What is Meek Mill’s net worth? Singer asks fans to invest $5million in next business moves

According to figures from Celebrity Net Worth, Meek Mill’s fortune is estimated at around $20 million. A report from AfroTech in August 2025 revealed that the rapper had taken full control of his independent music catalog after parting ways with previous label deals. This move gave him 100 percent ownership of his releases. Nonetheless, Meek Mill continued to express concerns about streaming’s limitations, telling fans in late 2023 that it was “impossible to make money” under current payout structures, as noted by HipHopDX.

His portfolio has expanded beyond music. He invested in areas ranging from streetwear to tech, with one of his biggest successes being Lids, the sports retailer. A reported $200,000 stake grew into an $8 million return, reportedly through his partnership with billionaire Michael Rubin. In 2022, he joined Rubin, JAY-Z, and Maverick Carter in acquiring the century-old brand via Fanatics, giving him another position in the sports merchandise industry.

Despite his estimated net worth of $20 million, Meek Mill still made headlines when he asked fans to contribute $5 million toward his upcoming ventures.

Meek Mill shared funding struggles, asked for $5M on social media:

According to HotNewHipHop, Meek Mill sought financial backing for a string of projects, including an album, a book, and a short film.

The rapper took to X to make his case and criticized the record industry:

"I need 5m in funding for book.. album and short film, these label deals not looking fair at all... they ruined the game basically ... but I can reboot the whole thing! Why I can't get the same attention as a tech investment in rap wthelly."

He later shared a clip from DeDe In The Morning that explored the influence of African American culture in the United States. In his caption, he wrote:

"Why as music artist that's independent we not dealing with banks when everything surround us in music business lead us back to the banks anyway! We have total control let's roll!!!!! Are we allowed to get funding past a record label in America? Sh*t seems pretty hard lol."

Meek Mill has been candid about navigating independence since parting ways with Roc Nation.

Rapper Meek Mill claimed AI venture could transform lives:

This year, Meek Mill (Robert Rihmeek Williams) unveiled his latest idea: an AI project he believed could be groundbreaking. People of Color in Tech reported on September 3, 2025, that the rapper had told fans on X:

“Working on a ai tool that can change the world lol.”

The announcement followed weeks of hints. On August 25, he had written:

“I can’t wait to get a chance to show the world how smart I really am!”

Then, on September 2, he added:

“I have some genius tech guy that’s building a ai tool that everyone will be able to use! I have to get one off first you will see!”

No details about the tool’s purpose were shared, but the comments placed him among a wave of artists exploring AI.

Still, Meek’s use of X was not solely about promotion. As Complex pointed out in July 2025, the platform had been vital for his career, even serving as the way Rick Ross first discovered him during a tour stop in Philadelphia.

“I’m from the corners of North Philadelphia. If I can speak to people in Africa, China, and Asia, I don’t think I’m ever going to stop using Twitter.” shared Meek.

But the same platform often drew criticism. Misunderstood posts turned into memes, fueling online drama. Meek acknowledged the issue:

“Sometimes I’ll just [post] a bar to a rap, and they be like, ‘Meek slow, what is he talking about?’ I’m not here to explain to the internet what I was talking about. When we talking rap, we don’t speak in English text. We got our own languages. We’re talking how we want.”

Meek Mill highlighted challenges artists face in the digital music era:

According to Complex, Meek Mill shared his thoughts on the evolution of hip-hop distribution, reflecting on the journey from CDs and mixtape sites to today’s streaming platforms. The rapper argued that the issues facing the genre had less to do with the music itself and more to do with how it was reaching listeners. Taking to X, he wrote:

“Rap game not failing the system of the way we intake music is failing ... I been around since hard copies ... dat piff... world star to dsp's I survived all those eras so I can see when it's a disservice!”

Meek Mill said his perspective stems from experience, having seen hip-hop’s many phases, from the era of physical copies and sites like DatPiff and WorldStarHipHop to the rise of digital streaming services. The post outlined the ongoing challenges artists face in an industry that has changed significantly over the past few decades.

Since his mixtape days in the mid-2000s and his breakout with Dreams & Nightmares in the early 2010s, Meek has been a consistent figure in hip-hop, adapting to every shift in how fans consume music.
