Published Dec. 21 2022, 10:53 a.m. ET
Most people associate Jermaine Dupri with the record label So So Def. However, Jermaine’s contributions to hip-hop extend far beyond the role of a record executive.
Jermaine grew up with music in his blood, thanks to his father, Michael Mauldin, being a music executive at Columbia Records. Naturally, Jermaine opted for a music career and has since been behind the success of acts including ‘90s male hip-hop duo Kriss Kross, ‘90s girl group Xscape, pop music icon Mariah Carey, and many more.
Seeing that Jermaine has such an extensive résumé of wins throughout his career, most folks think that he’s rolling in dough. However, Jermaine's net egg may not be as cushy as most would think.
So, what is Jermaine Dupri’s net worth? Here’s everything that we know.
Jermaine Dupri's net worth is in the millions.
As of this writing, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Jermaine has a net worth of $2.5 million. This figure reflects his work as an actor, producer, songwriter, rapper, and record label owner.
Throughout Jermaine's tenure in the music industry, he helped produced Xscape’s platinum-selling debut album “Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha,” Mariah’s “The Emancipation of Mimi” project, Usher’s “Confessions” album (which sold more than 15 million copies), and more.
Also, Jermaine has production credits on projects for Bow Wow, Da Brat, Boyz II Men, Monica, Weezer, Jay-Z, Tamar Braxton, Lil Wayne, and plenty more artists.
With that said, it’s easy to see why folks believe that Jermaine should have a higher net worth. However, he may see a slight spike due to a recent concert where he reunited with one of his many collaborators.

“One of the highlights of my weekend was @mariahcarey and miss @therealdebbieallen allowing my daughter Jalynn to be in her Christmas concert @thegarden. Ironically, she’s 12 which is the same age I was when I went on the fresh fest. That's crazy!!” Jermaine wrote on Instagram.
Jermaine also shared various posts of Jalynn with Mariah’s twins, Monroe and Moroccan, kicking it backstage. He posted a special clip of himself, Mariah, and moments from the event on Instagram.
