Jme Net Worth $3 million
Jme grew up in Tottenham, North London, where he attended Winchmore School along with his brother, and after matriculating went to the University of Greenwich, where he studied 3D Digital Design, and would graduate with first class honors.
Jme started his music career by making various mobile ‘phone ringtones, then began experimenting on creating sounds with audio editing software. Eventually he would form the group called Boy Better Know which would also lead to the creation of the independent record label of the same name. The original crew began being heard on radio stations locally before reforming under a unified independent label. His net worth started to increase as he made music through his label, and he then also became the co-owner of Uptown Records which is known for having a roster that included Mary J Blige, Guy, and Heavy D & The Boyz. He also increased his business endeavors by launching a nightclub called “Straight Outta Benthal”, and would also work on his debut album entitled “Famous?” which was a collaboration with “Boy Better Know” and was released independently, with some success and adding to his net worth.
In 2009, he released the single entitled “Over me” which led to another entitled “Sidetracked”, before working on the song “CD Is Dead” alongside Tempa T; eventually, these three songs would become a part of the 2010 album entitled “Blam!”, with the album’s cover art being done by his brother. The following year he worked on the compilation album entitled “History”, which climbed to the 162nd spot of the UK Albums Chart. His next project would be in 2012, entitled “96 Fuckries” which is a single that also reached the charts. He subsequently produced the album “Integrity” which was nominated for an IMPALA Album of the Year Award, but also continued to do business which helped his net worth, by setting-up a mobile company called “Boy Better Know Mobile” – the service uses “Pay As You Go”.
For his personal life, it is known that Jme married Sarah in 2016. His sister is DJ Julie Adenuga. Jme is a vegan, and is also a teetotaler, meaning he totally abstains from alcoholic beverages. In 2017, he supported Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn during the elections.
