Kendrick Lamar stands tall above his peers, this man is an artist in every sense with a fierce loyalty to his Compton roots and his African-American roots.

In 2012 he released his sophomore album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and was an instant hit but over the years he has established himself at the forefront of hip hop and the forefront of leading examples within the hip hop community. This led to him winning the 2016 Grammy for best Hip Hop album and a performance that will resonate for years.

So what about Kendrick Lamar’s net worth? Well, it’s hard to track because in 2016 his popularity and worth has been steadily rising, endorsements, album sales, live performances and shrewd spending have led his net worth to rise from around $9million in 2014, to the now estimated net worth of $33million!

Kendrick Lamar net worth, estimated $33million in 2016.

Kendrick has been careful with his money, he stays away from pushing too much bling although he collaborates with Reebok and his latest design for the Red and Blue series shows a sewn seam that represents a message of unity which transcends the Bloods and the Crips.

He purchased a very modest home, instead of a mansion, just outside of L.A for $523,500 but has spent far more at home in Compton where he has donated hundreds of thousands to after school and music programs. This led to him being given the key to Compton and he has been recognised as a Positive Icon by the State of California.

Lamar’s 2016 album To Pimp a Butterfly is a masterwork that moved Lamar beyond icon-worshipping and into pushing musical stars, earning status as a true artist and poet.

This is a young many who stands with dignity and has earned every penny of his $33million net worth.
