26-Year-Old Rapper Latto Admitted That She Finds Being Rich 'Boring' Since Becoming A Millionaire At 21, And It's Sparked A Conversation About How Celebs Use Their Wealth
Last week, rapper Latto candidly opened up about her wealth during an appearance on Complex's 360 With Speedy. The 26-year-old, formerly known as Mulatto, found fame nearly a decade ago after winning the first season of Lifetime's The Rap Game. In 2020, her single 'B*tch From Da Souf' went super viral, and she's since collaborated with a range of A-Listers. While noting that she's proud of her financial success, Latto admitted that she finds being rich 'kinda boring' after she was asked what it feels like to be able to buy whatever she wants. 'It's kinda boring,' she said. 'I was a millionaire at 21. So it's like, you grow up fast, already being in the industry at a young age and then when you have a lot of money at a young age too.'

It's fun, don't get me wrong,' she said before adding that she thinks people should be chasing 'true happiness.' 'The average person don't have a lot of money.

However, she noted that 'it just got old fast.' And when it was suggested that she might have had a 'different appreciation' for money if she'd acquired her wealth later in life, Latto agreed. 'Obviously it has its pros, but I don't know if it's the best thing for a 21 year old to be seeing that much money that fast. Like, it kinda takes away life's experiences,' she shared. Latto's candid comments have since picked up steam online, and while some X users noted that they understand her sentiment, others wound up debating how celebrities use their wealth.

DDG and Halle Bailey: A look at their net worth amid legal tensions
Halle Bailey managed to get a restraining order against her ex, DDG, after he sent her very disturbing messages, accusing her of being with Brent Faiyaz. This happened during a Mother's Day getaway at St. Lucia, when Bailey was vacationing with her sister and infant son, Halo, according to a TMZ report. It was at this time that her ex, YouTuber DDG began accusing her of spending time with R&B singer Brent Faiyaz on a private island. Bailey kept denying the accusations and calmly responded that she was vacationing with her child, Halo. ALSO READ | DDG accused Halle Bailey of cosying up with Brent Faiyaz, sent threatening messages: Report When the tone of the messages went ahead to become more and more disturbing, Bailey took the step of securing a restraining order against her ex. As of 2024, Halle Bailey's net worth is estimated at a whopping $3 million, according to a Marca report. This stems from her steady rise in income from her multiple talents, including both film and music. When her music career first kicked off, she gradually proceeded towards acting. Her role as Sky on the hit show Grown-ish helped increase her screen presence, after which she saw a major rise in her earnings. YouTuber DDG's net worth was earlier rumored to be $8 million, but Bailey's ex later responded about this on a '360 With Speedy' show. DDG joked that the claim that his net worth was $8 million was 'way off', and that it could be much more than that. However, it could not be completely ascertained if he was actually serious. However, during the show, he also revealed that his biggest monthly checks for YouTube content typically used to be $300,000 or $400,000.
