Big Sean Net Worth

It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected

Big Sean net worth and salary: Big Sean is an American rapper who has a net worth of $26 million. Ever since bursting onto the scene with his 2011 debut album, Big Sean has consistently been one of the most popular and successful artists in the music industry.

Early Life: Big Sean was born Sean Michael Leonard Anderson on March 25, 1988 in Santa Monica, California. He moved to Detroit, Michigan, when he was 3 months old and was raised by his mother, a teacher, and grandmother, who served in the Army in World War II. When Big Sean refers to the “west side” in his songs, he is actually referring to the west side of Detroit, not California. He graduated with a 3.7 GPA from Cass Technical High School.

Career: Big Sean started rapping in high school, showing off his skills as part of a weekly rap battle contest held by a local Detroit hip-hop station. In 2005, when he heard that Kanye West would be doing a radio interview at the station, he headed there to meet him and try to perform some freestyle for him. West was reluctant to hear him but gave in, and Kanye was reportedly impressed. He left West his demo tape, and in the meantime, Big Sean began to build a following around 2007 through the internet and a series of self-released mixtapes. In 2008, West signed Big Sean to his label, GOOD music, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings. On April 30, 2010, a collaboration between Big Sean and Drake, “Made”, leaked on the internet. Big Sean was disappointed over the leak as he felt the track had been unfinished musically and lyrically.

Big Sean’s debut studio album “Finally Famous” was released in June 2011. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts and spawned three hit singles for Big Sean: My Last, Marvin & Chardonnay, and Dance (Ass). The album was rich with guest appearances from John Legend to Kanye West to Wiz Khalifa. In 2017, it was certified platinum.

His second studio album “Hall of Fame” was released in August of 2013. It also debuted at No. 3, and received positive critical praise. It was certified gold in October 2017. His third album “Dark Sky Paradise” debuted in February 2015 at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, making it his first No. 1 album. Collaborators on the album included, once again, Kayne, Ty Dolla Sign, Ariana Grande, and others. Dark Sky Paradise was certified platinum in February 2016.
