Yachty takes pride in his wealth.

Lil Yachty is an artist who has been around for a while at this point. Overall, he remains one of the most successful artists to come out of the 2016 XXL Freshman list. Considering the talent that was present that year, that really says something. Although some have always been Yachty haters, you can't deny that the artist has improved tremendously over the years. Moreover, he has experimented with new sounds while others have remained formulaic in their approaches.

In a recent song, Yachty spoke about having a higher net worth than your favorite artist. Some people on Twitter tried to call cap on this, immediately. However, Yachty was not going to allow that to slide. Below, you can see that some fans pointed towards a Google search that explains how Yachty's net worth is about $8 million. As Yachty explains, this is completely inaccurate. "I made 8 million in my first 8 months of rapping in 2016 on god," he wrote.
