Early Life and Career Beginnings

On July 4, 1995, Austin Richard Post was born in Syracuse, New York. He was raised by his father and stepmother, who moved the family to Grapevine, Texas, following his father’s hiring as the Dallas Cowboys’ concessions manager. Growing up, his father, a former DJ, exposed him to a variety of music genres. In Texas, Post picked up the guitar and played in a heavy metal band. At around 14 or 15, he adopted the stage name “Post Malone,” combining his last name with “Malone,” a name he found using an online rap name generator. At age 16, he created his first mixtape titled “Young and After Them Riches.” After completing high school, he briefly attended Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas, before leaving to pursue a career in music and relocating to Los Angeles with a friend, Jason Probst.

In Los Angeles, Post, Probst, and other artists and producers formed the group BLCKVRD and collaborated on music while some members resided together in the San Fernando Valley. This environment led Post to meet producer Rex Kudo, who worked on several of his tracks, including “White Iverson.” The song was uploaded to Post’s SoundCloud account in February 2015, followed by a music video release in July 2015.

Achieving Success

“White Iverson” received acclaim from various artists, including Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa, and amassed one million views within a month of its release. Consequently, Post began to catch the eyes of record labels, signing with Republic Records in August 2015. He then collaborated with renowned rappers like Kanye West, whom he encountered while performing at Kylie Jenner’s 18^th birthday party, working together on the track “Fade” from Kanye’s album “The Life of Pablo.”

Post’s initial mixtape following his record deal, titled “August 26,” was released in May 2016 and was shortly succeeded by his debut studio album, “Stoney,” which came out in December.

The RIAA certified the album as double platinum in October 2017. Following that, in September 2017, Post released his second album’s first single, “Rockstar,” which features 21 Savage. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, maintaining its position for eight weeks in a row. The second single, “Psycho,” debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 after its February 2018 release, featuring Ty Dolla Sign. In April 2018, Post released his second studio album, “Beerbongs & Bentleys,” which set a first-day streaming record on Spotify with an impressive 78.7 million global streams. This album earned Post four Grammy Award nominations. His third studio album, “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in September 2019. In 2022, he released the album “Twelve Carat Toothache,” followed by “The Diamond Collection” in 2023, which is a nine-song compilation featuring his eight RIAA Diamond-certified singles and the new single “Chemical.” He announced that his fifth studio album, titled “Austin,” was released in July 2023.

In August 2018, Post broke a 34-year-long record set by Michael Jackson for the most weeks on the Billboard Top R&B and Hip-Hop Albums chart. His album “Stoney” reached 77^th week, surpassing Jackson’s “Thriller,” which held the previous record of 76 weeks. Post has engaged in various musical projects, collaborating with numerous artists. Notable collaborations include the track “Sunflower” with Swae Lee for the soundtrack of the 2018 film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, the July 2019 track “Goodbyes” featuring Young Thug, and 2023’s “What You Say” with YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

As the main songwriter for his work, Post retains a larger share of his royalties compared to many artists. He also earns approximately $500,000 per concert in revenue. His music festival, Posty Fest, launched in 2018, sold out before announcing its lineup. Moreover, Post has sponsorship agreements with companies such as HyperX, True Religion, and Bud Light. His collaboration with Bud Light has been particularly significant; Post has not only performed at various Bud Light events, including the Bud Light: Dive Bar concerts, but they also launched a limited-time fashion collection together, which went on sale in August 2019.

Earnings

Between June 2019 and June 2020, Post Malone’s earnings reached $60 million from his various activities. This sum positioned him among the highest-paid rappers globally. A substantial portion of his income stemmed from touring, with his 2019 and 2020 tours grossing $1.3 million per city. He has also accrued millions through endorsements, including a memorable Super Bowl advertisement with Bud Light Seltzer.

Maison No. 9

In June 2020, a line of rosé named Maison No. 9, was launched by Post. Within just 48 hours, the line sold 50,000 units. Differentiating himself from many celebrities in the liquor industry, Malone took an active role in this project from the start. He designed the unique glass topper present in every bottle, worked alongside winemaker Alexis Cornu to create the rosé’s blend, and even conceptualized the name, referencing the nine of swords tarot card, a symbol of anxiety. Thus, Maison No. 9 serves as a homage to how wine has become a vital remedy for Malone’s personal anxieties:

“As soon as I got old enough, I tried wine, and I was like, This is helpful to me; it tastes good, and it makes me feel happy.“

Malone also shared his direct aspirations regarding the wine industry:

“I’ve loved wine for a minute now. And Dre [London] and I were talking and we said, Why not make our own deal and see how it goes? We flew to Provence [France] and picked the grapes and made the blend and everything. And I said, This is something that I really, really like. I’m so blessed and happy that we’re crushing it the way that we are. We’re trying to make an empire so that we can drink for free and our kids can eat forever.“

Prior to the official rosé launch, fans of Post Malone may have had an early glimpse at Maison No. 9. Three weeks ahead of the rosé’s debut, Malone performed a live-streamed, 80-minute set featuring Nirvana covers, raising funds for the UN Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. For observant viewers, bottles of Maison No. 9 were displayed in the background, and similar to the upcoming launch, the concert was a resounding success, generating around $1 million for the fund.

Envy Gaming

Post became a co-owner and invested in Envy Gaming in August 2020. Subsequently, in April 2023, Malone designed the façade of a Raising Canes restaurant located in Midvale, Utah.

Personal Life and Controversies

In a three-year relationship with Ashlen Diaz, Post’s romance concluded in November 2018. By June 2022, he announced his engagement and revealed that they share a daughter.

Currently residing in Los Angeles, California, he also owns a 13,000-square-foot home in northern Utah worth $3 million. Previously, his residence in San Fernando Valley, California, experienced a robbery on September 1, 2018.

He is recognized for his distinctive personal style, which notably includes an extensive collection of facial tattoos. Among his tattoos, he sports a line of barbed wire across his forehead, the phrase “Stay Away” above his right eyebrow, “always” and “tired” beneath both eyes, and “STONEY” inked below his chin.

One notable controversy involving Post centers around allegations made by various publications and social media users labeling him a “culture vulture.” This accusation suggests he is “appropriating” African-American culture. In an intoxicated outburst in January 2018, Post lashed out against those making such claims. Days later, in an interview with GQ, he remarked, “there’s a struggle being a white rapper.” Additionally, he faced backlash for comments made in an interview with the Polish media outlet NewOnce, where he asserted that modern hip-hop lacks “people talking about real shit” and advised, “if you’re looking to think about life, don’t listen to hip-hop.” Critics of his statements included fellow rappers Lil B and Vince Staples, alongside widespread criticism on social media.
