Multiple songs with over a billion streams each. A face full of tattoos and a wine brand. But his lavish lifestyle keeps the net worth surprisingly modest.

Why $45M is below expected
Post Malone is one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. "Rockstar," "Sunflower," "Circles," and "Congratulations" have each crossed the billion-stream mark. His Spotify monthly listeners regularly top 50 million. By streaming metrics alone, he's in the same tier as Drake and The Weeknd. By net worth? He's in a completely different zip code.
The $45M figure makes more sense when you look at the spending. Posty is famous for his lavish lifestyle — a 12,000+ sq ft mansion in Utah, extensive car collection, custom jewelry, and a general approach to money that prioritizes experience over accumulation. He also launched Maison No. 9, a rosé wine brand, but wine is a notoriously low-margin business that's more lifestyle project than wealth builder.
The bigger structural issue is the same one that hits most streaming-era artists: the per-stream payout is tiny, and after label cuts and team commissions, even billions of streams translate to tens of millions, not hundreds. Post's touring revenue is strong but not at the stadium-residency level that generates truly massive income. At $45M, he's proof that being one of the biggest artists in the world doesn't automatically mean being one of the richest.

Test Yourself
Based on what you just read — guess these musicians:
Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's $50 million estate in 1977 translates to approximately $600 million in today's dollars, making him one of the wealthiest entertainers of the 20th century. His dominance in radio, film, and recording—combined with shrewd business investments—created a wealth machine that rivaled major industrialists. What's wild: he essentially invented the modern celebrity endorsement and was an early television pioneer who understood the assignment before anyone else.
Dua Lipa
Despite only releasing two studio albums, Dua Lipa has amassed $35 million through savvy streaming optimization and brand partnerships. Her 2020 album 'Future Nostalgia' generated over $15 million in revenue while most artists struggled during the pandemic.
Ariana Grande
At just 30, Ariana Grande has quietly assembled a $240 million fortune that rivals pop legends twice her age. While you were sleeping on her business moves, she was building an empire that makes $50+ million annually from sources far beyond music.
