Early Life and Career Information

Lil Pump was born on August 17, 2000 in Miami, Florida, to Colombian parents. His parents divorced when he was six years old, after which his mother moved to Miami.
Right from his childhood, Lil Pump was always passionate about music and rapping. When he was thirteen years old, he was introduced to rapper Omar Pineiro, popularly known as Smokepurpp, by his cousin, Lil Ominous.
The introduction marked the beginning of his rise in the music industry, as the duo went on to become successful collaborators. Not only did Lil Pump feature Smokepurpp in his debut mixtape, but the rappers also co-headlined the 2016’s No Jumper tour.
Like many budding rappers, Lil Pump first became popular on Soundcloud. By the time he released his self-titled debut album, he was already a valuable brand. The album achieved incredible success, peaking at the #2 spot on the US R&B/Hip-Hop and US Rap charts, as well as #3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
In addition to his debut album, Lil Pump released another album on February 22, 2019, titled Harverd Dropout. When asked about the inspiration behind the naming of his second album, Lil Pump said that he named it in tribute to Harvard University. According to the rapper, he was once accepted into Harvard University.
However, he felt that continuing with his education would derail his ambitions of pursuing his career in rapping. So, he dropped out of the institution but still decided to pay tribute to it. The name Harverd was conveniently chosen to resonate with Harvard, while avoiding potential legal issues.
Of course, these claims remain rumors, as information has since emerged that the rapper might not have attended the Harvard Medical School, after all. That’s especially considering that he never even graduated from high school.
Lil Pump’s Net Worth
As of July 1st, 2021, Lil Pump had a net worth of $8 million. He owes a substantial portion of his net worth to album sales. It’s worth noting that Pump has earned much of his wealth over the last two years. In 2017, his net worth stood at a paltry $1 million. However, that improved drastically, thanks to his $8 million recording contract with Warner Bros. Records.
According to the terms of the contract, Lil Pump would get $8 million in advance. After that, he would receive $9,000 during the first year and $12,000 in the second year. From there, the contract pays him $15,000 annually through the seventh year. But that’s not all. The rapper received a 14% share of his royalties in the U.S.
In addition to album sales, it’s safe to assume that Lil Pump also earns some decent cash from monetized videos and campaigns on his social media platforms, particularly on YouTube. By September, 2018, the rapper had racked up over 11 million subscribers and just under 2 billion views on YouTube.
Besides YouTube, Lil Pump’s songs have also performed exceptionally well on Spotify. He enjoys more than 1 billion streams on the platform. On September 22, 2018, his single with Kanye West, I Love It, topped the streaming songs chart, garnering 46 million streams just on its first week.

The importance of originality is another crucial life lesson from Lil Pump. While his hyperactive public profile has been a subject of controversy, it’s the very thing that defines the rapper.
