Iggy Azalea Net Worth $10 Million
Iggy became interested in rap at the age of 14, and formed a band, however, the other members did not take it that seriously and they split up. Azalea was dreaming about going to America, to become a rapper, and just after her 16 birthday, she did exactly that, and stayed there to get her GED (high school-level skills). Currently, she lives in USA leaving it every so often to renew her visa.
As she was always dreaming about the career of a rapper, her dream came true. After her first mixtape entitled “Ignorant Art” (2011) was released, she signed a contract with Grand Hustle record label. Then the EP “Glory” (2012) and the mixtape “TrapGold” (2012) were released. Following her participation in the festival in London, another EP was released under the title “iTunes Festival: London 2013” (2013). It is important to mention the fact that the above mentioned recordings, as well as the following ones, have been released under another record label Virgin EMI. Iggy rose to prominence when her first single “Work” (2013) was released. She was nominated as an Artist to Watch by the MTV Video Music Awards. Her debut single received platinum certification in USA, silver in Britain and gold in Australia. The same year, the rapper released several other singles “Bounce” and “Change Your Life”, although, they were not as successful as the first one. Afterwards, the single “Fancy” (2014) topped the charts of Canada, New Zealand and USA, and has been certified multi-platinum in many countries. Furthermore, the single “Black Widow” (2014) was also very popular among listeners. All popular singles were added into the first Iggy Azalea’s studio album “The New Classic” (2014) which has reached the top spot in the USA, second in Australia and Canada, and third in New Zealand. The album has added $454,000 to her net worth.
Since 2012, Iggy has been working with Wilhelmina Models International Inc; modelling has also added sums to her net worth as she was the face of such campaign as Levi’s “Go Forth” and others.
In addition to this, Azalea has made several appearances on television and cinema. She has appeared in the feature film “Furious 7” (2015) directed by James Wan. As a guest, she appeared in the television shows “Dave Skylark’s Very Special VMA Special” (2014) and “Saturday Night Live” (2014).
Iggy had been in a long term relationship with the record producer Chase N. Cashe. However, the couple split up after a few years spent together. Currently, she lives together with professional basketball player Nick Young, in Tarzana, California.
