His net worth currently stands at a whopping $8 million. He's made nearly all of it from a combination of media activities, including his rapping career, which has included worldwide hits and Billboard number one hits with fellow artists such as Chris Brown, Fetty Wap, and Snoop Dogg.

Some of his fortune has also been made through his own TV show on FXX, titled Dave, which explores his life before he became a rapper. The show is produced by Kevin Hart and for each of the two seasons, it has netted him $1.3 million.

With his music career showing no signs of slowing down and his TV show receiving critical acclaim, both avenues will certainly be adding more to his already-impressive net worth.

Though his song with Fetty Wap, "Save Dat Money," is an unusual take on a rapper's lifestyle that features Lil Dicky bragging about the extreme lengths he goes to so he can save money, he does occasionally enjoying treating himself to luxury items.

For the most part, however, he saves as much possible, and he has a reputation in the music industry for being able to produce music videos with top CGI while coming up with inventive ways to keep the cost very low. In an interview on the Breakfast Club in 2019, Lil Dicky jokingly attributed this to his Jewish heritage.
