Morgan Wallen's net worth has bloomed even more since he started his career through "The Voice" season 6.
From trying his luck in the singing competition show, Wallen saw a spike in his popularity after debuting as a soloist in 2015. He continued to rise smoothly and held sold-out concerts across the country.
However, he does not have pure highs in his career, as he faced several controversies and failures before reaching where he is now.
Morgan Wallen's Net Worth 2023
As of 2023, Celebrity Net Worth estimates Morgan Wallen's net worth at $4 million. The amount makes him one of the most promising rising country singers in the industry.
Wallen first made a buzz when he joined "The Voice" season 6. Although he got eliminated, he made his way to the spotlight when he signed a deal with Big Loud Records and debuted his first single, "The Way I Talked."
He soon released his first album, "If I Know Me," three years before sharing his "Dangerous: The Double Album," in 2021. The latter spent ten weeks at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart.
In addition, the album brought him several recognitions and accolades, including best-selling album. It also scored the Billboard Music Awards' top country album award and the Academy of Country Music Award's album of the year award.
Wallen also became the top country male artist at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards with the same album. As of press time, Wallen has already released 13 music videos, 12 singles, three studio albums, and three EPs.
Morgan Wallen's popularity has not been without controversy, though, after the infamous 2020 incident happened.
Morgan Wallen's Controversies
It all started in May 2020 when he was kicked out of Kid Rock's bar and got arrested on public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges. The then-27-year-old soon released a since-deleted tweet to apologize to everyone affected by his behavior.
Only a few months later, videos of him drinking and partying without a mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. He was also spotted making out with women a week before his scheduled "SNL" debut performance.
Because of these, he was removed from the "SNL" performers list due to negligence. He also dropped out of the two-night Rome River Jam.
Things got worse when a video of Wallen yelling the N-word and other curses surfaced in February 2021. A news outlet shared the clip that has since went viral.
"I'm embarrassed and sorry," Wallen said. "I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better."
He lost his scheduled appearances at that time; even Big Loud records suspended his recording contract in the wake of the damaging events.
After the incidents, Wallen has been trying to get back up again. This year, he will continue his One Thing At a Time World Tour following the release of his 2022 sampler EP, "One Thing at a Time."
