American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor Wiz Khalifa boasts a net worth of $70 million. He initially gained fame through his mixtapes, notably “Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania” and “Grow Season,” which highlighted his smooth style and sharp lyrics. His ascent to stardom was marked by the release of the 2010 hit “Black and Yellow,” which soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became a tribute to his Pittsburgh roots.

Early Life

Born Cameron Jibril Thomaz on September 8, 1987, in Minot, North Dakota, Wiz Khalifa’s childhood was influenced by his parents’ military careers; they divorced when he was three. Because of their military obligations, his family moved frequently, living in places like Japan, the U.K., and Germany, before settling in Pittsburgh with his mother in 1996. Shortly after arriving in Pittsburgh, he began writing and performing his own material. At the age of 15, he began recording music, and the studio where he worked allowed him to record a few tracks for free, impressed by his lyrics. By age 16, in 2004, he was discovered by Benjy Grinberg, the founder and president of Rostrum Records, who offered Khalifa a recording and management deal. Rostrum would later sign another rising star from Pittsburgh, Mac Miller.

Career

In 2005, Khalifa released his first mixtape titled “Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania,” followed by his debut album “Show and Prove” in 2006. During that year, Rolling Stone recognized him as an “artist to watch.” He proceeded to release two additional mixtapes with Rostrum Records: “Grow Season” in July 2007 and “Prince of the City 2” in November 2007. The same year, he signed with Warner Bros. Records and brought out the single “Say Yeah.” In September 2008, he unveiled the mixtape “Star Power” and followed it with “Flight School” in April 2009, both through Rostrum Records.

Khalifa parted ways with Warner Bros. Records in the summer of 2009 due to postponements in the release of his intended debut album “First Flight.” His breakout hit was “Black and Yellow,” which climbed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He has since released seven studio albums: “Show and Prove” (2006), “Deal or No Deal” (2009), “Rolling Papers” (2011), “Mac & Devin Go To High School” (2011, with Snoop Dogg), “O.N.I.F.C.” (2012), “Blacc Hollywood” (2014), and “Rolling Papers 2” (2018). Khalifa has also produced a series of successful singles, including “See You Again” featuring Charlie Puth, which achieved number one status in multiple countries as well as “Roll

“Up,” “Young, Wild & Free” (featuring Snoop Dogg and Bruno Mars), “Work Hard, Play Hard,” “We Own It (Fast & Furious)” (with 2 Chainz), and “Sucker for Pain” (collaborating with Lil Wayne, Imagine Dragons, Logic, and Ty Dolla Sign featuring X Ambassadors) are some of Khalifa’s notable works. In early 2015, he appeared on the remix of Fall Out Boy’s song “Uma Thurman.” To promote his album “Rolling Papers 2,” which was released on July 13, 2018, he dropped the single “Pull Up” in May 2016. His seventh studio album, titled “Multiverse,” came out in 2022.

Personal Life

Married from 2013 to 2014 to model Amber Rose, Wiz shares joint custody of their son, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, born in February 2013. After their split, he dated Winnie Harlow for a while before being linked to a later identified “mystery” woman, Aimee Aguilar.

The city of Pittsburgh proclaimed December 12, 2012, as Wiz Khalifa Day.

A staunch advocate for marijuana, Wiz has publicly stated he spends $10,000 monthly on weed and smokes every day. As of early 2014, he receives cannabis for free and is sponsored by The Cookie Company, a medical marijuana dispensary known for selling his “Khalifa Kush” strain, developed in collaboration with RiverRock Cannabis. Additionally, in 2016, he appeared on VH1’s cooking show Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Club, where cannabis was prominently featured in the recipes.

Khalifa started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in May 2017 and soon after began Muay Thai. In April 2023, it was revealed that he would face an undisclosed opponent in his first BJJ match under the High Rollerz ruleset.
