Richard Colson Baker was born on 22 April 1990 in Houston, Texas USA, and under the pseudonym of Machine Gun Kelly or MGK, is known as a rapper who has released single ‘’Alice in Wonderland’’, and as an actor he portrayed Wesley in the TV series ‘’Roadies’’.

So just how rich is MGK as of early 2018? According to authoritative sources, this rapper and actor has a net worth of $1.2 million, accumulated from his career in the previously mentioned fields, which began in 2006.

MGK was born to missionary parents, and moved a lot during his formative years, spending time in countries such as Egypt and Germany. MGK’s parents separated, and he lived with his aunt and father, but was bullied by other kids in the neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, where they settled. MGK attended Hamilton Middle School, where he started listening to rap – his role models were Ludacris, Eminem and DMX. However, his father moved, which resulted in MGK living alone in his aunt’s basement, and subsequently he began calling-out older students, and then stopped attending school. It was at that time when he started doing drugs, and produced the song ‘’Stamp of Approval’’, but eventually rose above it and entered the world of stardom on iTunes with his debut single ‘’Alice in Wonderland’’ in May 2010, establishing his net worth.

He quickly gained recognition and followed up with ‘’Lace Up’’, his debut studio album which featured 13 tracks such as ‘’Save Me’’ and the main song ‘’Wild Boy’’, made in collaboration with the critically acclaimed rapper Waka  Flocka Flame, entered the ‘’US Billboard Hot 100’’, peaking at number 98, and in 2012 he was rewarded with MTV Breaking Woodie award. Gaining more attention from the media, MGK was featured in ‘’XXL’’, an American hip hop magazine, then during the following year, MGK released the mixtape ‘’Black Flag’’ – stating that it was dedicated to ‘’love, because for his entire life it has been taken from him’’- and was a 14-track mixtape featuring songs such as ‘’Raise The Flag’’ and ‘’Breaking News’’, as well as ‘’Pe$o’’ made in collaboration with Pusha T and Meek Mill, and ‘’Mind of a Stoner’’ featuring Wiz Khalifa. MGK then produced another album, ‘’General Admission’’, released in 2015 and featuring 13 songs including ‘’Spotlight’’ and ‘’Till I Die’’, with the latter doing fairly well on charts, and entering the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, adding to his net worth.

Besides being a rapper, MGK is also an actor, and in that branch of entertainment has had several projects, most importantly portraying Wesley in 10 episodes of ‘’Roadies’’, alongside Carla Gugino and Luke Wilson. Besides that, he is currently filming ‘’Bird Box’’, and his movie ‘’Captive State’’ will be released in mid-2018.

When it comes to his personal life, MGK troubled background resulted in an addiction to heroin. He even stated that he planned on overdosing on that drug and committing suicide. However, he is clean now and has spoken about his experience in his song ‘’Lead You On’’. In 2008, he fathered a girl named Cassie. He isn’t together with Cassie’s mother, however, they are apparently still on good terms. He later dated model Amber Rose, but is currently single.
