He may not have rocketed to popularity in the fashion of Billie Eilish or Olivia Rodrigo, but DJ Khaled’s slow-burning career is none the worse for it.
Khaled worked for years to break into the mainstream, but once he did, there was no going back. He cemented himself as a mainstay in the music industry following the release of 2006’s Listennn… the Album and followed that up with several other chart-topping releases. Khaled’s immense popularity eventually led him to collaborate with a number of big names including Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and Chance the Rapper.
Khaled is now considered one of the internet’s favorite musicians, thanks in large part to his larger-than-life online persona. This man knows how to work the web to his advantage, and it’s paid off in a big way.
What is DJ Khaled’s net worth?
Through years of stellar releases that eventually got him a spot at the top of the Billboard 200, Khaled has worked his way to the top of his field as well. He’s become popular in nearly all corners of the world and maintains his status as one of social media’s celebrity darlings. He’s also the subject of several of the internet’s favorite reaction GIFs.
