What is Bobby Shmurda’s net worth?

Despite Shmurda’s viral success, it seems the years he’s spent behind bars has cost him.

He is believed to have a net worth of around $400,000, after years of forking out for legal fees.

The Brooklyn-rapper reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his 2014 single ‘Hot *****’, that debuted Shmurda’s signature ‘Shmoney dance’.

Shmurda remains signed to Epic Records who were set to release his debut album in 2016 before it was postponed due to his incarceration.

The 26-year-old has continued to make music during his prison time, notably on disgraced rapper 6ix 9ine’s song ‘STOOPID’, where he recorded his verse over a prison telephone.

Who is Bobby Shmurda?

Bobby Shmurda, real name Ackquille Jean Pollard, is an American rapper and songwriter, born in Miami, Florida.

His family moved to East Flatbush in Brooklyn after his father was incarcerated.

He is best known for the ‘Shmoney Dance’ and has been labelled a “pioneer” of Brooklyn drill music after the song, sampling Llyod Banks’ ‘Jackpot’, and its accompanying dance went viral.


Shmurda was arrested in New York on December 18, 2014, and charged with conspiracy to murder, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment.

In 2016, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison. The two years he awaited trial reduced it to five years.

Shmurda was released from the Clinton Correctional Facility on February 23, 2021 and was reportedly picked up by his friends in a private jet.
