D4vd Was Worth Millions by Age 17 Due to Record Deal
The singer D4vd was worth millions of dollars at the age of 17 due to a record deal.
The R&B singer's star was on the rise due to a popular song, "Romantic Homicide," merchandise, and a concert tour.
The discovery of a missing teen's body in the trunk of his Tesla has ground that to a halt. However, before that investigation, D4vd was reaping a fortune from his music career, and that windfall started when he was a juvenile, according to TMZ.
Although D4vd has not been arrested or charged in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas, 15, a house tied to him was searched by police, his concert tour was cancelled, and music promotions were halted. The teen's cause of death is under investigation.
What Is D4vd's Net Worth for 2025?
The singer's net worth is not definitively clear. Celebrity Net Worth placed D4vd's net worth for 2025 at about $2 million, but it's not clear whether that estimate is accurate.
However, TMZ obtained his initial record contract, which was signed when he was still in high school.

That deal "started to line his pockets with a multi-million dollar advance," according to TMZ. It was with Darkroom and Interscope Records. It was worth a $3 million advance "for an EP, an album, and various other deliverables," according to TMZ.
D4vd received $500,000, and then two other payments, and the contract said "the value could balloon to $6 million if things went well," according to TMZ.
In addition, according to Billboard,D4vd's "overall streams have experienced significant gains" since the death investigation hit the headlines.
D4vd's Music Lyrics & Videos Are Filled With Death Imagery
D4vd is under scrutiny, in part, because of the death imagery in his songs and music videos. For example, one of his music videos shows a body being placed in a trunk (although he's both the victim and perpetrator in that video).
Another music video for his most famous song, "Romantic Homicide," shows him with a bloody shirt and featured a bloodied woman wearing a white dress and lying on a bed. D4vd has said in interviews that the woman's death is not meant to be taken literally.
