Big Chief Girlfriend

If you’re a fan of Street Outlaws you know who Big Chief is and you probably know a bit about his personal life. At the end of 2017, he divorced his wife and soon after began dating Jackie Braasch publicly. So, who is Big Chief’s girlfriend and how much is she worth?

Big Chief’s Girlfriend: Jackie Braasch

Big Chief got married extremely young. He and Alicia Shearer met one another when he was 18. After years of marriage, Big Chief and Shearer decided to call it quits. Not long afterward, he began publicly dating Braasch.

Chief and Braasch have more in common than he and his late wife did. Braasch is a racing driver like Big Chief. It is assumed the couple met at a racing event and hit it off from there.

She has been enamored with racing since she was a child. Her father, a racer, introduced her to the scene and she began racing at the age of eight. Braasch grew up watching races and working on cars with her dad, which led her to pursue a career in racing for herself. Her sister, Erin, is also a racecar driver.

During her career, Braasch has competed in a number of races and has won championships as well. In May 2015, she became a Car Chix girl and regularly competes in Car Chix competitions. All of this led her to her current relationship with Big Chief and the occasional appearance on Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws but how has it all impacted her net worth?

Braasch’s Net Worth

There are no solid figures where Braasch’s net worth is concerned. However, it is safe to assume she has a net worth sitting in the six figures. Because she and Chief aren’t married, his $2 million net worth has no impact on her finances whatsoever.

Her estimated six-figure net worth stems from her prize earnings as well as mechanical work she’s done. Outside of her relationship with Big Chief, she hasn’t spent any time in the spotlight to have incredible earnings so her net worth is relatively modest.

One thing that definitely contributes to her overall wealth is the value of her Dragster, which she uses to win races. Typically, a top fuel dragster engine (by itself) is worth around $58,000, not to mention any additional modifications she’s made.

It is not yet known how Big Chief might impact her wealth but, for now, Braasch is content keeping their relationship low-key. If the pair does decide to get married, she will share wealth with Chief. However, it is important to note he will likely also have additional bills, including alimony and child support, should the pair ever get married.

For now, the couple is happily dating and both are continuing to do what they love: race.

What do you think about Big Chief’s girlfriend? Do you think they’ll eventually get married?

Kodak Black’s Net Worth

Kodak Black Net Worth

Hip-hop and rap have consistently grown in popularity in recent years. Because of this, rappers are some of the most wealthy people in the world. However, that isn’t the case with every performer. While many of them are worth millions, others only have a few hundred thousand dollars to their name. So, what is Kodak Black’s net worth?

About Kodak Black

If you haven’t heard of him before, Kodak Black is an American rapper. He is one of the younger performers in the game. Kodak Black was born Dieuson Octave on June 11, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Fla. Both of his parents were immigrants from Haiti and Octave spent most of his life being raised in low-income housing in Pompano Beach.

Kodak Black started rapping at a young age. In elementary school, he began going to a local trap house to record music after school. When he wasn’t recording, he enjoyed reading dictionaries and thesauruses to expand his vocabulary.

His youth was troubled, however. Kodak frequently participated in breaking and entering with his friends. He was also known to get into fights. In the fifth grade, he was expelled for fighting. By the time he was in middle school, he was arrested for stealing a car. Kodak always said he was only given two options in life: sell drugs or rap.

Kodak began using the nickname “Black” or “Lil Black” at the age of six. When he joined Instagram later in life, he chose the username “Kodak Black.” Eventually, this became his stage name.

Kodak’s Career

Kodak Black Net Worth

In 2009, Kodak Black joined a group called Brutal Youngnz. At the time, he used the stage name J-Black. He then moved on to join another local rap group called The Kolyons.

After being a member of these groups, Kodak began working on his own music and image. In December 2013, he released his first mixtape called Project Baby. One year later he released Heart of the Projects. And, staying consistent with his annual releases, put out the third mixtape in December 2015 called Institution.

In October 2015, Drake posted a video of himself dancing to one of Kodak’s songs. This helped the young rapper gain some popularity. Moving into 2016, Kodak was featured on one of French Montana’s songs called Lockjaw. It hit number 23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

That year had a number of other great career moves for Kodak as well. His single Skrt reached number 10 on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles” chart and his fourth mixtape (Lil B.I.G. Pac – relased in June 2016) reached number 49 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Since then, the rapper has released a number of singles and one new mixtape (released in 2018). He has continued to climb the charts, but that success hasn’t done much for the way he lives his life.

Controversy

2017 had a rough start for Kodak Black. In January, he broadcast and Instagram Live video of himself and several other men while a single woman performed oral sex on each of them. During the broadcast, his Instagram account hit an all-time high. After being called out about sexual assault and the video, Kodak posted to Twitter saying, “If I could change I swear I would .. I tried everything but I’m just so hood.”

Later that year he wrote on Instagram about his preferences with women. According to Kodak, he prefers light-skinned women over those with darker skin. Quite a few people on the internet called for Kodak to delete his social media accounts. On top of these controversies, it seems Kodak has had a hard time staying out of trouble as well.

Trouble With The Law

As a minor, Kodak Black was placed into a youth detention center three times in a single year. Eventually, he was placed on probation. Since then, he has been in-and-out of jail and seems to consistently stay in trouble with the police. Overall, he has had at least 11 court cases with rather serious charges, including sexual assault, possession of marijuana, battery, false imprisonment of a child, armed robbery, and assault.

In January 2018, Kodak was arrested again after his home in Florida was raided. A few good things came out of his incarceration though. While in jail, Kodak was able to earn his GED. He also found religion while he was locked up. During his time in jail, he began to identify as a Hebrew Israelite. In May 2018, he officially changed his name to Bill Kahan Kapri (Kahan means priest in Hebrew).

Even if Kodak hasn’t been able to stay out of trouble, there is no doubt he’s accrued some wealth through performances and sales. So, what is Kodak Black’s net worth?

Kodak Black Net Worth: $2 Million

Kodak Black Net Worth

As you may have guessed, Kodak isn’t as wealthy as some of the other rappers out there and his wealth pales in comparison to performers like Jay-Z (estimated to be worth $900 million). But, when you consider the fact that Kodak hasn’t been signed to any record labels, his numerous court fees, and lavish lifestyle, his $2 million net worth is predictable.

What’s crazy is Kodak makes an estimated $182,900 per month from his YouTube channel. When you factor in his record sales, he should be rolling in the dough. His first No. 1 album (Dying To Live) sold 89,000 album units. The week it came out, it was the most streamed album. The Project Baby and Painting Pictures are his second and third most successful albums, respectively. However, he has squandered quite a bit of his cash on his lavish lifestyle.

Kodak Black’s Lifestyle

Kodak Black’s net worth has been largely impacted the way he lives his life. Obviously, he has spent quite a bit of money making his legal troubles go away. On top of that, the rapper can be seen popping bottles of champagne and doing drugs on social media. He has also sent quite a bit of cash on his home and cars.

He owns a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom mansion in Pembroke Pines, Fla. Zillow values his home around $885,808. The value of his home makes up a large portion of his overall net worth. Other possessions contribute to his wealth as well.

The rapper owns a number of cars. His red BMW X6 is valued at $66,245. On top of that, Kodak also owns a Rolls Royce Ghost (prices starting at $311,900) and a souped-up orange Cutlass with gold rims.

A portion of Kodak’s wealth also goes to paying child support and for other needs of his 3-year-old son. The child is mothered by his previous girlfriend, Jammiah Broomfield. Kodak was not aware of the child until he turned one year old.

Outside of his son, Kodak also gives some money to his mom. He even bought her a Mercedes. He also has a girlfriend who is known to the internet as “Cuban Doll.” The couple can be seen on social media kissing, hugging, and partying much of the time. There have been rumors that Cuban Doll and Kodak may break up but only time will tell.

How Much Is Dave Chappelle’s Wife Worth?

December 13, 2018 By Leave a Comment

Dave Chappelle wife

Dave Chappelle reemerged in the comedy scene in 2017. Many people were happy to see the comedian back on stage and doing what he does best: telling jokes. Now that he’s back in the spotlight, people have been wondering about Chappelle’s life during his time off. More importantly, people are wondering about Dave Chappelle’s wife and their finances.

Who is Dave Chappelle’s Wife?

Chappelle and his wife, Elaine, took a step back from the spotlight after the comedian had a few rough shows. Elaine and Chappelle have been married since 2001. She was born in New York in 1974 and is of Phillippine descent.

The couple shares three children; two boys, and one girl. Although they have been married for 17 years and were in a long-term relationship prior to tying the knot, there isn’t much publicly-shared information about Dave Chappelle’s wife outside of stories Chappelle shares on stage.

Chappelle is a well-known family man, although his comedy doesn’t always reflect that. After becoming famous for his work on The Chappelle Show, the fanbase for the comedian’s raunchy-style of comedy grew. However, he made a conscious decision to walk away from the fame and popularity the show brought him.

The Chappelle Show began controlling every aspect of the comedian’s life. Right before officially leaving the show behind, he had a minor melt-down on stage in front of a live audience. The show was scheduled to launch its third season when Chappelle decided to take a hiatus in South Africa.

Of course, after his departure, media rumors began that Chappelle left his wife and had turned to a life of drugs. Seeing this, Elaine was angered and shocked but she wanted to shield her husband from the media. Because of this, she urged him to stay in South Africa for an extended period of time, allowing the media onslaught to die down a bit.

He was out of the spotlight for years and years. Many people wondered about what the star was doing during this time and how he was recovering from his melt-down. During this difficult time, Elaine was Chappelle’s rock. She supported him every step of the way until he decided to take to the stage again. In 2017, he appeared for the first time in his very own Netflix comedy special.

How Much is Dave Chappelle’s Wife Worth?

Netflix offered up $60 million to Chappelle for three comedy specials on the streaming service. While he hits the stage, his wife enjoys staying at home with their three children. Although she had dreams of becoming a chef as a child, she decided after having children she would receive more joy staying home with her children. The family is often together during red carpet events. Together, Chappelle and his wife have a net worth of around $50 million.

Most of their wealth has stemmed from the booming popularity of The Chappelle Show and Chappelle’s loyal fans. During his hiatus, he still maintained a social media presence and continued to share moments of his life with followers. Not much of Chappelle’s cash has come from endorsements or lucrative deals though, as he has been out of the spotlight for so long.

However, Chappelle has also acted in a number of films, which have each contributed to his net worth. He first appeared in film long before the couple met in 1993 in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Chappelle is also famous for his role in the comedy Half Baked. His latest film appearance was in 2015 in a Spike Lee satire called Chi-Raq. His earnings from these haven’t been phenomenal but they have contributed to his net worth, and subsequently Elaine Chappelle’s wealth, over the years.

Their 65-Acre Farm

A portion of the couple’s wealth can also be attributed to assets. Dave, Elaine, and their children live on a 65-acre farm with an estimated value of $2.5 million. Their home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, perfect size for their family. The farm is located in Yellow Springs, OH and the family leads a modest life there. In fact, after turning down the $50 million contract with Comedy Central, Chappelle made a statement about choosing to live in a small town.

“Turns out you don’t need $50 million to live around these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you,” the comedian said. “You guys are the best neighbors ever. That’s why I came back and that’s why I’m staying.” Although Chappelle grew up in Silver Spring, Md, he spent summers in Yellow Springs with his father. This nostalgia made him want to raise his family there.

Other Sources of Income

As mentioned above, Chappelle hasn’t landed any major endorsement deals. However, he has been putting some thought into diversifying his income. In 2010, he was looking into becoming a landlord before a sale fell through on a $470,000 strip mall with a number of businesses. Once the sale fell through, Chappelle has not revisited the idea of managing a property that way. With the new cash from Netflix, there’s no telling what plans he may have for the future.

The couple seems to be embracing the return to the spotlight, and there is no doubt that if Chappelle continues to produce additional standup material that he’ll bring home even more cash. For now, Dave Chappelle and his wife have no plans of changing their current way of life – outside of doing a bit more travel, that is.
