Many of the net worth is invested or in homes and things they own.

Lil King G’s net worth is somewhere around 1$ million. Most of his net worth comes from his performances and merchandise he sells with Sucios movement.
Personal life
At age fifteen, Gonzales was already composing and everything around him inspired him, especially the struggle to get out of a world marked by crime.
Then, the sentence of 35 years of prison that his older brother received made him understand that he and his music can make a difference. The challenge was as big as the low world he was trying to get out of.
King Lil G set out to find his place in a musical genre where Latinos do not have much space, with the exception of the Cypress Hill group who has achieved so much recognition.
“My respects to all the artists who are rappers here in the United States, but I think (Hispanics) we have not reached that level but I will do everything in my power to get there,” he confessed.
The career of King Lil G was done in the neighborhood telling the lives of young Hispanics, children of immigrant families who do not know if they are from here or there.
He got his followers to pulse, listening to them and dedicating a great part of his time and songs, to the point that one of his greatest hits “Hopeless Boy” achieved almost eleven million visits on YouTube.
He often says that his music is something similar to the revolutionary movement, I always try to inspire young people and give a lot of intelligence to the Mexican race here.
King Lil G is now releasing his new album “Lost in Smoke 2”, which for the first time includes a song entirely in Spanish, “Ando tattooed”, which talks about the criticism and prejudice that tattooed young people receive.
The rapper considered that the drawings on his skin speak of his life and therefore has a musical note under his eye, the face of his eldest son in the left arm, as well as several symbols of love and deep respect towards the women.
He says that it is very important for me to continue singing in Spanish because I want to send a message to many that they know we are very close.
The artist, who carries the Mexican pride and immigrant impregnated in his being, remembered that his aunts told him: “Mijo, you here in Los Angeles have to be very grateful to be Mexican and you have to be very proud”.
On his next tour of 50 cities in the country, King Lil G wants to emphasize in his message to Latinos about the need to go out and vote and make their voices heard
He once said, that if he tells the entire race not to vote, if we do not join, the next generation of Mexicans or Latinos can be harmed.
From the center of Los Angeles, the city that inspires him, the Hispanic artist wants his community to support him.
He thinks a lot of people doubt that we can succeed, not only in that genre, but here in the United States I need them to support me.
He is currently in a relationship with Kimberly Michelle but he was also involved with Chantelle Castillo few years ago.
Besides his music, Lil King G is active politically and he considers himself the voice of all young Mexicans who don’t think they can succeed in today’s world because of discrimination.
Lil is very active on his social media platforms but also on YouTube. He has around 500 thousand subscribers and over 190 million views on his videos. Fans like to follow his content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
We will certainly see much more from this talented rapper, especially if we are going to see him in directing and movies
. Certainly his musical influence is not only important in a creative way but also in political way because he motivates young Mexicans to achieve anything they dream of in USA.
