What is Iggy Azalea’s Net Worth?

Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper, model, and songwriter who has a net worth of $15 million. She initially gained fame on the online video-sharing platform, YouTube, after posting videos for her songs, Pussy and Two Times. Ignorant Art, her first mixtape, was dropped in 2011. She later signed a recording contract with T.I’s Grand Hustle.

Early Life

Born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, on June 7, 1990, in Sydney, Iggy was raised in Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia. Her parents were Brendan and Tanya Kelly. Her father was a painter and comic artist of Irish and Australian descent. Her mother was a holiday house and hotel cleaner.

She began rapping at the age of fourteen. Citing the all-female band TLC rapper Left Eye as her earliest influence, she also created her own band with two girls from her neighborhood, but they later split as Iggy felt that the other two were not serious with the group’s activities.

She expressed interest in moving to America and left high school to join her mother in her cleaning work. Saving up enough money, she eventually moved in 2006. She left on the pretext of going on a short holiday but later ended up staying there and told her parents that she would not come back. She acquired her GED there.

She also obtained a visa waiver, which she renewed by going to Australia every three months. She resided in Florida for some time and then moved to Texas. She later relocated to Georgia before eventually settling in California. She worked illegally in the US until 2013 when she was granted a five-year O Visa. Her stage name is derived from her dog’s name Iggy and the name of the street she grew up on, Azalea.

Career

After settling down in California in 2010, Iggy met her then-boyfriend Jefe “Wine-O” Wine who eventually signed her to his record label Wine-O Music. Following their breakup, he continued to release Iggy’s music under his label, through iTunes. Iggy began posting her music videos on Youtube, in 2011 and rose to fame when the videos of her songs Pussy and Two Times gained a lot of fame online.

She was also signed to Interscope Records for some time.  Iggy also dropped her first mixtape Ignorant Art in September 2011. In 2012, she dropped her second mixtape TrapGold. That same year, she became the first female rapper to appear on XXL’s Annual Top 10 Freshman cover issue. Iggy reached out to rapper T.I and eventually got signed to Grand Hustle Records in 2012. During this period, she also started working on her first studio album The New Classic.

She joined Rita Ora on her North American tour, and also embarked on another tour in Europe to promote TrapGold. In 2013, Azalea was signed to Mercury Records. That same year, she released three singles Work, Bounce, and Change Your Life from her yet-to-be-released album, The New Classic. After releasing Bounce, Iggy opened for Beyonce on the Australian leg of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.

She dropped Fancy, the fourth single from The New Classic album, in 2014. Fancy became a hit and peaked at number one on the US Billboard Chart. Later that year, the much-awaited album The New Classic was dropped. It received critical acclaim and peaked at number three on the Billboard chart.

The Australian rapper collaborated with Jennifer Lopez on Booty and Ariana Grande on her song Problem. She announced her plans for a world tour in 2015, and the release of a second album, in December 2014.

A year later, Iggy shifted her date for the world tour to 2016, but however released a song with Britney Spears titled Pretty Girls. She also stated that the name of her second album would be Digital Distortion. In 2016, she became one of the judges on the eighth season of The X Factor Australia. In 2017, she dropped the singles Mo Bounce and Switch, while delaying the release of her next album.
