Mac Mill reportedly died with a sizable amount of money. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Miller left behind a fortune worth around $9 million.
The Pittsburgh-bred artist made history in 2011 when he released his debut album Blue Slide Park. It marked the first independently-distributed debut to nab the coveted No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 since 1995 when Tha Dogg Pound released Dogg Food.
Miller’s label at the time — Rostrum Records — had a deal in place with iTunes that required them to pay the streaming platform just 25 percent of the album’s earnings and they got to split the rest.
After he parted ways with the imprint, Miller signed a deal with Warner Bros. for a reported $10 million.
The 26-year-old crafted five studio albums — including last month’s Swimming — which all debuted in the Top 5.
Over the years, Miller became the youngest MC to earn a spot on Forbes’ Hip-Hop Cash Kings list several years in a row.
Miller died on Friday (September 7) from a suspected drug overdose. Scores of fans and peers took to social media to express their grief.
His family released a statement at the time asking for privacy.
“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” the statement read. “He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time.”
A celebration of Miller’s life takes place on Tuesday (September 11) at Pittsburgh’s Blue Slide Park.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
So y’all checked Celebrity Net Worth, one of the least credible sites on the world wide web, and then wrote a whole article about it?
Had to pull my own “Trust but verify” but you sure are right. It almost feels like plagiarism but honestly what did you expect from this site trying to stay up with their ad dollars via Alexa ranking?
What do you expect from the same clown that gave Jay & Beyonce album a 5?
He had more money at 26 than I ever had. Hurts my feelings as a man but good for him. I hope he rocked out with the ladies hard in his short life. I hope he didn’t waste time slamming new ones by getting too hung up over that stupid little bitch.
He didn’t spend it all on rims and chains???
