André 3000 net worth has never been confirmed by him or by any reliable outlet, so we do not print a number. What is on record is a career that pays in unusual ways for a rap legend.
He is half of the duo behind the best-selling rap album ever certified, yet his 2023 solo album has no rapping at all. In 2026 he signed with Moncler and joined a Netflix series.
Here is what can be checked as of November 2026, with a source for each figure.
André 3000 net worth: what is on record
Most totals you see online for André 3000 net worth are round numbers with no source. His royalty share, deal fees and savings have never been published.
A later Atlanta-area rapper hits the same wall. Our Offset net worth guide follows his Migos chart run and Motown solo albums without inventing a total.
So this guide sticks to income that can be checked. The table sums it up.

How much did OutKast earn him?
OutKast is still the base of his income. On September 29, 2023, the RIAA certified Speakerboxxx/The Love Below 13 times platinum. That put it ahead of The Eminem Show as the best-selling hip-hop album in RIAA history [2].
The 2003 double album won album of the year at the Grammys in 2004 [1]. The duo was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 8, 2025, with Donald Glover giving the introduction [1].
How royalties are split between him, Big Boi and the label has never been made public. Big catalog numbers rarely come with a verified fortune. Our Rick Ross net worth guide, from Maybach Music to Wingstop shows another rap star whose total stays unconfirmed.
Did New Blue Sun make money?
In November 2023 he released New Blue Sun, a flute album with no rapping. The Grammy Museum calls it the first instrumental album to land on the Billboard 200. Its opening track set the record for the longest song to debut on the Hot 100 [4].
It earned three Grammy nominations, including album of the year, two decades after OutKast won that award [3][4].
He took it on the road in 2024. The first run opened in Brooklyn on January 29 and included two shows a night at the Blue Note in New York [5]. Ticket grosses for these shows were not published.
Late Grammy runs can lift any catalog. Rod Wave’s net worth guide looks at a newer artist built on album sales and touring.
What brand deals has André 3000 signed?
In January 2012 Gillette put him in its Masters of Style campaign with Adrien Brody and Gael García Bernal. The ads promoted the $19.99 Fusion ProGlide Styler, WWD reported [8].
In November 2026 Moncler added him to its Re/Icons campaign, shot by Gabriel Moses. The film uses unreleased music by him, his first release in more than a year, Hypebeast reported [9]. Neither brand has said what it paid.
What happened to Benjamin Bixby?
He launched the menswear line Benjamin Bixby in 2008, inspired by 1930s college sports. New York magazine reported 70 pieces and said the line was self-funded while he looked for a partner [6].
That September the line launched at Harrods in London, WWD reported [7]. Sales figures were never released. Moncler still named Bixby in its 2026 campaign notes [9].
Does acting add to his income?
Screen work is a steady side line. He created Class of 3000, which ran on Cartoon Network from 2006 to 2008 [10]. He also played Jimi Hendrix in Jimi: All Is By My Side and earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination [11].
In August 2026 he joined Netflix’s Scooby-Doo: Origins in a recurring role. The live-action series was filming in Atlanta for a 2027 release [10][11]. His fee was not reported.
Musicians who act rarely publish their pay. Will Smith’s path from rap to film studios is the big exception, and Timothée Chalamet’s paychecks, from Wonka to his Bob Dylan film show how film fees get reported.
What is André 3000 working on next?
Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo told Stereogum in October 2026 that he and André 3000 recorded a quintet album together. Ranaldo said it was not clear when or if it would come out [12].
Before the Moncler music, his last release was the 2025 EP 7 Piano Sketches [9][10].
