DDG Massive Monthly Salary Revealed; Says He, Halle Bailey Don't Split Finances Equally
DDG is earning big bucks from his YouTube and music career.
The 26-year-old rapper and content creator previously said he was raking in $30,000 a month when he dropped out of college to pursue YouTube full-time around seven years ago.
But DDG -- whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. -- revealed during a recent interview with "The Shade Room" podcast that he now earns anywhere between $100,000 and $500,000 a month, as noted by HotNewHipHop.
"On a low month, I'll pull in a little hundred piece [$100,000]. On a high month, we can go anywhere from five [$500,000] and up," DDG said in the interview released Friday.
DDG opted to give a "wide range" instead of exact numbers to avoid having people "pocket-watch."
He explained that his massive salary isn't a big surprise considering how long he's been doing YouTube and music.
"I work very hard. A lot of people don't give me credit for what I do, but being relevant in the space that I'm in for as long as I have, a lot of people look at me as an OG. Even though I'm only 26, but I've been doing it since I was 19. I inspired a lot of the new creators that we are seeing now," DDG told the outlet.
During the interview, the social media personality also discussed how he and his girlfriend Halle Bailey, 24, handle their finances.
DDG said that he and Bailey don't split bills equally except when it comes to their son Halo, whom they welcomed in December 2023.
"I pay for a lot of stuff. I don't think 50/50 is a thing when you got money. Me and her got money, so it's a little different," he explained.
"For the most part, as a man, you know she will never pay for dinner, she will never pay for an Uber or trips and flights and stuff. I feel like that's definitely my job," he added.
However, DDG said things are "a little different" when it comes to expenses related to their child.
"We might split a night nurse here and there, you know what I mean?" he said. "It ain't even about the money, it's just the principle, you know? The baby [is] 50/50."
DDG, whose net worth is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be around $2 million, has amassed over 10 million subscribers and more than 1.2 billion views across several channels since he began posting videos on YouTube.
His most popular videos include vlogs, pranks, reactions, gaming and music videos of his songs.
After his music gained attention, DDG signed with Epic Records and later co-founded his own label, Zooted Music.
His biggest single so far is "Moonwalking in Calabasas," which went multi-platinum and entered the Billboard Hot 100 after it was released in 2020.
His girlfriend is also a multi-millionaire, with Bailey reported to have a net worth of $3 million.
She is one half of the musical duo Chloe x Halle, along with sister Chloe Bailey, and has starred in many TV and film projects, including "The Little Mermaid" and "Grown-ish."
