Drake is a multi-millionaire rapper who has carved a name for himself in the music industry. However, his interests go beyond recording and his business ventures proved to be as successful as his music career.

Born Aubrey Drake Graham, Drake has an estimated net worth of $150 million, per Forbes. In terms of cash king among rappers, Jay-Z reigns at the top with $1 billion but Dr. Dre, Diddy, Kanye and Drake are not far behind. In fact, the Canada-born rapper increased his net worth by as much as 50 percent in just a span of one year.

The “In My Feelings” singer’s wealth comes from different sources such as ticket sales, album tours and collaborations with XS Nightclub in Las Vegas and Jordan brand. Moreover, Drake started October’s Very Own (OVO) which was initially an online community but now has grown into a clothing line, radio program and a record label.

Since becoming an ambassador of the Toronto Raptors in 2013, the 33-year-old rapper has partnered with the club to rebrand the team’s image. His team is responsible for the “We The North” campaign which is being used today. OVO also helps the grassroots program of the community by building courts. Recently, the Raptors’ practice facility was named OVO Athletic Centre.

The Source says that the “God’s Plan” rapper has reached a milestone no other artists have done before: top selling solo male artists in the U.S. This is a pretty amazing feat considering all the other artists that came before him such as Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. This is a testament of Drake’s talent and artistic inclinations. Almost every single he releases becomes a hit. He also maintains a healthy relationship with other rappers and musicians which makes collaborations easy for him.

Like all multi-million artists, Drake likes to drive fancy cars. Included in his fleet are a Bentley Continental GTC W12, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir, McLaren 675LT, 62S Maybach Landaulet and Rolls-Royce Phantom, among others, Driving reports.

Aubrey Graham also likes to flex when it comes to real estate. He owns three different ranches in Hidden Hills, which have a combined size equal to that of five football fields. According to Business Insider, the total cost of the three ranches is at least $13 million.

The success and wealth are not stopping Aubrey Drake Graham from producing quality work. He released two songs this year, “Omertà” and “Money in the Grave”, after the Toronto Raptors won the NBA title. If these songs go on to become worldwide hits, it will be another proof that Drake stays winning on and off the court.
