The Game Net Worth: Did a $7.13M Lawsuit Cut Into His Fortune?

Jayceon Terrell Taylor, professionally known as The Game, is an American rapper who rose to fame in the early 2000s after being discovered by record producer Dr. Dre. His 2005 debut album, The Documentary, was a massive success, peaking at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200.

Two of the album’s hit singles, “How We Do” and “Hate It or Love It,” ft. 50 Cent was credited with the revival of the West Coast hip-hop scene.

The Game isn’t as popular today as he once was in the early 2000s, but he’s still fairly active in the music industry. He continues to release music independently, with his most recent albums Time and Paisley Dreams released in 2024.

The Game has managed to maintain a steady income stream through music royalties, touring, business ventures, and endorsements throughout his 20+ year career, contributing to a multi-million dollar net worth. Let’s take a closer look at The Game’s net worth, as well as the different income streams.

What Is The Game’s Net Worth? 

The Game’s exact net worth is somewhat of a mystery. While some sources claim that The Game’s net worth is no more than $10 million, the rapper insisted that his assets alone far exceed that figure.

“I got like a $2 million shoe collection and I live in a $5 million home, and that’s just that alone.” The Game said when asked about his $10 million net worth estimation during a 2022 interview on 350 With Speedy Morman.

In the same interview, The Game states that the only reason he isn’t a billionaire is that he didn’t want to be. “If I felt like being a billionaire tomorrow, I’d just put the work in and be a billionaire,” he claimed.

The Game is also a firm believer that money is meant to be spent and not saved. “I don’t believe in, like, saving your money. Like, for what?” he commented, in reference to the fact that he had spent over $1 million on Balenciaga shoes in less than 6 months.

It’s unknown whether The Game’s spending habits positively or negatively contribute to his net worth. After all, many of the items he purchases could be seen as a long-term investment.

At the same time, reputable sources like CelebrityNetWorth state that The Game’s net worth is closer to $5 million than it is to $10 million.

One of the likely reasons behind the drop in net worth is the several million dollars he still owes from the $7 million lawsuit filed by Priscilla Rainey, who accused him of sexually assaulting her during the production of his 2015 VH1 reality show “She’s Got Game.”

The Game Accidentally Revealed His $13 Million Bank Account 

In 2016, The Game donated $500,000 to residents affected by the Flint water crisis as a way to encourage other celebrities to do the same. He remarked that Jimmy Fallon and Madonna’s meager $10,000 donation was “cute” and wouldn’t make nearly as much impact as the crisis demanded.

He included a screenshot of his $500,000 donation as proof, which also revealed his available balance of $13 million. The revelation sparked debate about The Game’s actual net worth, with many speculating that the $13 million balance shown is only one of several bank accounts the rapper holds.

Music Career 

As of 2025, The Game’s discography consists of 10 studio albums, six compilation albums, two soundtrack albums, 31 singles, and 15 mixtapes.

The Game’s 2005 debut album, The Documentary, peaked at #1 on the US Billboard 200 and has sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide, reaching double platinum status. To this day, The Documentary remains The Game’s best-selling album and was a major contributor to where he is today.

The Game’s follow-up album, Doctor’s Advocate (2006), also achieved commercial acclaim despite his public feud with 50 Cent and departure from G-Unit.

He continued to release several albums in the years that followed, including LAX in 2008, The R.E.D. Album in 2010, Jesus Piece in 2012, and The Documentary 2 and The Documentary 2.5 in 2015. Most of these albums received critical acclaim, but never to the extent that The Documentary did.

According to several sources, The Game sold over 5 million albums worldwide.

His most recent albums, Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind (2022), Time (2024), and Paisley Dreams (2024), didn’t generate the same level of impact or sales as his debut projects.

Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind, produced by Kanye West and featuring guest appearances by ASAP Rocky, Chloe Bailey, Meek Hill, Big Sean, YoungBoy NBA, and Rick Ross, debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and is considered the lowest-selling album of his career.

During a 2024 interview on the Tacos and Shawarma podcast, The Game confirmed that The Documentary 3 is in the works. “I’m gonna go hard and I’ma drop it the same day that the other one dropped,” he said, then acknowledged the high expectations fans will have for the release. “I’m up for the challenge. It’s gonna be tough.”

The Documentary was released on January 18, 2005, so fans were rightfully disappointed when January 2025 came and went without a mention of the anticipated album.

As of September 2025, fans are still waiting for the promised third installment. Will The Documentary 3 be the album The Game needs to bring him back to the spotlight and catapult his net worth to new heights? Only time will tell.

Tours 

A significant portion of The Game’s wealth has come from touring. During the peak years of his career (2008 to 2015), The Game has earned nearly $13 million from live performances and ticket sales alone.

His L.A.X. tour in 2008 grossed around $3 million, while his annual club tours in the early 2010s consistently brought in between $2 million and $2.5 million each year.

During a 2022 interview with Speedy Morman, The Game admitted to turning down a $7 million tour so he could level up on the video game NBA 2K.

“What’s the biggest check you’ve ever turned down?” Speedy Morman had asked.

“I turned down like a $6 to $7 million tour because I was trying to hit legend on 2K,” The Game replied, stating that he turned it down because he didn’t feel like going on tour at that time. “It’s all about what makes you happy,” he explained, “And I wasn’t even emotionally there.”

Currently, the game is performing across 18 countries for The Documentary 20th Anniversary Tour for 2025, showcasing a mix of recent releases and classic hits.

Ticket prices for The Game’s 2025 concert start at around $100, with average prices close to $265 depending on venue and seat selection. The Game is expected to earn several million dollars on the 2025 tour, though exact estimates aren’t available as of yet.

Royalties and Streaming Revenue 

As with most artists, The Game earns a sizable amount from music royalties and streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. He has 11.5 million monthly listens on Spotify, with “Hate It Or Love It” and “How We Do” amassing 1.5 billion listens combined.

The Game doesn’t have an official YouTube account, but most of his songs uploaded on YouTube have tens of millions of views. “Hate It Or Love It” has nearly 400 million views while “How We Do” has nearly 300 million views.

Film and TV Appearances 

The Game has appeared in several movies and TV shows throughout his career. He appeared in “Change of Heart” (2000), “Waist Deep” (2006), “Tournament of Dreams” (2007), and “Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club” (2008), as well as TV shows like “Made” (2005) and “Change of Heart” (2000).

He appeared as a guest on shows like “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Dana White: Lookin’ For a Fight”, and “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.” He also voiced the character B-Dup in “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (2004).

Additionally, The Game starred and produced the VH1 reality series “Marrying the Game,” which documented his relationship with his ex-fiancée Tiffney Cambridge. The show aired from 2012 to 2014.

Following their breakup, The Game produced and starred in the VH1 reality series “She’s Got Game” in 2015, which centered on The Game finding a romantic partner.

The show started strong with nearly 2 million viewers on the premier episode, but gradually declined to around 1.5 to 1.7 million viewers per episode through the season.

The season finale aired in October 2015 with Rebecca Silvera as the winner, though their relationship after the filming was short-lived.

VH1 decided not to renew “She’s Got Game” for a second season as the viewership started to decline heavily by the end of the show.

Business Ventures 

The Game has several business ventures to his name. Among them is the record label Rolex Labels, which was later renamed Blood Money Entertainment following a lengthy legal battle with Rolex. The label has signed several well-known West Coast rappers, including Sheme and Pharaoh Jackson.

He’s also the co-owner of The Reserve, a licensed medical marijuana dispensary in Santa Ana, California. He actively participated in the development of cannabis strains for cigarettes and drinks, with many named after his own brand.

“I felt a responsibility to my family, and the rest of the cannabis community, to do this the right way,” The Game had said when asked about his business philosophy.

Shoe Collection, Vehicles, and Real Estate 

The Game has invested tens of millions of dollars in his shoe collection, vehicles, and real estate. His shoe collection alone is estimated to have a valuation of $2 million.

As for vehicles, the rapper said, “I own a G Wagon, that’s one of seven cars—or eight, I don’t know. I got four motorcycles and a boat.”

As for real estate, The Game admitted that he was currently living in a $5 million home.

Before that, he used to own a 4,100 square-foot, four-bedroom mansion in Calabasas, California, which he had purchased in 2013 for approximately $1.55 million. The federal court ordered the sale of the Calabas mansion in 2025 after The Game failed to pay off the $7 million sexual assault lawsuit filed by Priscilla Rainey.

The property was on the market for $4 million, which falls short of the amount he was sued for.

$7 Million Sexual Assault Lawsuit 

In 2016, TV personality and YouTube star Priscila Rainey filed a lawsuit accusing The Game of sexually assaulting her during his VH1 reality dating TV show “She’s Got Game.” After repeatedly failing to appear in court, the judge awarded Rainey $7.13 million in 2018.

The Game denied all allegations and even went so far as to claim that he’d never pay that amount.

After failing to drop the lawsuit, The Game sued Viacom for $20 million in 2017, claiming that the network failed to vet Rainey’s background. The judge dismissed the lawsuit in 2018 and also ordered The Game to pay the company’s $32,000 legal fees.

In 2019, Rainey filed a motion to seize The Game’s income. The court agreed and granted her control over The Game’s multiple income streams, which included earnings from his music, tour, and businesses. She was also given ownership of his independent label, Prolific Records.

After he failed yet again to show up in court, Rainey was awarded all royalties from The Game’s 2019 album Born 2 Rap, which some sources claim to be as much as $400,000.

In 2021, Rainey was given the authority to seize earnings from The Game’s Cameo earnings, which generated roughly $19,000.

As of today, The Game is believed to be $3 million in debt.
