How did Wale Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on September 21, 1984, in Washington, D.C., Wale grew up in Maryland, where he went to developed a fondness for the hip-hop genre.

In 2003, he released his first recorded track, Rhyme of the Century. With a little bit of luck, it eventually received airtime on the local radio. Following that, he was signed to a local music label, Studio 43.
Several years later, he released his major label debut, Attention Deficit. Well received by critics, it gave rise to three singles, Pretty Girls, Chillin, and World Tour. In the US, the album peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200. Ultimately, it was from this point onwards that his popularity began to soar.
His next album, Ambition was released in 2011. A commercial success, it not only reached number two on the US Billboard 200 music chart, but it had also topped the Top R&B Albums music chart. Responsible for his platinum single Lotus Flower Bomb (Feat. Miguel), it later received gold accreditation from the RIAA.
Since then, the rapper’s released three additional albums, two of which (i.e. The Gifted and The Album About Nothing were chart-toppers in the US. Some highlights from these titles include Bad (Feat. Rihanna), and The Body (Feat. Jeremih).
On top of his studio albums, Wale has dropped several mixtapes, most of which were made available for streaming online. Considering everything, it only makes sense that a good portion of his income comes from the said releases.
