What is YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Net Worth?

With a net worth of $10 million, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, commonly referred to as NBA YoungBoy, is a prominent rapper and songwriter. His rise to fame began between 2015 and 2017, a period during which he released six independent mixtapes. His breakout moment came with the single “Outside Today” from his first album “Until Death Call My Name,” which significantly boosted his visibility. The year 2019 saw him achieve even greater success with the hit single “Bandit” and the successful album “Al YoungBoy 2.”

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1999, YoungBoy was mostly raised by his maternal grandmother due to his father’s lengthy prison sentence of 55 years. As a young child, he suffered a neck injury while wrestling that necessitated a head brace, leaving marks on his forehead. He dropped out of high school during his teenage years and was later imprisoned for robbery at a juvenile detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana, where he began writing lyrics. After his release, he found that his grandmother had passed away and subsequently moved in with his friend and fellow rapper NBA 3Three, collaborating with him on various criminal activities to finance studio time.

In 2015, Gaulden launched his music career with his first mixtape, “Life Before Fame.” This was followed by several others, including “Mind of a Menace,” “Before I Go,” and “38 Baby,” featuring artists such as Stroke Tha Don and Boosie Badazz. Gaulden’s feud with rapper Scotty Cain gained him significant attention as they exchanged death threats through their songs. His notoriety increased further when he was arrested in Austin, Texas, on charges of attempted first-degree murder. While incarcerated in East Baton Rouge Parish, he re-released two previous mixtapes.

“Al YoungBoy,” “Until Death Call My Name,” and More Mixtapes

In August 2017, following the release of the star-studded video for his song “41,” Gaulden dropped a new mixtape titled “Al YoungBoy.” This turned out to be his most significant achievement at that time, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and giving rise to the singles “Untouchable” and “No Smoke.” His single “Outside Today” later reached number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018. Shortly thereafter, he released his debut studio album “Until Death Call My Name,” which climbed to number seven on the Billboard 200.

During 2018, Gaulden also released a mixtape named “Master the Day of Judgement.” Over the summer, he published four EPs, each composed of four tracks. He continued his momentum with the mixtapes “Decided” and “Realer.” By January 2019, Gaulden had established himself as one of YouTube’s Top Music Artists due to his abundant, exclusive content on the platform.

Further Hit Singles and Albums

Following a lengthy 14-month house arrest that prevented him from making music, Gaulden made a successful return to the music scene in October 2019 with the single “Bandit,” a collaboration with rapper Juice Wrld. This track made it to number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Gaulden’s highest-charting single thus far.

To date, shortly after this, he released his mixtape “Al YoungBoy 2,” which made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200. In its initial week alone, the album garnered approximately 144 million on-demand audio streams, marking it as one of the largest streaming launches of the year.

Following the success of “Al YoungBoy 2,” Gaulden introduced another mixtape titled “Still Flexin, Still Steppin.” In April 2020, he went on to release “38 Baby 2,” achieving his second album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200. Later that same year, he released yet another chart-topping album named “Top,” which led to the Hot 100-charting singles “Kacey Talk,” “All In,” and “My Window.” Subsequently, Gaulden issued the mixtape “Until I Return,” initially available exclusively on YouTube before expanding to various streaming platforms.

In 2021, Gaulden released “Sincerely, Kentrell,” followed by “The Last Slimeto” in 2022, and then “I Rest My Case,” “Don’t Try This At Home,” and “Richest Opp” in 2023.

Criminal Activity

Throughout his career, both prior and during, Gaulden has consistently found himself entangled in criminal activities. His offenses began in November 2016 when he was apprehended in Austin, Texas, for jumping from a vehicle and firing upon a group of pedestrians. He faced two counts of attempted first-degree murder and ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault with a firearm, receiving a sentence of 10 years in prison, three years of active probation, with the former suspended. Then, in early 2018, he faced arrest and incarceration due to allegations of assault, kidnapping, and weapons violations; shortly thereafter, he was released on bail.

While serving probation in 2019, Gaulden returned gunfire after being targeted by a suspect in a black Cadillac Escalade. Although the shooting charges were dropped, he was found guilty of violating his probation by associating with Trulondrick Norman and Ben Fields. Consequently, he received a 90-day jail sentence and was prohibited from performing for 14 months while under house arrest. Further legal troubles arose in September 2020 when he was one of 16 individuals captured in Baton Rouge for offenses including drug manufacturing and distribution, as well as possession of stolen guns. A year later, he was arrested again due to a federal warrant, which he tried to evade by fleeing on foot as federal agents approached his vehicle. In July 2022, he was acquitted of the federal firearm charges. As of March 2023, restrictions on his house arrest were lifted, allowing him to host more than three visitors simultaneously without a curfew.

Personal Life

Gaulden is a father to eleven children from nine different women; two of his sons, Kacey and Kayden, featured in the music video for his single “Kacey Talk.” In January 2023, he wed his long-time girlfriend and mother of two of his children, Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes.

He has expressed his desire to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints once his ankle monitor is removed.

Real Estate

Upon relocating to Utah, YoungBoy acquired a home in Salt Lake City valued at $5.2 million. It remains unclear at this time whether he bought the property outright or rented it from its new owner. Eventually, it was confirmed that he did purchase the home, possibly after an initial rental period. The purchase price was not disclosed, but the transaction took place in 2022. In March 2024, he listed the property for sale at $5.9 million. Here is a video tour:
