If you’re a big music fan, you’ve certainly heard your fair share of Babyface tracks over the years. The multi-talented artist , who celebrated his 65th birthday back in April, has released more than two dozen chart-topping R&B classics over the course of his historic career, resulting in a staggering 13 Grammy Award wins. Even with all his success, Babyface’s massive net worth may be quite shocking to some listeners, since many artists from his generation have struggled to flip their musical highs into prudent financial investments . According to Celebrity Net Worth , Babyface touts a staggering nest egg of over $200 million, earned mostly through music royalties, producer credits and a few high-priced real estate ventures.

That same stock is worth $152, as of this writing, which means his $4.5 million would’ve nearly doubled to $8.6 million. If Roddy had made a similar move with Spotify, he would’ve lost money instead. But unlike Spotify, streaming isn’t Apple’s only business (iPhone, AppleTV+, Macbook, etc.), and this is where common sense analysis (a.k.a. Good Taste) is useful. You don’t have to be an...
Is Yo Gotti trying to put more artists on game? Following the 64th annual Grammy Awards, it appears rapper Yo Gotti was left with some food for thought. The “Rake It Up” rapper took to Instagram revealing he wants to help other artists get the recognition they deserve, through the expansion of Collective Music Group (CMG).
