Success comes to those who work hard enough to earn it. This seems especially true in the case of Future Hendrix, one of the most successful names in the world of rap music. Despite the fact that the net worth of Future is millions of dollars, he still is one of the more ‘underground’ names in the industry.
Who is Future Hendrix?
Future Hendrix is an American song writer, rapper and record producer. He was born in 1983, in the state of Georgia as Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn. Nayvadius started using his stage name, Future, when he joined The Dungeon, a musical collective in Atlanta.
Future and His Love for Music
Hendrix had loved music from an early age. To help him explore his potential in the musical arena, his cousin Rico Wade encouraged Hendrix to polish his songwriting and rapping skills.
Rico had spotted the talent hidden in his cousin and told him he could make a good career in the industry. That is exactly what happened when Rico started releasing his mixtapes.
How did he Make his way to Success?
To make it big in the music scene, the rapper released many mixtapes between 2010 and 2011. A club in Atlanta started playing those mixtapes and that was what eventually gave him his big break. He was noticed by another rapper from Atlanta, Rocko, who signed him for his music label A1.
It was the year 2011 which set the rapper on the journey to success that he is on till date. It was then that Epic Records signed the future star, just days before his 3rd mixtape Streetz Calling was released.
In the same year, Future found his own record label by the name of Freebandz. In 2012 he released Pluto, his first debut album.
Major Success and Awards
Four singles from Hendrix’s first album gained popularity. ‘Turn on the lights’ from the album made it to the second position on US hip hop and r&b charts. It was Magic, a track from the same album featuring T.I that went on to become his first track to enter the Billboard hot 100 list.
Between the years of 204 and 2020, every mixtape that Future Hendrix has released has made its way to the Billboard top 200 list.
Here are some more awards the talented rapper has managed to bag :
- His mixtape Wrld on Drugs debuted at number 2 on the U.S charts
- 10 of his albums have made it to the top 10 in U.S
- Won a Grammy award for best rap performance in 2019
Future Net Worth
Hendrix’s net worth stands at an astounding $40 million currently. The money comes from tours, brand promotions and mostly from the streaming of his music.
On a yearly basis, his songs are streamed more than a billion times on services like Spotify and Apple Music. Some reports claim that he is paid $150,000 for a 45 minute long performance and $40,000 to be featured in a song.
High end brands also pay the star heavy sums of money for brand endorsement. This includes Reebok and Rolex.
Future and Controversies
The rapper is often the talk of the town, for one reason or another. The rapper has fathered a total of six children, all with different women. There could be more of Future’s offspring, according to claims put forth by two other women. Both the women decided to take the rapper to court. While one of the ladies eventually agreed to a settlement, the other has decided to go on to prove that she is the mother or future’s child.
Wilburn’s relationship with singer and model, Ciara Princess Wilson was a highly talked about one. The couple was going steady and even got engaged. However, the relationship ended only three months after the two welcomed their son, also named Future, in 2014.
Currently Hendrix is said to be dating Lori Harvey, the step daughter of Steve Harvey.
Hendrix and his Love for Lavish Cars
Future is known for his love for auto-mobiles and spends money like water on lavish rides. Some of his most famous-and loved- rides include:
- Porsche 911 Turbo S
- Rolls-Royce Ghost
- Bentley Continental GT
- Bentley Flying Spur
- Lamborghini Aventador
We hope Future continues to release mix tapes and set the bar even higher than he already has!
