Chief Keef is one of the most influential rappers to appear on the hip hop scene in
the last decade.
The Chicago legend is estimated to be worth around $3,000,000 and he most certainly lives
like it.
Chief Keef has been in and out of several multi million dollar estates, as well as purchased
hundreds of thousands of dollars in expensive jewelry ever since signing an impressive record
deal with Interscope Records back in 2013 when he was just 17 years old.
In addition to all the real estate and jewelry, Chief Keef has also been seen driving around
luxurious BMW’s and fast Lamborghinis that are worth over $200,000.
Oh and don’t get me started on the Chief’s massive collection of vintage arcade games
that make his Los Angeles mansion look like the inside of an arcade.
Curious on what else Chief Keef spends his money on?
Well then we got you covered.
Here is an exclusive inside look at the $3,000,000 Lifestyle of Chief Keef.
Now Chief Keef wasn’t always ballin like he is now.
As most of you probably know, Sosa grew up in the southside of Chicago where he was surrounded
by a lot of gang activity.
The Chief then fell into that type of lifestyle at a young age and began selling drugs as
a way to make some easy money.
While not on the block, Chief Keef aspired to be a rapper and eventually pursued this
dream after linking up with a producer by the name of DJ Kenn after his uncle introduced
the two.
They soon began to make and release songs on YouTube, which eventually brought a fair
amount of attention to Chief Keef’s music but things didn’t start to take off until
he started working with Young Chop, another producer from around the area.
The now platinum duo, dropped a song titled “I Don’t Like” that quickly garnered
millions of views online due to its wild energy and raw lyrics.
Chief Keef then followed up “I Don’t Like” with another smash hit called “Love Sosa”
which has over 115,000,000 views at the time of this recording.
The combination of “I Don’t Like”, “Love Sosa”, and the chicago gang lifestyle, had
just about every record label lining up to sign Chief Sosa.
The Chief eventually signed with Interscope Records for an incredible $6,000,000 deal.
A first time deal of that size is almost unheard of.
For example, Juice World (RIP) signed to Interscope as well but for only $3,000,000 and we all
know how talented and versatile he was.
That $6,000,000 deal let everyone know that Chief Keef was in fact the next big thing.
But this deal quickly went south…
One big concern everyone in the industry had about Chief Keef was the fact that he might
be “too gangster” for the industry.
He didn’t listen to anybody and wouldn’t show up to scheduled events such as interviews
and music videos.
Add up all his legal troubles as well and um let’s just say Interscope had enough
of the Chief decided to drop him in October of 2014.
It’s unknown how much of the $6,000,000 he was able to keep since the deal fell through
but I can almost guarantee he pocketed a million or two.
Chief Keef then went on to sign one horrible record deal with billionaire troll Alki David’s
FilmOnTV.
This deal was a 7 album 360 deal, meaning that Alki gets a percentage of just about
everything Chief Keef does rather than just the music sales and streams like most record
labels do.
This deal quickly went south as well due to Chief Keef and his mangenement not cooperating
with FilmOnTV.
This was most likely done on purpose, in hopes to be dropped after he realized how bad of
a deal it was.
Alki David ended up suing The Chief for $4,000,000 and repossessed the BMW i8 that he gave to
Sosa as a gift.
“Would you believe that none of these cars belong to me.
There all my wife’s and one repossessed from Chief Keef.
All I have, is my scooty bike”.
This eventually got settled and Chief Keef later signed to RBC Records but It was unknown
how much he signed for.
Today, Chief Keef is said to charge between $15,000 - $20,000 per show according to a
random booking website I found on Google.
The Chief also gets around 4,000,000 streams on Spotify each month which equates to around
$16,000 per month.
His Apple Music streams are unknown but let’s just say he gets 2,500,000 streams each month
since Apple Music has less users than Spotify.
2,500,000 streams on Apple Music would earn The Chief around $12,500 per month.
Chief Keef’s YouTube channel get’s 3,800,000 views per month and various sites suggest
that Musical Artist’s get a $3 CPM which would mean that Chief Keef makes around $11,500
per month off his YouTube Channel.
In addition to the music, Chief Keef has a pretty awesome clothing line called “Glo
Gang” which is also the name of his own little crew.
It’s obviously unknown how much revenue this generates for The Chief but to be safe,
let’s just say its $10,000 per month.
Could be more, could be way less.
In total, Chief Keef makes around $84,000 a month if he does two shows and maintains
those type of streaming numbers.
That’s around $3,000 a day, $21,000 a week, and over $1,000,000 dollars per year.
Not too bad for a savage from the O.
So now that you got a rough estimate of what Chief Keef is making per month, it’s time
to show you what he spends that hard earned cash on, with the first being his houses.
The first home that Chief Keef splurged on when he got his first few checks was a home
in Northbrook, Illinois, a rather wealthy neighborhood that was 40 minutes north of
O.
The 5,200 square foot home contained 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms for a set rate of around $5,000
per month.
This is the same house that legendary music videos were filmed at for songs such as Macaroni
Time, They Know, and Now It’s Over.
Unfortunately, Chief Keef was evicted and sued by the landlord after owing $9,400 in
unpaid rent.
This case was eventually settled but the terms were unknown, as court dockets just showed
“Dismissed By Prejudice” which means its done and over with.
You would think Chief Keef falling behind on rent would mean that he was broke but that
clearly wasn’t the case since he was still signed to Interscope at the time.
I guess it just goes to show how much Chief Keef really doesn’t care and that his management
fails to help keep his bills in order.
After getting evicted from his Northbrook home, The Chief and the rest of the Glo Gang
moved 10 minutes away to Northfield, another super wealthy area of Chicago.
This new home was apparently being rented under Chief Keef’s former manager’s name
for $7,500 a month but was most likely being paid for by Sosa himself due to the fact that
nobody probably wanted to rent to him after failing to pay his rent at his last place.
This new home was a massive 6,950 square feet mansion with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms just
like his last house in Northbrook.
This is the same house seen in the Vice documentary where Chief Keef is just casually driving
his ATV around his yard, completely destroying it in the process.
The music videos to Love No Thotties, Citgo, and Ain’t Done Turning Up were filmed at
this house as well.
But all good things come to an end because after someone was shot in the home, Chief
Keef and Friends decided it was time to move on to the next mansion and boy were the neighbors
happy because after the news broke out that someone was shot in the neighborhood, several
neighbors told The Chicago Tribune that Chief Keef was a “horrible” neighbor and that
they couldn’t stand the all ATV’s driving around and the loud parties that took place
at the house.
One neighbor also said that "We all knew that something bad was going to happen at that
house, but I still can't believe it is happening in my neighborhood,".
After all the drama in Northfield, The Chief moved just 12 minutes north to a neighborhood
called Highland Park.
The new Glo Gang estate was a cool 5,625 square feet and once again featured 6 bedrooms but
this time it had 6.5 bathrooms… a little upgrade for The Chief.
It was unknown how much Chief Keef was paying to live here but it doesn't really matter
because shortly after, he was evicted from the home after falling $30,000 behind on rent.
When this story hit the news, the landlord said Chief Keef was a good tenant besides
not paying the rent while neighbors described it as a nightmare, claiming that tons of people
were coming and going from the house at all hours of the day.
Between getting evicted and having other legal issues, Chief Keef decided that he has had
enough of Chicago and moved to beautiful Los Angeles in hopes to stay out of trouble and
further his already successful music career.
The Los Angeles neighborhood of choice was Woodland Hills, the same neighborhood Tupac
resided in for quite some time.
The home that The Chief picked out looked incredible.
It was a 5,461 square foot home that featured 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a beach entry pool,
and a 1,000 square foot guest house as well.
Chief Keef paid around $7,500 a month to live here and it was totally worth it in my opinion
due to the fact that the move to California ended up keeping him out of trouble and away
from the gang activity that comes from Chicago.
It’s also worth noting that Sosa made it through the whole lease without getting evicted
and without missing one rent payment.
A huge step for The Chief.
The current house Chief Keef is residing in is just 12 minutes east in a neighborhood
called Tarzana.
This home is the smallest one he's lived in but is definitely one of the most luxurious.
It is 4,841 square feet and has just 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a large gate to secure the
home… or so you would think, because in late september of 2018, Chief Keef’s new
house was robbed at around 11 pm at night.
The suspects apparently hopped the gate and threw bricks through his windows in order
to enter the home.
Cops arrived moments later and the suspects fled the scene.
While fleeing, one of the suspects shot at the cops.
The search for the robbers went on for 5 hours and ended with 2 people getting arrested.
Chief Keef was home at the time and told authorities that he was unaware of the break in….
Even though they literally shattered his windows with bricks.
It’s unknown how much the Chief pays to stay in the house but a home in Los Angeles
is never cheap so I expect it to be quite expensive.
In addition to the houses, Chief Keef has been seen in plenty of different cars throughout
his career.
One of those being the BMW X6 that he was arrested in after speeding down the freeway
going 110mph.
Chief Keef most likely purchased this car for around $65,000 but it’s unclear whether
or not he still owns the vehicle as he’s never really been seen in it ever since.
Another car The Chief was seen cruising around in was the infamous BMW i8 that Alki David
gave and later took back from him after the deal they had fell through.
The futuristic looking BMW was worth around $150,000.
The current car that Chief Keef is driving is a Lamborghini Urus or what is also known
as “The Lambo Truck”.
If bought and not leased, then The Chief would have paid around $210,000 for the vehicle.
I also think Chief Keef owns a hellcat as well but couldn’t find much information
on that.
If so, those start at around $60,000.
Another thing Chief Keef likes to splurge on is his Jewelry.
I can’t even keep track of how many chains the Chief has purchased throughout his career
but man is his collection nice.
One of the chains that Chief Keef always wore that stood out to me was this one right here.
This chain was handcrafted by the legendary jeweler Johnny Dang and can be seen in many
of Sosa’s old music videos.
Sadly, the chain is no longer in the Chief’s possession after an old associate named “Bosstop”
stole the chain along with a few other items from his home a few years back.
Another amazing piece from the Chief’s collection is the Glo Gang sun logo chain as well as
the thot breaker chain which have to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Chief Keef also owns several bust down watches along with multiple rings and earrings as
well.
I have no idea how much his jewelry collection is worth but I wouldn’t be surprised if
it was easily worth over $200,000.
Now if there’s something the Chief likes as much, if not more than his houses and jewelry,
it’s gotta be his electronics.
Chief Keef is a self claimed “electronic fanatic”.
His current Tarzana home has over 18 4K TV’s with 2-3 in each room… including the bathrooms
and connected to each TV is an Xbox One.
The average price for a 65 inch 4K TV is around $1,000, so if the Chief has 18 TV’s then
that comes out to be $18,000 in just TV’s around the house and if you include the Xbox’s
with that as well, then there is an additional $5,400, assuming that each Xbox cost $300.
Chief Keef also collects old arcade games as well.
In a Netflix show called “Droppin’ Cash”, they had an episode where Chief Keef shows
them around his Tarzana home and his living room actually looks like one big arcade.
Then later in the episode, Chief Keef goes out and purchases a classic motorcycle arcade
game for $4,700 to add to his collection.
It’s actually pretty awesome and I totally recommend you check it out if your a fan of
The Chief.
Overall, I think it’s safe to say that Chief Keef is living his best life.
He went from living in the projects of southside Chicago to a respected hip hop artist living
lavishly in his Los Angeles home.
As for what he’s up to career wise, he seems to just be recording music casually and doing
shows and festivals whenever it seems convenient.
To be honest, The Chief seems more passionate about gaming rather than music as it looks
like has been putting together his own E-Sports team called “Glo Navy” which is awesome
in my opinion but maybe he should drop Almighty So 2 first…
