J Cole's net worth has been increasing rapidly ever since he signed to Jay Z's record label, Roc Nation.
Out of all the rappers in the industry, J Cole joined the list of those who easily stood out when he debuted. In fact, he impressed Jay Z when he released "Lights Please," promoting Roc Nation to become a pop label.
J Cole officially joined Jay Z's company in 2009. But is he richer than the legendary rapper already?
J Cole VS Jay Z Net Worth
Celebrity Net Worth currently estimates that J Cole's net worth is around $60 million, making him one of the highest-paid rappers in the world.
Despite that title, he is yet to reach Jay Z's spot as Beyonce's husband is already a member of the billion-dollar club. As of August 2022, Forbes shows that Jay Z's net worth is currently $1.3 billion.
Although J Cole is still far from that milestone, he has been showing instant progress as a producer, rapper, and producer. He also does well in his Dreamville Records, the company he founded in 2007.
He immediately scored people's attention during that year when he dropped his debut mixtape, "The Come Up."
From there, he released more mixtapes and albums under Roc Nation, including "Friday Night Lights, "The Warm Up," and "Cole World: The Sideline Story." The latter album scored No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, US Rap, and US R&B/Hip-Hop charts and was certified platinum.
His earnings per year also increased in the past years. For instance, he added $7 million to his bank account in 2014. The amount ballooned to $11 million, $14 million, $19 million, $36 million, and $30 million from 2015 to 2019.
His hit songs also brought him millions of dollars, like "Work Out," "Nobody's Perfect, "Déjà vu," "Neighbors," "Can't Get Enough," and "Power Trip," among others.
Aside from his works as a rapper, he also scored his biggest success as a producer when he launched Dreamville. Three of its nine albums were certified platinum. J Cole also gets a minor part of Tidal's earnings as a shareholder.
With his growing career, J Cole made sure that he shares his blessing. He established The Dreamville Foundation in October 2011 and began working on philanthropic events for underprivileged youth.
He expanded the company and formed Dreamville Ventures and Dreamville Studios in 2020.
