Post Malone set to headline Coachella 2025 — made most of his $50 million fortune from live gigs

Rapper, singer, and record producer, Post Malone is all set to headline the most anticipated music festival, Coachella 2025, according to Rolling Stone. Malone, who recently announced his "Big Ass Stadium Tour 2025," is expected to headline the coveted Sunday slots of the festival. 

The publication reported that Malone will play a mix of career-defining hits, and some music from his country album F-1 Trillion. The event will also serve as a precursor to his own musical tour that will kick off in April 2025. Malone last performed at Coachella in 2018, closing out the Sahara tent. Last year, the event was headlined by stars like Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, and Doja Cat.

Malone is perhaps best known for breaking Michael Jackson's 34-year-old record for most weeks on Billboard's Top R&B and Hip-Hop Albums chart. Malone’s "Stoney" in 2018 reached its 77th week on the chart while Jackson's "Thriller" made the chart for 76 weeks. Some of Malone's collaborations include the track "Sunflower" with Swae Lee for the 2018 film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," "Goodbyes" featuring Young Thug, and 2023's "What You Say" with YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

The rapper, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer has an estimated net worth of $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Malone rose to fame with his genre-bending blend of hip-hop, pop, and rock. His debut single, "White Iverson" in 2015, resonated with the listeners and became a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Recently, Esquire Magazine debuted its new cover story featuring Post Malone. In the interview, the rapper talked about his new album Austin and shared an interesting incident where he almost lost his $600,000 diamond fang. Malone described that he had dropped the tooth ornament in a sewer in Rome while eating Chicken McNuggets. However, he was able to retrieve it with the help of some DIY tools.

Malone receives more royalties as compared to other artists as he is the principal songwriter of his projects. He makes about $500,000 per concert and his earnings from touring are estimated to be $1.3 million per city in the same year. Malone earned $60 million from his various sources in 2019-20.

Malone has also signed sponsorship deals with HyperX, True Religion, and Bud Light. His Bud Light partnership has been earning him millions. He has appeared in a Super Bowl ad for the brand and performed at various Bud Light events such as their “Bud Light: Dive Bar concerts.” He has also released a limited-time fashion collection with the brand that went on sale in August 2019.

Malone majorly invested in the collective esports and gaming company Envy Gaming and later became a co-owner. He is also known to have designed the exterior of a Raising Canes restaurant in Midvale, Utah. Further, he has his music festival, “Posty Fest,” which was sold out in its debut year 2018, even before the lineup was announced.
