Plies Net Worth $14 Million
Algernod Lanier Washington‘s home is Fort Meyers, Florida, US, where he was born on July 1, 1976. Plies never was thinking about becoming a musician while studying at Fort Myers Senior High School – actually he was much more interested in football and played in the team.
The musical career which helped Plies to build his own net worth started after 1990, when together with his stepbrother Ronnel Lawrence Lavatte (or simply Big Gates) they established their own record label which was entitled Big Gates Records.
Then Plies started to work with Slip-n-Slide Records, and they released the debut album of Plies and also next two ones. The debut of Plies as a rapper whch increased his net worth and let him continue his successful career as a musician, was in 2007, when he released “The Real Testament”. The first try definitely was successful – it hit number 2 on US Billboard 200, and more than 96,000 copies were sold in the first week after the release date. In the next year Plies was able to release two albums – “Definition of Real” and “Da REAList”. Both of them were extremely successful in the United States, and then also in the rest of the world, and Plies’s net worth just got bigger in hese few years.
However, time has shown that Plies did not plan to become a star for one day, as he has managed to stay among the most popular artists for many years and raise his net worth even more. After “Gone Affiliated” was released, Plies succeeded in the world of music and show business even more, especially because the song “Kitty Kitty” was written together with another extremely famous rapper, Trey Songz.
Of course, with such a great career Plies had to be recognised by fellow artists, and therefore nominated for several awards. He received the Ozone Award in year 2007 for the “Best Rap/R&B Collaboration” together with T-Pain, so now you can better imagine how to answer the question about how rich is Plies. He is one of the wealthiest personalities among musicians from United States, and Plies’s net worth today is so incredibly high that he is known by every rap music lover in the world.
Now you know everything about the net worth which Plies has been able to establish thanks to his amazingly hard work as a rapper.
