From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Daddy Yankee – $100 Million

One global banger, and the world never said “Gasolina” the same again. Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, better known as Daddy Yankee, was born February 3, 1976, and helped turn reggaetón from street sound to stadium music. His album “Barrio Fino” dominated the 2000s, and “Despacito” in 2017 took over literally every dance floor on the planet.

By 2024, he had stacked a $100 million fortune from music, tours, and endorsements. He wrapped up his final tour, “La Última Vuelta,” in 2023 and stepped away from the spotlight to focus on his Christian faith. No scandal or trend ever defined him; only beats that moved the world.
