I like to call NF the silent assassin of the rap game.
All of his moves are done behind closed doors and you really don’t hear a single thing
about him in the press, positive or negative until he releases a song.
He never comes with antics and he doesn’t post on his socials until it’s time for
an album to drop.
But when he drops, he really drops.
His most recent album landed at #1 on the charts beating out Chance The Rapper’s long
awaited debut album!
And with all of the success and money coming in from his sold out tours, NF enjoys a pretty
nice lifestyle.
I mean he’s done exactly what he said in “When I Grow Up.”
He pays his bills rapping about the way he feels and he’s definitely made a couple
mill.
Most recently, NF got married to the love of his life and the two shared a beautiful
wedding.
With a reported net worth of 6 million dollars, NF can buy all of the cars, clothes and cribs
that he wants, but Nate seems more focused on finding inner peace and growing as a human
being than blowing a rack on a new chain.
Like he says on “My Stress”
The most important things in life to me are things I can’t buy
But in this video we’re going to take you through the incredible journey of NF and his
financial come up.
And while it’s pretty hard to find anything on the guys spending habits, I’ll walk you
through the few things that he spends his money on that are important to him.
What’s going on good people in the comment section?

Thee Stallion.
I also want to let you guys know about an exciting opportunity that we have to connect

I’ve also got a trivia question for you that I’ll answer later on in the video:
What was served for dinner at NF’s wedding.
Place your guesses in the comments down below, alright, now let’s get into the show!
Before we get into how NF makes his income, let’s take a look at NF’s journey.
I recently did a full length updated Before They Were Famous on Nate so I’m gonna play
a quick clip of that and you can check out the full vid after this one.
Roll
the clip:
Alright, so now that you know Nate, how does NF make his money?
Well the man seems to live and breath music, so it’s no surprise that music has become
his livelihood.
His 2016 album “Therapy Session” reached number 1 on the US Christian album chart and
the US Rap chart.
His 2017 album Perception landed at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and his single “Let
You Down” reached #1 on the US Christian chart, #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1
on the Pop songs airplay chart.
Perception would later go platinum selling over a million record equivalents.
His most recent album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart outselling the heavily
marketed Chance The Rapper debut.
NF sold 130,000 copies with 84,000 coming from actual album SALES.
That means that 84k fans actually went out and bought the album, they didn’t just stream
it.
That made it the biggest sales week for a rapper this year!
NF has some dedicated fans!
And with the fans connecting so heavily with the music, they not only listen, but show
up at the shows and know every word to the songs.
NF joined Logic on tour for his Bobby Terrentino vs. Everybody stops along with Kyle.
NF also sold out his headlining “Perception” tour which had two legs and travelled across
North America.
He was filling out arenas like the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock which holds around
18 thousand people.
If you think about 40 bucks a ticket times 18 thousand people, that’s quick maths here:
720 thousand dollars, from one show!
Now of course, you have to factor in cost of renting out the building, staff, paying
out openers, tour crew, managers etc.
But still, you can see how NF is making a lot of his money out on the road.
And the shows are only getting bigger with The Search Tour beginning shortly in North
American and Europe.
NF has the realest Merch.
Cause it says Real on all of his merch.
Ya know what I’m saying?
But on the real, I really like the Real real dad hats which go for 30 bucks.
The Real shorts go for 50 bucks and his hoodies and T-shirts range from 20 – 45 bucks.
NF’s fans are so dedicated that they support all of his merch drops.
He really might have the most underrated fan base in music right now, so if you’re an
NF fan, shoutout to you.
Alright, so let’s take a stab at how he spends his money.
NF doesn’t show up anything flashy in terms of his clothing.
Like he says on Returns:
While I'm wearin' my merch, stompin' on your arrogant turf
Sit back and observe, nah, I like to actually work
And he’s not lying.
You can usually spot him repping one of his “real” hats at almost any given moment.
But in terms of his jeans, his wife has said in the past that NF buys his jeans from H&M
and rips them himself.
Black skinny jeans from H&M will only run you back about $25.
He also is known to rock some long shirts again referencing it on Returns once again
when he says:
My music's superb, playin' with words, play with my nerves.
They gon have a list of issues long as my shirts
The long shirts from H&M run for around 10 bucks, but I’m guessing he has quite a few
of those for when he goes on tour and they get all sweaty.
Like I said before, the guy really doesn’t buy much designer clothes, he keeps it true
to himself.
And he also rocks some H&M hoodies like this one:
H&M better toss the bag to NF and give him his own line.
The guy should at least be making money for rocking your clothing so often and making
it his own.
According to his song “Leave Me Alone,” another thing in his closet is actually his
plaques.
He raps:
I went from nobody to kinda famous Hide my plaques inside the closet, I just
can't explain it
I guess he hasn’t hung up his platinum album or single plaques that he’s earned over
the years onto his wall yet.
This could be a feeling of not deserving them, or maybe not wanting to be boastful.
But either way, I think NF deserves all of the success that he’s had and whenever he’s
ready to hang them up it will be the right time.
Currently NF lives in Michigan but there are no photos of his house online, and he’s
never posted a picture of his car either, if he even has one.
I mean he did say on his new album that he spends money on things that don’t really
make him sometimes, so maybe he’s got a couple of binge purchases that he keeps to
himself.
But one thing we know that NF isn’t afraid to spend money on that does make him happy
is the love of his life Bridgette.
They recently had their wedding which included a beautiful ceremony and even ended off with
some fireworks.
They had their friends Fleurie and Jon, who is the lead singer of Nightly perform at the
wedding.
And for dinner, they had breakfast.
Eggs, hash browns, a cereal station, sausage, bacon and even A PANCAKE BAR.
And honestly I completely respect.
Breakfast is undoubtedly the best meal of the day and I’ll fight anyone in the comment
section who says otherwise.
And there you have the answer to the question from the beginning of the video.
That along with the dessert bar looked absolutely incredible.
The wedding was probably a great time.
But it seems like Nate just wants to be Left Alone, so that’s all I got for this video
on his lifestyle.
I also want to say once again that NF is an example of money not solving your problems
but in some cases just bringing them to the light.
He talks about being diagnosed with OCD on his latest album and mentions a few times
how money hasn’t solved any of his problems.
So NF, if you’re watching this I hope you’re doing okay and working through things in your
own way and staying healthy, and if you’re watching this as a fan and going through anything,
just know that there are resources out there to help you deal with your mental health,
you don’t have to keep it all bundled up inside.
Thank you guys for watching, let me know who you want me to cover next as always in the
comments down below.
Follow me on Insta and we can talk there.
Dream Good, Live Better, I hope you have one Hecht of a Day, and if nobody’s told you
yet today, I love you.
I’ll see you in the next video.
