$10,000,000

The Notorious B.I.G. was an iconic American rapper who had a net worth equal to $10 million at the time of his death (after adjusting for inflation).

  • The Notorious B.I.G. was a central figure in the rivalry between East Coast and West Coast hip hop, which escalated after the death of Tupac Shakur in 1996.
  • Despite a successful career and immense popularity, The Notorious B.I.G.'s life was tragically cut short when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997, at the age of 24.
  • His second studio album, "Life After Death," was released posthumously 16 days after his death and rose to number one on the U.S. album charts. It became one of the few hip hop albums to be certified Diamond.
