to be released without much build-up. The lack of hype did not hurt his album, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" because it is still the second bestselling album of 2015 so far.
After Drake's sudden release of his album collaboration with Future, music fans are surely looking forward to the next big album release of the rapper since "Views From The 6" is also slated to drop this year.
Drake, whose net worth reportedly stands at $100 million, officially started his music career in 2009 when he signed a recording contract with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment after receiving some of the 28-year-old rapper's music from Rap-A-Lot founder, Jas Prince. Since then, he became one of the industry's acclaimed rappers who has collaborated with superstars Kanye West, Eminem and Jay-Z.
From then on, Drake became a huge rap artist with a remarkable net worth value and has been nominated for numerous accolades including several Grammys. However, his successful career was never without controversies. As previously reported, he was involved in several public altercations including his first public feud with Pusha T through song lyrics, his physical altercation with Chris Brown in 2012 and Drake's most recent feud was with Diddy, when he slapped Drake outside a Miami nightclub last Dec. 7.
Going back to Drake's current net worth value, it seems that it have been contradictorily listed as Celebrity Net Worth estimated it to be $75 million while The Richest listed $100 million. Since it appeared quite odd, maybe it's safer to say that the range of the rapper's fortune is between $75 and 100 million.
