THE WEEKND—EST. $90 MILLION

The weeknd was born on February 16, 1990 in Toronto, Canada. As a child, he was accompanied by his grandmother. Since childhood, he has been exposed to a variety of music, such as rock, punk, hip-hop and so on, which laid the foundation for his future music development. Singer and songwriter Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, who is more popularly known as The Weekend (which is infinitely easier to pronounce) is worth $90 million.

Much of his success is because of rapper Drake, who, to a huge degree, raved about the man’s work to his fans and followers. He started on Youtube, releasing his work for free. This was what garnered him a lot of fans and, eventually, the attention of Drake. Now, though, he’s one of the most mainstream artists in the music industry, creating albums and collaborating with numerous other artists like Kanye West, Ariana Grande, and other popular artists.
