Coolio Net Worth $100,000
Artis Leon Ivey Jr. was born on August 1, 1963, in Compton, California, United States. The first album, called “It Takes a Thief”, was released in 1994. The first song from the album, “Fantastic Voyage”, immediately became one of the hits on MTV, and that’s why Coolio’s net worth started to rise. This debut album received 4 stars from “Rolling Stone” magazine, so it definitely can be called a successful beginning.
The next album, “Gangsta’s Paradise”, was released only one year after. Then A. Ivey was able to repeat his success one more time as the song with the same name as the new album became a great hit. His third album, “My Soul”, didn’t gain as much success as the previous two, however, Coolio’s net worth still increased because of his work as a musician.
It also needs to be mentioned that Leon Ivey Jr. is known as an actor. He made his acting debut in 1996 when played in “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” – an American sitcom extremely popular around the world created by Nell Scovell. He didn’t have a big role in it, but it was the first and needed experience in a movie. Later he portrayed several more small roles in films such as “Kenan and Kel”, “Batman & Robin”, “Duckman” and “An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn” released in 1997.
However, the main source of Coolio’s net worth is music, not the movies. He has even received several awards. He has one American Music Award, one Grammy, and three MTV Video Music Awards. Furthermore, he has been nominated for different awards 13 times, and this is the reason why today the estimated net worth of Artis Leon Ivey Jr. is still rising as before.
However, despite all the fame, Coolio has also had some serious problems with the police and hasn’t been able to sustain a longtime relationship. He has six children with different women, but Coolio is still alone and he was arrested for punching his girlfriend of three years in the face after the scandal that she made when Artis came home with another woman. Of course, Coolie doesn’t take any honor from this, but we need to admit that this scandal and publicity could only help increase his net worth,h Artis. That is the answer to the question about how rich Coolio is.
