What is YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Net Worth?

The net worth of YoungBoy Never Broke Again, often referred to as NBA YoungBoy, stands at $10 million. His rise to fame began between 2015 and 2017 with the release of six independent mixtapes. Afterward, his popularity soared with the hit single “Outside Today” from his debut album “Until Death Call My Name.” In 2019, he gained even more recognition with the top-ten single “Bandit” and the successful album “Al YoungBoy 2.”

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1999, YoungBoy Never Broke Again is known as Kentrell DeSean Gaulden. He was primarily raised by his maternal grandmother due to his father’s lengthy prison sentence of 55 years. As a young child, Gaulden suffered a neck injury while wrestling, resulting in him wearing a head brace, which left scars on his forehead. After dropping out of high school as a teenager, he faced arrest for robbery and was placed in a juvenile detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana, where he began writing music. Upon his release, his grandmother had already passed away, leading him to move in with his friend and fellow rapper NBA 3Three. They engaged in criminal activities to fund their studio sessions.

Gaulden launched his career in 2015 with his first mixtape, “Life Before Fame,” followed by several others, including “Mind of a Menace,” “Before I Go,” and “38 Baby,” which featured artists like Stroke Tha Don and Boosie Badazz. He gained notoriety for a public feud with rapper Scotty Cain, marked by threats exchanged through music. Gaulden’s profile rose further after his arrest in Austin, Texas, on charges of attempted first-degree murder. While incarcerated in East Baton Rouge Parish, he re-released two previous mixtapes.

“Al YoungBoy,” “Until Death Call My Name,” and More Mixtapes

In August 2017, after the release of a high-profile music video for his song “41,” Gaulden dropped a new mixtape titled “Al YoungBoy.” This mixtape became his most successful release to date, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and featuring the singles “Untouchable” and “No Smoke.” In 2018, he achieved even greater commercial success with the single “Outside Today,” which reached number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. Shortly after, he released his debut studio album, “Until Death Call My Name,” which peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200.

Additionally, in 2018, Gaulden came out with a mixtape named “Master the Day of Judgement.” During the summer of that year, he released a series of four EPs, each encompassing four tracks. He then followed up with two more mixtapes, “Decided” and “Realer.” By January 2019, Gaulden was recognized as one of YouTube’s top music artists due to his consistent and exclusive content on the platform.

Further Hit Singles and Albums

After a 14-month spell under house arrest during which he couldn’t record, Gaulden made a comeback in October 2019 with the single “Bandit,” featuring rapper Juice Wrld. This song reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Gaulden’s highest-charting single to date.

To this point, he had just released his mixtape “Al YoungBoy 2,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album achieved around 144 million on-demand audio streams within its first week, marking one of the year’s most significant streaming debuts.

Following the success of “Al YoungBoy 2,” Gaulden put out another successful mixtape titled “Still Flexin, Still Steppin.” In April 2020, he introduced the mixtape “38 Baby 2,” which made history by debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 as his second album. Later that year, he launched another chart-topping album, “Top,” which included popular Hot 100 singles such as “Kacey Talk,” “All In,” and “My Window.” He then shared the mixtape “Until I Return,” available exclusively on YouTube before being released on various streaming platforms.

In 2021, Gaulden released “Sincerely, Kentrell,” followed by “The Last Slimeto” in 2022, and then in 2023, he dropped three projects: “I Rest My Case,” “Don’t Try This At Home,” and “Richest Opp.”

Criminal Activity

Throughout his professional career and even before it, Gaulden has been notably engaged in criminal activities. One incident occurred in November 2016 when he was arrested in Austin, Texas, for leaping from a vehicle and firing at a group of pedestrians. As a result, he faced two counts of attempted first-degree murder. Ultimately, he pled guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault with a firearm and received a 10-year prison sentence, accompanied by three years of active probation, the former of which was later suspended. In early 2018, he was detained again for accusations of assault, kidnapping, and weapons violations, though he was released shortly after on bail.

In 2019, while on probation, Gaulden retaliated after being shot at by an individual in a black Cadillac Escalade. Although the shooting charges were dismissed, he was found to have violated his probation by associating with Trulondrick Norman and Ben Fields, resulting in a 90-day jail sentence and a 14-month performance ban while under house arrest. More legal troubles ensued in September 2020 when he was one of 16 individuals arrested in Baton Rouge on charges related to drug manufacturing and distribution, as well as possession of stolen firearms. The following year, Gaulden was taken into custody again due to a federal warrant, which he attempted to evade by fleeing on foot when federal agents sought to stop his vehicle. However, in July 2022, he was acquitted of the federal firearms charges. In March 2023, he experienced a lifting of restrictions from his house arrest, allowing him to host more than three visitors without curfews.

Personal Life

Gaulden is a father to eleven children with nine different women; two of his sons, Kacey and Kayden, made an appearance in the music video for his single “Kacey Talk.” In January 2023, he tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes, who is also the mother of two of his children.

Gaulden has expressed his desire to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints once his ankle monitor is taken off.

Real Estate

After relocating to Utah, YoungBoy settled into a $5.2 million residence in Salt Lake City. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether he purchased the home or rented it from the new owner. It was later revealed that he indeed bought the house, possibly after initially renting it. The details surrounding the purchase price were not disclosed, but the transaction took place in 2022. By March 2024, he listed the property for sale at $5.9 million. Here is a video tour:
