Tyga’s net worth was changing throughout his career, and the current numbers attest the worth of $2 to 3 million (the amount differs in several sources).
Tyga accumulated the net worth through singing, acting, and entrepreneurship. He has released several albums, starred in the reality-show and films, won a few music awards and owned a clothing line.
Most of his wealth came through the sales of his music, as well as concert tickets to his tours. After all, some of his songs have achieved Gold and Platinum certifications (albeit mostly his collabs with other stars).
However, when compared to other wealthy American rappers, one starts to wonder why Tyga is not nearly as rich as the rest of them. If you have been following the artist closely, you might have noticed that his net worth has dropped significantly in the last few years.

Apart from paying penalties and lawyers, he also has expensive possessions. Thus, in September 2017 it was reported that he was driving a rare Bugatti Veyron of a cost around $2.3 million. He was also noticed purchasing an 18-karat grill with 1,400 diamonds for $45,000 in June 2016.
Tyga also had several tax issues. Firstly, Internal Revenue Service hit the rapper with a $120,000 unpaid tax bill. And the following year, the state of California issued him a bill for $19,000 for unpaid taxes.

When the rapper was in a relationship with Kylie Jenner, it is known that he presented Kylie a Mercedes-Benz Maybach and an exclusive trip to Turks and Caicos on her 19th birthday.
According to the latest information, the rap artist doesn’t own any property. There have been news of him buying houses left and right a few years ago, but Tyga hasn't bought a house in ages. Instead, he prefers renting. For instance, his last known place cost him $46,500 per month, as it was a mansion in Bel-Air, California that covered 12,8000 square feet.
The rapper Tyga is a controversial personality. On the one hand, he is a successful artist, whose work is appreciated, but on the other side, he faced several legal issues. Nevertheless, he is widely popular around the world and can brag with impressive net worth.
