Introduction

As of March 2024, Soulja Boy’s net worth is estimated at around $10 Million. That’s quite an incredible figure when you consider his relatively young age.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, the popular American rapper DeAndre Cortez Way – or Soulja Boy, as he is commonly known – released his first hit single, Crank That, in 2007, at the age of just 17. 

The song went mainstream and became a huge hit, but what was interesting about this first Soulja Boy hit is that the tune caused a unique dance craze across the clubs and hip-hop/rap bars of America. As the dance became more popular, so did the tune, leading to a perfect storm of virility and propelling Soulja Boy into the mainstream.

Eventually peaking at number one in the charts, the release held that position for seven weeks through September and October of 2007, firmly announcing Soulja Boy as a serious player in the rap music industry.

It is not too unusual for American rappers to land a little lucky with one-hit wonders, but Soulja Boy cemented his fame with further hits while also producing and mixing for other artists, ensuring a firm reputation as a serious artist.

With the release of his debut album Souljaboytellem.com in 2007, his following album iSouljaBoyTellem in 2008 came with two further hit singles called Turn My Swag On and Kiss Me thru the Phone, which both made the U.S Billboard top 20.

Early Life

After being raised until the age of six in Chicago, Soulja Boy moved to Batesville, Mississippi, with his family, where he settled at school and made new friends. With a keen interest in music – specifically rap and hip hop – his father spotted potential in young DeAndre and invested in a recording studio at the age of just 14.

From there, Soulja Boy continued to develop his potential further, and he began creating his own tunes and raps. Becoming something of a respected, albeit quite young rapper in the state, Soulja Boy began experimenting with online releases.
