Bow Wow, who’s real name is Shad Gregory Moss, is an African-American rapper and actor who’s net worth in 2017 was estimated to be $2 million by most sources of information. Today, as the popularity of his songs has decreased and he has been exposed to more scandals than ever before, what’s his net worth going to be in 2021? That’s what we are here to answer today! So let’s get started!
Early Life
Shad Gregory Moss (born March 9, 1987), who goes by Bow Wow (formerly Lil’ Bow Wow), is an American rapper, actor and television host. Born in Columbus, Ohio, he took his stage name from Snoop Dogg’s album Doggystyle. Bow Wow later changed his stage name to simply Bow Wow since younger audiences had a hard time pronouncing Lil. He says that many people still don’t realize that his first name is Shad. He made his debut in 2000 at age 13 with Beware of Dog (2000) which featured Jermaine Dupri.

His Earnings from Music
Bow Wow has a net worth of $4 million as of January 2018. The rapper first began his career at young age, joining his friends Big Gee and Lil Brianna to form an R&B music group called IMx, who released their debut album Buddie through Epic Records in 2002. In 2011, Bow Wow signed with Cash Money Records after releasing several mixtapes. Since then, he has released numerous albums and EPs which have led to growing sales. He collaborated with Snoop Dogg on their 2013 release Doggy Fizzle Televizzle. He was also featured on Chris Brown’s 2011 album F.A..

His Earnings from Acting
Bow Wow, who is also known as Shad Moss, has appeared in films such as Like Mike and Roll Bounce. His role as Calvin Cambridge on The CW sitcom One Tree Hill helped his net worth increase to $10 million by 2012. He has also acted on television shows like The Bernie Mac Show and Half & Half. In 2016, Bow Wow made an appearance on Empire alongside Jussie Smollett for his single About My Issue from New Jack City II. He also had a role on VH1’s Single Ladies from 2010 to 2011 and was cast in both Meet the Browns (2008) and Lottery Ticket (2010). That same year, he released his sixth studio album Undisputed which debuted at No.
His Earnings from YouTube Views
From music videos to skits, Bow Wow has earned an estimated $0.04 per 1,000 views on his YouTube channel. That’s right – one of America’s richest rappers only makes a measly 0.4 cents for every thousand views he gets! In total, Bow Wow has accumulated about 7 million hits on his YouTube channel which amounts to roughly $2,400 so far. While that number might not seem like much, it’s only going to grow as he continues to gain more views and subscribers. One thing’s for sure – Bow Wow isn’t getting anywhere near Dr. Dre levels of cash flow anytime soon!
His Earnings from Instagram Followers
Though Bow Wow is not as active on social media like he was back in 2011, he has a verified Instagram page that still receives hundreds of thousands of views. One fan, who had no idea that it was actually Bow Wow’s account, said that she found his posts hilarious and was also quite impressed with how attractive he looks. On average, each view can earn him up to $0.07 cents per click depending on whether or not he uses sponsored ads (in which case he would make more per click). So, if Bow Wow gets at least 500k followers within a year (which is possible), then his annual earnings from Instagram could be around $35k. That adds up to over half a million dollars within five years!
