Gucci Mane Net Worth

What Is Gucci Mane's Net Worth?

Gucci Mane is an American rapper, songwriter, record executive, author, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $25 million. That is a combined net worth with his wife, entrepreneur and model Keyshia Ka'oir.

Born Radric Delantic Davis, Gucci Mane is one of the foundational figures in modern trap music. He emerged from Atlanta's underground rap scene in the mid-2000s alongside artists such as T.I. and Jeezy, releasing a relentless stream of albums and mixtapes that helped establish Atlanta as the center of Southern hip-hop. His early projects, including "Trap House," "Hard to Kill," and "The State vs. Radric Davis," produced songs such as "Icy," "Freaky Gurl," "Wasted," and "Lemonade."

Gucci's influence eventually extended far beyond his own recordings. Through 1017 Records, he played an important role in the early careers of artists including Migos, Young Thug, Waka Flocka Flame, Pooh Shiesty, and Foogiano, while rappers ranging from Future to countless younger Atlanta artists have cited him as an influence.

His career was repeatedly interrupted by arrests, probation violations, drug problems, and prison sentences. After serving nearly two years in federal prison, Gucci was released in May 2016 and began the most successful reinvention of his life. He returned sober, physically transformed, and highly productive, releasing "Everybody Looking," "The Return of East Atlanta Santa," "Mr. Davis," "Evil Genius," "Breath of Fresh Air," "Greatest of All Trappers," and "Episodes."

In addition to music, Gucci has published multiple books, developed 1017 into a long-running record label, and appeared in major fashion campaigns, including Gucci's Cruise 2020 campaign. In 2025, he released the memoir "Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man," in which he discussed his struggles with addiction, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychotic episodes, as well as the treatment and lifestyle changes that helped stabilize his life.

Early Life

Radric Delantic Davis was born on February 12, 1980, in Bessemer, Alabama. His family later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he grew up primarily on the city's east side.

Gucci became interested in rap as a teenager and began writing lyrics while simultaneously becoming involved in street life and drug dealing. He briefly attended Georgia Perimeter College on a HOPE Scholarship but was expelled following a drug-related arrest.

Music gradually became his primary focus. By the early 2000s, he was recording independently, distributing music in Atlanta, and developing the slow, conversational delivery and slang-heavy style that would later become enormously influential in trap music.

"Trap House" and Rise to Fame

Gucci Mane released his debut album, "Trap House," in 2005. The project included "Icy," a collaboration with Jeezy that became a regional hit but also contributed to a long-running feud between the two rappers.

He followed "Trap House" with "Hard to Kill" in 2006, "Trap-A-Thon" in 2007, and "Back to the Trap House" later that year. "Hard to Kill" included "Freaky Gurl," which became one of his first songs to gain significant national attention.

Rather than relying only on traditional studio albums, Gucci built his audience through an enormous catalog of mixtapes. His prolific output allowed him to remain constantly present in Atlanta clubs, radio, blogs, and street rap even when legal problems interrupted conventional album promotion.

His mainstream breakthrough accelerated in 2009 with "The State vs. Radric Davis." The album reached the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and featured "Wasted," "Spotlight," and "Lemonade," which became one of the signature songs of his career.

Legal Problems and Prison

Legal problems followed Gucci throughout the first half of his career. In 2001, he was arrested on cocaine charges and served approximately 90 days in jail.

In May 2005, Gucci was attacked by a group of men at a house in Decatur, Georgia. Gucci and associates fired at the attackers, killing one man. Gucci surrendered to authorities and was charged with murder, but he maintained that he had acted in self-defense. Prosecutors ultimately dropped the murder charge in January 2006 due to insufficient evidence.

At the time, Gucci was serving a six-month jail sentence stemming from an unrelated assault case. Over the following years, he repeatedly returned to jail or prison for probation violations, drug charges, assault allegations, and other offenses.

His most consequential case began in 2013, when he was charged federally with possessing firearms as a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 39 months in federal prison. With credit for time served, Gucci was released in May 2016.

Previous Money Issues

In 2013, Gucci filed a lawsuit against his former manager, Debra Antney, her son Waka Flocka Flame, and several other defendants.

Gucci alleged that Antney and others had mishandled his finances, stolen jewelry, taken control of companies without his knowledge, and mismanaged royalties and assets. At the time, Gucci claimed he was experiencing serious financial problems and tax issues despite years of recording success.

The dispute reflected the chaotic financial circumstances surrounding much of the first phase of his career, before his prison sentence and later personal and business overhaul.

2016 Comeback

Gucci's May 2016 release from prison marked a dramatic turning point. He emerged visibly thinner, sober, and focused on rebuilding his career and personal life.

Within days, he released "First Day Out Tha Feds." Two months later, he released "Everybody Looking," which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. He followed it with "Woptober" and "The Return of East Atlanta Santa" before releasing "Mr. Davis" in 2017.

That period produced major songs and collaborations including "Both" with Drake and "I Get the Bag" featuring Migos. Gucci also appeared on Rae Sremmurd's #1 hit "Black Beatles."

He maintained an unusually high level of output with later albums including "Evil Genius," "Delusions of Grandeur," "Woptober II," "Ice Daddy," and a series of collaborative 1017 projects.

"Breath of Fresh Air," "Greatest of All Trappers," and "Episodes"

Gucci's later music increasingly reflected the stability of his post-prison life. In 2023, he released "Breath of Fresh Air," a lengthy project that mixed familiar trap records with songs about family, grief, maturity, and fatherhood.

In 2024, he partnered with DJ Drama for "Greatest of All Trappers," a project deliberately designed to evoke the mixtape-driven sound that helped establish Gucci during the 2000s.

The following year, Gucci released "Episodes," his 17th solo album. The 23-track project accompanied his memoir "Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man." Together, the album and book explored the less visible side of Gucci's turbulent early career, including addiction and serious mental-health struggles.

Gucci disclosed that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and described experiencing periods of psychosis involving hallucinations, paranoia, and delusional thinking. He credited Keyshia with recognizing warning signs during episodes and helping him seek professional treatment. Gucci has said therapy, medication, sobriety, exercise, and greater stability have all played roles in his recovery.

In 2026, the 20th anniversary of "Hard to Kill" was marked with a deluxe edition of the album, reflecting the longevity of a catalog that began during the earliest mainstream years of trap.

1017 Records

Gucci's role as a label executive has been nearly as influential as his own recording career. His 1017 imprint has existed in multiple forms and partnerships and became an important launching platform for new Southern rap talent.

Artists associated with Gucci and 1017 over the years have included Waka Flocka Flame, Young Thug, Migos, OJ da Juiceman, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, Big Scarr, and others.

The label has also experienced significant turmoil. Several artists encountered serious legal problems, while Big Scarr died from an accidental drug overdose in 2022. In October 2024, Gucci announced that he was releasing nearly the entire 1017 roster, explaining that he was evaluating the label from a profit-and-loss perspective. Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano were the primary artists he retained.

2026 Pooh Shiesty Case

In 2026, Gucci became the alleged victim in an extraordinary federal criminal case involving Pooh Shiesty, one of 1017's most successful signees.

Federal prosecutors allege that in January 2026, Shiesty and several associates arranged a meeting with Gucci and other music-industry figures at a Dallas recording studio under the pretense of discussing business. Prosecutors claim the group then robbed the victims at gunpoint and forced Gucci to sign paperwork releasing Shiesty from his 1017 contract.

Shiesty and several co-defendants were arrested and charged with federal kidnapping, robbery, and related offenses. Shiesty pleaded not guilty. Court filings later included surveillance footage that prosecutors said captured portions of the confrontation. His trial was subsequently pushed into 2027.

Despite the dispute, Shiesty's 2026 album continued to be distributed through 1017 Records.

Books and Business Ventures

Gucci expanded into publishing with 2017's "The Autobiography of Gucci Mane," which became a New York Times bestseller. He followed it with "The Gucci Mane Guide to Greatness" and then "Episodes" in 2025.

His income has also come from touring, merchandise, streaming royalties, label ownership, and endorsement work. Gucci's relationship with fashion has been particularly notable because of the coincidence between his stage name and the Italian luxury house. He ultimately appeared in Gucci's Cruise 2020 campaign, photographed by Harmony Korine alongside figures including Iggy Pop and Sienna Miller.

His ability to maintain cultural relevance across multiple eras has also made him a recurring figure in streetwear and fashion campaigns.

Personal Life

Gucci began a relationship with Keyshia Ka'oir after meeting her during the early 2010s. She remained with him through his federal prison sentence and became an important part of the financial and personal restructuring that followed his release.

The couple married in October 2017 in an extravagant ceremony filmed for the BET reality series "The Mane Event."

They welcomed a son, Ice Davis, in December 2020 and a daughter, Iceland Ka'oir Davis, in February 2023. Gucci also has an older son, Keitheon, from a previous relationship.

Gucci has repeatedly credited Keyshia with helping him create a stable family life, maintain sobriety, manage his businesses, and recognize periods when his mental health required attention.
