Machine Gun Kelly Bio – 2018 Update

Born in Houston, Texas, Machine Gun Kelly has been churning out tracks ever since his teens. Signing to Interscope and Bad Boy Records in 2011, he released his debut album, Lace Up in 2012 to critical acclaim. A successful breakthrough, it charted among the top five on the Billboard 200. Some of the hits that it gave rise to include, Invincible (Feat. Ester Dean), and Wild Boy (Remix). From there, the rapper eventually issued his second album titled, General Admission, in the fall of 2015. A relative success, though not as much as its predecessor, it gave rise to the gold single, Till I Die.

Most recently, Machine Gun Kelly released his third studio album, Bloom on May 12, 2017. A step up from his previous endeavor, it has since sold over 500,000 copies across the country, earning it gold status in the US.

So let’s take a look through his life, see how he made his money.

Machine Gun Kelly – MGK Net Worth 2018 – $1.2 Million

How Did Machine Gun Kelly – MGK Make His Money & Wealth?

That $1.2 million figure is the only estimate I can find, but I also find it very hard to believe. I have taken a close look at where he stands to make money, and short of having the worst contracts in the world MGK is more likely to be worth in the tens of millions. Now, I also have it on record that he is an Anarchist, politically, meaning that he is against any form of government. Take from that statement whatever you want.

Machine Gun Kelly was born Richard Colson Baker in Houston Texas. His parents were missionaries, so the young MGK spent much of his early life traveling. Is a quirk of narrative, his mother left the family and he moved into his Aunt’s house with his father. His father suffered from depression, due to the difficulty finding work, and he soon left for Kuwait, presumably for missionary work. He returned eventually and took MGK to Kuwait as well, but the par were soon back in the States.

MGK’s life with his father was strained. He was in and out of school, but found he had a talent for rap. He began making music with a passion, and convinced a local clothing store owner to manage him. His appearance at a number of clubs earned him a fanbase, and a nickname, due to his fast paced style. He released his first mic tape, Stamp of Approval, in 2006, but it would be a number of years before he got on a label.

He released his first single in 2010, titled Alice in Wonderland, which brought him wider recognition, and a number of local awards. It wasn’t until the following year, after performing at SXSW in Austin Texas that he caught the attention of a producer. Sean Combs, better known as P Diddy(and a while lot of other pseudonyms), offered him a recording contract with Bad Boy Records.

A few sporadic releases followed, but MGK didn’t really take off until late 2012, and the release of his debut record Lace Up. It would become something of a slogan for the artist. It debuted at number 4 in the charts, and sales were steady. He struck a chord with the wrestling crowd, when in 2012’s Wrestlemania his second single, Invincible, was used to highlight John Cena during his main event performance. Considering the considerable fanbase that Cena has among certain demographics it is no surprise that the single sold well. It wold not be the first time MGK affiliated himself with the WWE, and in fact his connection to the company is a strong strut of his personal fortune.

Numerous tours and subsequent releases helped shape MGK into the wealthy artist he is today. The most interesting aspect of his career is the relative lack of verse selling. In the current hip hop scene many up and comers sell verse to other artists, become featured on as a method of getting paid and increasing their profile. MGK has so far only been a featured artist on three tracks, so that is clearly not a money spinner for him.

In something of a rarity, MGK has branched out into acting. He has appeared in a number of films, including the not terrible sequel to SLC Punk. His venture into the world of film has continues, and he will be appearing in the upcoming Sci-Fi thriller Captive State, alongside the wonderful John Goodman.

When we throw in the fact that his last album was released in February to positive reviews, and his music videos are pulling in the views on YouTube, not to mention product endorsement and advertising through his various social media accounts, it makes you understand my confusion over the $1.2 million listed net worth. I may be skeptical, but I have to list what is stated I’m afraid. Machine Gun Kelly is doing very well for himself, what ever the actually figure is.
