Lauryn Hill Net Worth $2 Million

Lauryn’s family was very interested in music and that eventually influenced Hill a lot. She listened to such artists as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Curtis Mayfield. Lauryn studied at Columbia High School and at the same time she took violin and dance lessons. At that time, together with Prakazrel Michel “Pras”, Lauryn created the band, called “Tranzlator Crew”. Later Lauryn also became interested in acting and appeared in the show entitled “As the World Turns”. She also appeared in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”, where Lauryn had an opportunity to meet Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Najimy, James Coburn, Maggie Smith and others. This added a lot to Lauryn Hill’s net worth.

After some time, the group which was formed in high school became “The Fugees” and in 1993 they signed a contract with “Columbia/Ruffhouse Records”. In 1994 their first album entitled “Blunted on Reality” was released. This also made Hill’s net worth grow. After two years, their second album, “The Score”, was released and gained a lot of success and critical acclaim. Despite the success this band had, in 1997 they decided to go solo. In 1998 Lauryn released her first solo album, entitled “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”. It was praised by the critics and made Lauryn even more popular. What is more, it also had a huge impact on the growth of Lauryn Hill’s net worth.

Despite the huge success she had, Lauryn was not able to hold the pressure of fame and took a break in her career. After some years she again started to perform and create music and continues doing it up until now.

Despite her success, Lauryn had some problems with the law and was imprisoned for three months. Hill has six children, five of them with Rohan Marley, who is known for being the son of Bob Marley.

Finally, it can be said that Lauryn Hill is a really talented musician, who began her career from a very young age and has achieved acclaim and popularity all over the world. Despite all the problems she has had, Lauryn has been able to overcome them and still continues creating music and participating in other projects. If this continues there is a chance that Lauryn’s net worth will become higher.

#Quote
1I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.
2I have a couple of all-time favorites: Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
3I'm trying to open up my range and really sing more. With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation,' it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.
4Let optimists rule the world.
5From the first time someone says, Who do you think you are? we learn how to repress.
6Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.
7With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation', it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.
8The danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.
9When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.
10Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of T.V., and you grow up on false images of what love truly is. We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, about it's not usually that way. Then you learn love is something deeper and purer in form.
11As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment - and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.
12I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.
13Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
14When you're young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I've graduated from that school.
15I got into direct confrontation with everybody I love.
16Nobody's going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?
17I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.
18We call ourselves creators and we just copy.
19To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.
20We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.
21We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
22I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.
23This life is a process of learning.
24I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.
25Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!
26Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.
27People need to understand that the Lauryn Hill they were exposed to in the beginning was all that was allowed in that arena at the time. I had to step away for the sake of the machine. I was being way too compromised. I felt uncomfortable having to smile in someone's face when I really didn't like them or know them well enough to like.
28What was freely given to me, I freely give.
29I believe God will make a way.
30You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.
31I never did anything I'm really ashamed of.
32The less I have, the freer I am to do whatever I want to do.
33Real religion is no religion at all.
34For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda.
35I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
36I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.
37When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
38That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
39We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
40Reality is easy. It's deception that's the hard work.
41Be honest, brutally honest. That is what's going to maintain relationships.
42I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.
43Consequence is no coincidence.
#Fact
1May 6, 2013 - Convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to three months in prison.
2She had a son on July 23, 2011. The name of the baby and the name of the baby's father has not been revealed.

7Went to the same high school as Garden State (2004) director/actor, Zach Braff.
8Her second solo album, 'MTV Unplugged 2.0', an ambitious two-CD set released on May 7, 2002, was recorded live with just Hill on vocals and acoustic guitar. It contains all-new, original material, as well as in-between song banter, and was introduced as an installment of MTV2's 'Unplugged' series. Selling only 470,000 copies, it was a relative failure.
