Nelly Net Worth: How Rich Is the “Hot In Herre” Rapper?

Reading time: 3 minutes

If you're old enough to remember the early 2000s, then you know that Nelly was a steady hit machine.

The St. Louis-based rapper burst onto the scene in 2000 with his debut album Grammar of the country.

In the years that followed, Nelly racked up numerous hits, including platinum hits like “Hot In Herre” and “Dilemma,” on which he collaborated with Kelly Rowland.

Nowadays, Nelly is a living legend in the world of hip hop.

And he has the bank account to prove it!

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Nellyville, you may be wondering how much money the emcee has made from all those hit records. Well, we have the answers you are looking for.

Nelly's Net Worth

The Celebrity Net Worth website estimates that Nelly is worth around $70 million.

Needless to say, it's not too bad. And the same site puts Ashanti Net Worth at around $5 million.

That seems like a low estimate, but regardless, they are a rich and powerful couple!

Nelly and Ashanti welcomed a child together last year. This is her fifth child and her first.

In 2016, it was reported that there had been a $2.4 million lien against Nelly for unpaid taxes, but it appears that this issue has now been resolved.

Where does Nelly's wealth come from?

As we mentioned earlier, Nelly had a string of successes, starting in the early 2000s.

From its debut in 2000 Grammar of the countryNelly has released eight studio albums, all of which have made appearances on Billboard's Hot 100.

Singles like “Country Grammar (Hot Sh-t)” and “Ride Wit Me” created the kind of genre-transcending crossover success we rarely see these days.

At 50, Nelly is no longer producing hits like he used to, but he remains very relevant thanks to his huge catalog of hits and the fact that he is still in the game.

His 2021 album Heart of the country may not have gone triple platinum like Country Grammar, but it featured cameos from popular acts like Darius Rucker and Florida Georgia Line, and it received very good reviews from critics.

Nelly has reached the point in his career where he no longer needs to rap, but it's clear that he still loves making music.

He may be fabulously rich, but don't be surprised if Nelly passes through your town on a nostalgia tour in the near future!
