Popular American rapper Louis Johnson is known under his stage name King Louie or simply King L. He made a lot money since his first mixtape came out back in 2007. King Louie’s net worth is estimated to be around $2 million as of 2023. He’s signed to Epic Records since 2012. Let’s take a look on his success on Chicago hip hop scene.
How Did King Louie Get So Rich?
Louie was born December 27, 1987 in Chicago, Illinois. This metropolitan area with large black population is one of the hip hop hubs, definitely placing second only to Atlanta, Georgia. King Louie soon made a name with his catchy mixtapes, such as Drilluminati, Jeep Music, and Show Time. He also collaborated with other artists, such as Chief Keef, Kanye West, and Lil Herb.
For 2015, everyone is already eagerly expecting his new Drilluminati 3: God of Drill. This should further boost his net worth. It’s hard to believe it today, but King L had really tough beginnings. He was selling his mixtapes from his car trunk. Later, he was making his own music videos and uploading them on YouTube to gain some attention.
All this hard work and invested time certainly paid off. He made the breakthrough he always dreamed will come one day. Times had changed since his deal with Epic Records in 2012. King Louie has a tattoo of deceased friend Pac Man on his neck.
