DDG Net Worth

What is DDG's Net Worth?

DDG is a rapper, singer-songwriter, and YouTuber who has a net worth of $5 million. DDG began creating YouTube content in 2014, eventually earning a reported $30,000 monthly. After briefly attending Central Michigan University, he dropped out to focus on content creation and moved to Hollywood.

Music was always part of his background, as his father worked as an audio engineer. His early breakout came in 2016-2017 with tracks like "Lettuce" featuring Famous Dex, which reportedly gained 500,000 views in under an hour.

DDG's career reached new heights in 2018 when he signed with Epic Records. His 2020 single "Moonwalking in Calabasas" became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry and earned platinum certification. His debut album "Valedictorian" further solidified his position in the music industry.

$100 Million Net Worth?

In a March 2025 interview on Complex's "360 with Speedy," DDG implied his net worth was in the range of $100 million. He also said, "I'm a Libra, though. We be lyin and shit." You can jump to the 25-minute mark in the video below to see the specific claim. A month later, DDG admitted that he would "go broke ASAP" if he stopped working due to the burden of his financial obligations. He essentially claimed to be living paycheck to paycheck to afford his "multiple homes, multiple cars… and family."

Real Estate

In August 2019, DDG paid $1.65 million for a home in Chatsworth, California. There are no other homes in California owned under his name. Perhaps his other properties are owned by LLCs or are in other states.

Early Life and Education

DDG, an acronym for Darryl Dwayne Granberry, was born on October 10, 1997, in Pontiac, Michigan.

He went on to attend Central Michigan University, but dropped out to pursue his career as a full-time YouTuber.

Music Career

Among his earliest recordings, DDG made a diss track to rapper Lil Yachty called "Big Boat." His other early songs included "Balenciagas," "Free Parties," and "Lettuce," the latter of which became a substantial hit on YouTube. DDG had an even bigger hit with his single "Givenchy," which was released in late 2017. That track was featured on his debut EP, 2018's "Take Me Serious." After that release, DDG signed a record deal with Epic Records. He went on to release the EP "Sorry 4 the Hold Up" in March of 2019. Later that year, DDG released his debut studio album, "Valedictorian," which included the certified-Gold single "Arguments." The album also included the single "Push." DDG had his most commercially successful single yet in the summer of 2020 with "Moonwalking in Calabasas," which became his first song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 at number 82. The song spawned two remixes, the first featuring Blueface and the second with YG.

In March of 2021, DDG released the mixtape "Die 4 Respect," a collaboration with OG Parker. It reached number 61 on the Billboard 200. DDG went on to release his second studio album, "It's Not Me It's You," in 2022. The album was supported by the single "Elon Musk," featuring Gunna, which peaked at number 48 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Among the other singles on the album was "9 Lives," featuring Polo G and NLE Choppa. DDG has also been featured on many songs by other artists. He has appeared on tracks by Mystic, Ron Suno, Blueface, Melvoni, Almighty Jay, Nakkia Gold, and Deno, among others. In 2020, he co-founded his own record label, Zooted Music, with his longtime managers Dimitri Hurt and Eric O'Connor.

In 2025, DDG announced his album "Blame the Chat," teasing its release with a headline-grabbing offer of $2 million to IShowSpeed for a cameo in a music video. While it's unclear whether the offer was serious or promotional, it highlighted DDG's aggressive investment in content and publicity.

Amateur Boxing

Beyond his music and social media career, DDG has forayed into amateur boxing. He made his debut in a match against Nate Wyatt in June of 2021 at an event in Miami Gardens, Florida, pitting YouTube personalities against TikTok personalities. Ultimately, DDG beat Wyatt in the fifth round via unanimous decision.
