So, how much is Larry June worth?
June’s first professional record deal was done with Warner Records, which offered him a $20,000 advance for two EPs (extended plays).
He felt Warner Records did not have the same vision as he did for his music, causing him to stop producing music for two years and instead tour from 2014 to 2016.
In 2016, Larry began producing new music independently, which was subsequently released from Warner Records.
By releasing music independently, he was able to keep nearly all the profits from his releases.
After a few months of his music being available on DistroKid, a platform to aid independent artists generate revenue on their streams, Larry had accumulated over $50,000 in streaming revenue.
Since that point in 2016, June has released numerous independent tracks and is in a position to keep a majority of the profits from his music.
Along with streaming revenue, June has continued to tour throughout his music making process.
He has 343 million views on his YouTube channel, which has generated over $1 million in ad revenue.
Spotify

Along with his YouTube channel, his Spotify account has nearly 2 million monthly listeners.
Based on the estimate that 1 million streams per month generates around $4,000 in revenue on Spotify, Larry June generates $5,000 to $8,000 per month from Spotify revenue.
In 2021, he signed a distribution deal with Empire Records, which not only allowed him to maintain ownership of his music but also acquire a record label-sized ‘push’ to his new and existing music.
June has been estimated to have made over $1,500,000 from the various music releases he has put out.
He has always been a frugal investor with his money and has been documented to have a well-versed understanding of his financials.
Larry often references financial literacy and freedom in his music as it is a focal point of his life as a successful musician. He even created a song titled Financial Freedom.
He is not new to opening and running new businesses, but following his success in the music industry, he began gaining ownership through a different route.
June operates as an angel investor for many small businesses, investing money into the business for a stake in the company while also remaining hands-off from day-to-day operations.

One notable business June has over a %30 stake in is a San Francisco based boba cafe called Honey Bear Boba.
Since his original investment June has been able to help grow the business to a position to open multiple new locations in the bay area.
Beyond angel investing, June also invests in residential and commercial real estate.
All of June’s investments, including the way he creates and distributes his music, are based on generating passive income that will last beyond his fame.
This method allows June to consistently generate revenue and ownership without having to sacrifice his time which he utilizes elsewhere.
Midnight Organic
His clothing brand, Midnight Organic, sells lifestyle clothing at high-end prices. He utilizes his Instagram, with nearly 500,000 followers, to promote and generate traffic to his merch site, as well as his official website.
Unlike the site he sells his clothing on, his official website houses blog posts, news articles, and tour updates while also running ads to generate revenue.
He invests in the crypto and stock market with the goal of generating sustainable long-term passive income.
June has been documented to be involved in stock and crypto trading as far back as 2016.
Since 2016 multiple crypto and stock exchanges have grown exponentially.
June values longevity in his money and passive income. He views himself not as an artist but as an entrepreneur and has exemplified these notions throughout his career.
Because of his serial entrepreneurial ship and his business mindset, Larry has been able to amass wealth that most artists signed to a label may never see.
Therefore, American rapper Larry June has an estimated net worth of $3 million.
