Forget Lil Tay, DDG is one of the youngest flexers in the game!
At just 21 years old, he has been able to create a lifestyle for himself that very few
people ever attain.
He’s made millions through his multiple successful YouTube channels and his music
career, collabing with Famous Dex, YBN Nahmir, G-Herbo, Black Youngsta and selling out shows:
But the rich life isn’t new to DDG.
He was already making 7 figures by the time he was 20 and today that number has only grown.
He may have come from Pontiac Michigan, but the kid has moved onto cars like his Mercedez
Benz G-Wagon AMG G63, not 1 but 2 BMW i8’s and he’s set to buy a brand new Wraith for
his next birthday!
He has watches that include an AP, a Rolex and a Richard Millie and DDG recently purchased
a multimillion dollar mansion that will include a home theatre, a sauna and a backyard pool.
Not bad for a college dropout from Michigan:
DDG has a reported net worth of anywhere between 750k and 3 million dollars.
That’s up from his 2018 online net worth, which was listed as 500k.
But DDG isn’t new to making money, he has been financially supporting himself for a
few years now from his videos and music career.
Plus, he just signed a multi-million-dollar record deal with Epic, and owns all of his
Masters.
So this is only the beginning for DDG.
What’s going on guys?
It’s your boy Michael McCrudden, walking you through the financial come up of DDG,
here for you on The Rich Life.
We’ve recently covered other celebrities like Austin McBroom of The Ace Family and
Kylie Jenner, but you got to let us know who to cover next in the comments down below.
Before we start, I’ve got a trivia question for you though:
“What’s the name of the person who handcrafted DDG’s G-Wagon engine?”
Stick around for that now let’s get into the video!
Darryl Grandberry was born in Pontiac Michigan on October 10, 1997.
Darryl comes from humble beginnings growing up with 5 siblings in a dangerous area.
His father worked at the Ford Motor company and his mom worked 2 retail jobs to help pay
the bills.
But he stayed out of trouble and focused on his goals of one day making it out of his
circumstances.
He had a 4.0 GPA and became the school’s valedictorian.
Darryl made music from the time he was 10 years old but when Darryl got hold of a camera,
it he found a new love.
Darryl did deal with a lot of trials and tribulations before living the life he lives today though.
He lost his brother to senseless violence, which is one of the most impactful moments
in
his life.
Darryl attended Central Michigan University to study broadcasting and theatre interpretation.
But it was his YouTube channel that became his main focus and he eventually left college
to pursue his dreams full time.
And it worked out because he was making more than many of
his teachers from YouTube.
In 2011, PontiacMadeDDG created his self-titled YouTube channel in but it wasn’t until 2014
that he began to post regularly on the channel.
PontiacMadeDDG makes a supposed 2 million dollars off of his DDG Family Vlog channel
per year.
With over 3 million subscribers and close to 400 million views, the channel is bringing
in an estimated 5,600 dollars per day from ads.
But when YouTube’s adpocolypse hit, DDG decided to take his music more seriously as
a plan B.
And he’s turned it into a successful music career.
Many YouTubers who also rap end up stuck in a weird lane of being a so called “YouTube
rapper” but DDG has found success outside of just the platform.
His Spotify streaming numbers are in the millions with his song “Arguments” hitting 21 million
plays.
And he signed to Epic records for multiple millions.
But the biggest thing that he did was make sure he owns his masters.
Which is a move that will pay off big time in the long run.
Speaking of investments, DDG has also invested in Bitcoin
Alright, so let’s get into the lavish lifestyle of DDG and look at what he spends his money
on.
Most recently, DDG bought a multi-million-dollar mansion at the young age of 21.
He bought his first legal drink and his first mansion in the same year!
What a life.
On top of the 2 million that the house cost, the renovations cost 428 grand!
The house is pretty empty right now, but he plans on putting in palm trees, a pool and
waterfalls in his backyard!
So lookout for that: Now, on his song “Givenchy” he raps: “Social
media got me rich, I ain’t have to use a kitchen.”
So, his kitchen probably won’t get used very much.
But it seems like the basement is going to be a nice little spot for a party:
The house also includes a home theatre:
And a sauna!
And the
driveway to that new house will be stacked because DDG is a big fan of cars.
At 19 years old, DDG bought himself a 2016 BMW i8
Next, he needed a truck and bought a new Mercedez Benz G-Wagon AMG G63 for 150 grand!
It looks a whole lot better in that video than it does in this one:
But the first i8 got a little too boring for DDG, so the only logical thing to do was to
get a newer one.
He bought himself a 2019 BMW i8 Droptop for 170,000.
There are only 200 of the first edition made in the world and DDG has one of them.
He even picked his little sister up from school in it:
I’m guessing you get a lot of cool points as a kid if your brother pulls up in a car
like that…
And speaking of family, who needs two i8s…
So he gave it to his brother
DDG loves to make the people closest to him smile.
He gives back a lot.
This year for her birthday, he bought his mom a 2019 Mercedes Benz Coupe for 60k and
got her a trip to Hawaii.
He mentions all the time in his videos that his dream car is a Rolls Royce Wraith, but
since he loves to give back so much, he got one for someone special:
Well, actually he was renting it.
Don’t worry, you can relax in the comments, I know he didn’t buy it there!
But, he said he’s actually buying it for his birthday.
And DDG’s birthday is coming up in October.
The price of a Wraith starts at over 300 grand, so that’s a huge accomplishment.
We might need to do another Rich Life on him after that.
In terms of jewelry, the kid’s got some ice.
His Cuban link necklace is reportedly worth around 25k.
He’s got a DDG chain, iced out earrings, a Rolex, and an AP watch which he bought for
50k.
And his next watch was a Richard Millie, which reportedly go for around 150 grand!
But DDG is in this for the long run.
He wants to be able to resell his new purchases for more money in the future.
DDG says that his shoe collection is worth 30 grand and his clothing collection is worth
another 40k.
So add in those watches and the man probably has close to half a million dollars’ worth
of stuff in his closet.
DDG also loves to travel and recently took a trips to Dubai.
But all of the stuff he posts online he is extremely grateful for.
And like he always says in his videos, he posts his riches so that he can hopefully
inspire the people watching him to go make a better life for themselves.
As for the name of the dude who built his G-Wagon’s engine.
I don’t even think DDG can pronounce it, but there you have the answer to the question
from the beginning of the video!
Let us know who you want us to cover next and we’ll be sure to make those videos for
you.
But as for this video that’s all I got for you.
