T.I. Net Worth

What Is T.I.'s Net Worth?

T.I. is an American rapper, songwriter, actor, producer, record executive, entrepreneur, and author who has a net worth of $30 million. That is a combined net worth with his wife, singer and television personality Tameka "Tiny" Harris. The couple began dating in 2001 and married in 2010.

Born Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. and also known by his longtime nickname "Tip," T.I. emerged from Atlanta in the early 2000s and became one of the artists most closely associated with bringing trap music into the hip-hop mainstream. His 2003 album "Trap Muzik" established his signature sound, and subsequent releases including "Urban Legend," "King," "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," and "Paper Trail" transformed him into one of the biggest rappers of his generation. His hit singles include "What You Know," "Whatever You Like," "Live Your Life," "Dead and Gone," and "Bring Em Out."

T.I. has won three Grammy Awards and scored multiple #1 albums and singles. Outside of his own recordings, he founded Grand Hustle Records, the label that helped develop artists including Young Dro, B.o.B., Iggy Azalea, and Travis Scott. His acting credits include "ATL," "American Gangster," "Takers," "Get Hard," and the first two "Ant-Man" films. He has also starred in several reality television shows with Tiny and authored two novels.

T.I. released "Kill the King" in 2026, presenting the project as his final studio album. Later that year, he entered into a publishing administration agreement with Reservoir covering his extensive songwriting catalog and future compositions. T.I. and Tiny have also spent years involved in a major intellectual-property battle with toy manufacturer MGA Entertainment over dolls they claimed copied the distinctive appearance of OMG Girlz. A 2024 jury originally awarded their side $71.5 million, but the punitive portion was ultimately eliminated. Following a fourth jury trial in July 2026, the plaintiffs' recovery stood at $17.9 million in compensatory damages.

Early Life

Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. was born on September 25, 1980, and was raised in Atlanta's Center Hill neighborhood, primarily by his grandparents. His father, Clifford "Buddy" Harris Sr., lived in New York, and T.I. visited him regularly while growing up. He began rapping when he was around eight years old. His childhood nickname was "Tip," reportedly in honor of his paternal great-grandfather, and he later shortened it to T.I. professionally to avoid confusion with fellow Arista Records artist Q-Tip.

As a teenager, Harris became involved in drug dealing and was arrested several times. Those experiences later became a major source of material for his music. The nickname "Rubber Band Man," which eventually became the title of one of his breakthrough singles, referred to the rubber bands associated with bundles of cash.

Early Recording Career

T.I. signed his first major-label deal with LaFace Records, an Arista subsidiary, in the late 1990s. He released his debut studio album, "I'm Serious," in 2001. Although the album included production and appearances from established artists, it failed to become a major commercial success, and T.I. was subsequently released from his deal.

Rather than ending his career, the setback pushed Harris toward greater independence. He released mixtapes, continued building an audience in Atlanta, and established Grand Hustle Records. In 2003, he received wider attention through his appearance on Bone Crusher's single "Never Scared." Later that year, he released the album that would permanently change his career.

"Trap Muzik" and the Rise of Trap

"Trap Muzik" was released in August 2003 and included "24's," "Be Easy," "Rubber Band Man," and "Let's Get Away." The album was both a commercial breakthrough and an important release in the development of trap music. T.I., along with Atlanta contemporaries such as Gucci Mane and Jeezy, became closely associated with the genre as its influence spread far beyond the Southern rap scene.

He followed "Trap Muzik" with "Urban Legend" in 2004. Its singles included "Bring Em Out" and "U Don't Know Me." Around the same period, T.I. and Lil Wayne appeared on Destiny's Child's hit single "Soldier."

"King" and Movie Stardom

T.I.'s fourth studio album, "King," was released in 2006 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. Its biggest single, "What You Know," became one of his signature songs and won a Grammy Award. That same year, he made a major transition into acting by starring as Rashad in "ATL," a coming-of-age drama set in Atlanta. The movie became a cult favorite and established T.I. as a viable screen actor rather than a musician simply making cameo appearances.

He followed "King" with 2007's "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," which also debuted at #1.

"Paper Trail" and Commercial Peak

Despite serious legal problems unfolding around him, T.I. reached the commercial peak of his recording career with 2008's "Paper Trail." The album produced "Whatever You Like," which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. T.I. then replaced himself at the top of the chart with "Live Your Life," featuring Rihanna.

For a period, T.I. occupied both the #1 and #2 positions on the Hot 100. "Paper Trail" also produced "Dead and Gone," featuring Justin Timberlake, and became one of the biggest-selling albums of his career. Later albums included "No Mercy," "Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head," "Paperwork," "Dime Trap," and "The L.I.B.R.A."

"Blurred Lines" and Collaborations

T.I. remained a highly sought-after collaborator even when he was no longer releasing albums at the same pace as during his mid-2000s peak. In 2013, he joined Pharrell Williams on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." The song became an enormous worldwide hit.

T.I.'s decade-long relationship with Atlantic Records ended in 2013, after which he signed with Columbia Records. "Paperwork" arrived in 2014, followed by later independent projects.

Grand Hustle Records and Business Ventures

Grand Hustle Records became one of T.I.'s most important business ventures. Over the years, the imprint worked with artists including Young Dro, B.o.B., Iggy Azalea and, early in his career, Travis Scott. T.I. has also pursued ventures involving clothing, restaurants, nightlife, real estate, and other investments.

His business career has sometimes been as volatile as his music career, but the combination of record sales, touring, publishing, film and television work, and entrepreneurial activity has provided several different sources of income.

Acting Career

Following "ATL," T.I. continued building an extensive film résumé. He appeared alongside Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's 2007 crime drama "American Gangster." He later starred in "Takers," "Identity Thief," "Get Hard," "Sleepless," and other films.

In 2015, he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dave in "Ant-Man," starring alongside Paul Rudd. He returned for the 2018 sequel, "Ant-Man and the Wasp."

T.I. has also worked extensively on television. His shows have included "T.I.'s Road to Redemption," "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle," "T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle," and the business competition series "The Grand Hustle." He is also the author of the novels "Power & Beauty" and "Trouble & Triumph."

"Kill the King" and Publishing Catalog

After spending several years discussing retirement from recording and eventually from live performance, T.I. released "Kill the King" in June 2026 and promoted it as his final studio album. The project extended a recording career that had begun more than 25 years earlier and included some of the most commercially successful rap records of the 2000s.

In July 2026, Reservoir announced a publishing agreement with T.I. covering his full songwriting catalog as well as future compositions. The agreement gave Reservoir responsibility for administering and promoting a catalog that includes T.I.'s own hits and numerous collaborations. Music publishing can remain valuable long after an artist stops releasing new albums because compositions continue generating royalties through streaming, radio, television, film, advertising, public performances, and licensing.

$17.9 Million OMG Girlz Lawsuit Award

In 2009, T.I. and Tiny helped create the teen pop and R&B group OMG Girlz. The group's best-known lineup featured Tiny's daughter Zonnique Pullins, along with Bahja Rodriguez and Breaunna Womack. OMG Girlz became recognizable for brightly colored hairstyles, coordinated clothing, and a distinctive visual aesthetic.

Years later, T.I. and Tiny became convinced that toy manufacturer MGA Entertainment had used elements of that image in its L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. fashion dolls. MGA is controlled by Bratz creator Isaac Larian. The Harrises and their companies accused MGA of infringing OMG Girlz's trade dress and exploiting the group's name, image, and likeness.

via U.S. District Court

The case became unusually complicated and ultimately required four trials. The first trial, held in early 2023, ended in a mistrial after jurors heard an argument involving "cultural appropriation" that the judge had previously barred. At the second trial later in 2023, MGA prevailed. The jury concluded that the company had not infringed OMG Girlz's rights, and MGA was also initially awarded millions of dollars in legal fees.

The case changed again after a separate U.S. Supreme Court decision involving Jack Daniel's and a dog toy narrowed the free-speech protection available to companies accused of trademark infringement when a mark is being used commercially as a source identifier. That development allowed T.I. and Tiny's side to obtain another trial.

At the third trial in September 2024, the outcome swung dramatically in their favor. Jurors concluded that seven MGA dolls infringed the OMG Girlz's trade dress. The jury awarded $17.9 million in compensatory damages, based on profits connected to those dolls, plus $53.6 million in punitive damages. The headline verdict therefore totaled approximately $71.5 million.

That did not become the final recovery. In July 2025, U.S. District Judge James Selna concluded that the evidence did not satisfy the legal standard necessary to support the punitive damages and reduced the $53.6 million punitive award to $1. T.I. and Tiny declined to accept the reduced punitive amount, triggering a fourth trial devoted specifically to whether punitive damages were appropriate.

That fourth trial ended in July 2026. Jurors found MGA had not acted with the malice required for a punitive award and awarded $0 in punitive damages. As a result, the plaintiffs' recovery from the case stands at the original $17.9 million compensatory award, rather than the $71.5 million figure widely reported following the 2024 verdict.

Tax Issues

T.I. and Tiny have faced several federal tax liens over the years. In 2012, the couple was hit with a lien for $1,397,283.47. A second lien connected to later taxes totaled $3,173,476.39.

By 2015, reports indicated that the IRS was seeking approximately $4.5 million from the couple. Subsequent reports placed their combined federal tax debt above $6 million. In March 2018, the couple reportedly made a $1 million payment toward the debt. Those figures represent historical liens and reported balances and do not necessarily represent what T.I. and Tiny currently owe the IRS.

Federal Weapons Case and Other Legal Issues

Legal problems repeatedly interrupted T.I.'s career during his rise to fame. In October 2007, federal authorities arrested him on weapons charges shortly before he was scheduled to perform at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Prosecutors alleged that his bodyguard had attempted to purchase firearms on his behalf because T.I., as a convicted felon, could not legally buy them himself.

T.I. ultimately pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges. His sentence included roughly a year in federal prison, extensive community service, home confinement, and probation.

In September 2010, T.I. and Tiny were arrested after a traffic stop in Los Angeles. Authorities reported finding ecstasy. The incident led federal authorities to determine that T.I. had violated his probation, and in October 2010, he was sentenced to an additional 11 months in federal prison. The underlying California drug charges were later dropped.

Cryptocurrency Lawsuit and SEC Settlement

In 2017, T.I. became associated with a cryptocurrency project called FLiK Token. Investors later alleged that misleading statements had been made about the token and its prospects. The token initially traded for only a few cents, and promotional materials allegedly suggested its value could eventually rise dramatically. Instead, the value collapsed.

Investors sued both the project's founder and T.I. In 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced a settlement with T.I. over his promotion of FLiK tokens. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, T.I. agreed to pay a $75,000 civil penalty and agreed not to participate in offerings or sales of digital-asset securities for at least five years.

T.I. maintained that he had attempted to support an entrepreneur, had not profited from the venture, and distanced himself from the project after concluding that the promised platform had not been developed.

Jewelry Lawsuit

In 2016, Georgia jewelry company Aydin & Co. sued T.I. over allegedly unpaid jewelry bills. The company claimed it had provided T.I. with pieces including an 18.5-karat white-gold bracelet, a ring, and a yellow-gold rosary. According to the lawsuit, T.I. paid $20,000 toward a $64,000 bill for those items.

Aydin further alleged that T.I. owed hundreds of thousands of dollars for other jewelry and sought a total of $755,000. The dispute was settled out of court in September 2018.

Personal Life

T.I. and Tiny began dating in 2001 and married on July 30, 2010, in Miami Beach. They have three children together: sons King and Major and daughter Heiress. T.I. also has children from previous relationships, while Tiny has a daughter, Zonnique, from a previous relationship.

Tiny filed for divorce in December 2016, but the divorce was never finalized, and the couple eventually reconciled.

T.I. has also generated controversy through public comments about his family and politics. In 2015, he drew criticism after making comments suggesting that he did not believe a woman should be president of the United States. He quickly apologized. In 2019, T.I. faced another backlash after saying during a podcast interview that he had accompanied his teenage daughter Deyjah to gynecological appointments and asked doctors about her virginity. Medical experts and commentators strongly criticized the remarks, and Deyjah later discussed how the episode affected their relationship.

Atlanta Mansion

In January 2020, T.I. and Tiny paid $3.27 million for a 14,000-square-foot mansion in Atlanta, Georgia. The property is located within a private gated community along the Chattahoochee River. Amenities include a large swimming pool, spa, gym, outdoor fireplace, and extensive entertaining space.
