What is Meek Mill's net worth

Meek Mill is an American rapper, songwriter, and activist who has a net worth of $20 million. Meek Mill is one of the most popular rappers in the world today. His mixtapes, particularly the "Flamerz" series, garnered attention in the underground hip-hop scene and led to his signing with Grand Hustle Records, under the mentorship of rapper T.I. In 2011, Meek Mill signed with Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group (MMG). A year later he released his debut studio album "Dreams and Nightmares.". The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and featured the hit single "Amen," which showcased his signature energetic style.

Early Life

Robert Rahmeek Williams, known professionally as Meek Mill, was born on May 6, 1987, in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Meek's father was killed during an attempted robbery when he was five years old. His mom Kathy worked several jobs to support her family after he husband's death. At times she had to resort to shoplifting.

As a kid, Meek was shy. Meek's uncle was the pioneering DJ Grandmaster Nell, who was part of the late 1980s Philadelphia hip-hop scene. DJ Grandmaster Nell  influenced Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Meek started participating in rap battles under the name Meek Millz as a teenager. He formed the rap group The Bloodhoundz with three friends. When he was 18, Meek was arrested for illegally possessing a firearm when police stopped him walking to a corner store. The police beat Meek so badly that both of his eyes were swollen, his lips were swollen, and one of his braids was ripped out. The police claimed Meek chased them with the gun and tried to kill them. Meek was put on probation.

Career

Meek started releasing mixtapes in the mid-2000s. The first mixtape that got him attention was 2007's "Flamerz." That mixtape and its followup, "Flamerz 2 – Hottest in the City" got the attention of T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records and Warner Brothers Records. Before he could choose which label to sign with, he was arrested and spent seven months in jail. When he was released, he signed with Rick Ross' Warner Brothers Music label, Maybach Music Group. His debut studio album, "Dreams and Nightmares" was released in 2012 and peaked at number one on the U.S. Rap and Hip/Hop R&B charts as well as on the Billboard 200 chart. "Dreams Worth More Than Money," his second album, was released in 2015 and also hit number one on all three charts. His 2017 third album, "Wins and Losses" reached number 2 on the Rap and Hip Hop/R&B charts.

In 2018, Mill released the album "Championships" which debut atop the US Billboard 200. In October 2021, his fifth studio album, "Expensive Pain," debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 selling considerably less than his previous effort. He blamed Atlantic Records for the poor sales.

In October 2012, Meek announced the launch of his own label, Dream Chasers Records, named after his mixtape series.

In December 2017, he once again violated his parole. The judge did not give him another chance. He was ordered to stop working until his sentencing. In February 2016 Meek was sentenced to 90 d ays of house arrest.
