Look How Far OutKast Has Come: A Look Into The Astounding Net Worth of Hip Hop Legends

For over two decades, the hip-hop duo OutKast have been making waves in the hip-hop community. Not only have they released classic albums such as ATLiens, Aquemini and Stankonia, but they’ve proven time and time again that they have the staying power to remain relevant in the ever-changing hip-hop world. But what makes OutKast so special? The answer lies in their net worth.

The Early Years of OutKast

OutKast was formed in 1992 by members Antwan “Big Boi” Patton and André “3000” Benjamin. The two quickly connected and began to collaborate, creating a unique sound that was unlike anything else in the hip-hop world at the time. As their sound developed, so did their popularity and before long OutKast were enjoying a massive fanbase that was eager to buy their records and attend their shows.

Breakthrough Albums, Grammy Wins and Record Deals

OutKast’s fourth album, Stankonia, brought them into the mainstream. The album was a massive success, earning them their first Grammy win and earning them their first platinum record. This success was followed up by their next two albums, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and Idlewild, both of which were met with critical acclaim and commercial success.

With their growing fame came more opportunities. OutKast went on to sign deals with various labels, including LaFace, Jive Records and Arista. These deals saw the duo earning millions of dollars and helping them to secure their place in hip-hop history.

The Solo Careers of Big Boi and André 3000

After nearly 10 years together, OutKast announced that they were taking an indefinite hiatus in 2007. During this time, both Big Boi and André 3000 began to pursue solo careers. Big Boi released three solo albums, the last of which was the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

André 3000, meanwhile, has focused more on acting and has appeared in various films, such as the Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side and the movie adaptation of the popular television series, Semi-Pro. He’s also made guest appearances on various tracks, including Jay-Z’s “30 Something”, and is set to star in an upcoming television series on Adult Swim.

The Net Worth of OutKast

It’s no surprise that OutKast are now one of the most successful hip-hop groups in history, with a combined net worth estimated to be around $120 million. This is an astonishing figure, especially considering the group’s humble beginnings in the early 90s.

Both André 3000 and Big Boi have done an impressive job of maintaining their wealth over the years. Despite their individual solo endeavors, they continue to work together on various projects, such as their recent collaboration with Big Grams (an electronic music duo featuring Big Boi and Phantogram) and they are actively involved in philanthropic endeavors.

Future Plans of OutKast

Though it’s been nearly a decade since OutKast have released a full-length album, they continue to remain active in the music industry. They recently confirmed that they will be headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2016 and will also be embarking on a world tour in support of their new album.

The album, which is yet to be titled, will feature both Big Boi and André 3000, though it’s unknown whether it will be a full-length album or a compilation. It’s also unclear whether or not the two will reunite for any future projects, but one thing is for sure: the fans are eagerly awaiting whatever OutKast have in store for the future.

The Legacy of OutKast

No matter what OutKast decide to do in the future, their legacy as one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time is already solidified. With their innovative sound, their Grammy wins and their impressive net worth, OutKast have truly come a long way and will undoubtedly continue to inspire up and coming hip-hop artists for years to come.

Conclusion

OutKast have undoubtedly come a long way since the early 1990s. From their humble beginnings in the Atlanta hip-hop scene to their current status as hip-hop legends, OutKast have proven time and time again that they have the necessary staying power to remain relevant in the ever-changing hip-hop world. With their combined net worth estimated to be around $120 million, it’s no surprise that OutKast are now one of the most successful hip-hop groups in history. Let’s hope that the duo continue to make music together for many years to come.
