Azealia Banks has been in the music industry for the better part of her life, having even attended one of the most prestigious art high schools in the world, the LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts (which counts notable alumni such as Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Aniston and even Liza Minnelli), but it wasn't until 2012 that Azealia Banks' net worth truly began rising.
It was in 2012 when Banks' debut song, "212," saw her taking the first steps into major recognition, and besides boosting Azealia Banks' net worth, the single gave her a chance to launch her first studio album in 2014.
Following last year's "Broke with Expensive Taste," Azealia Banks' net worth took a giant leap, as the singer became one of the hottest new things in rap, in an often male-dominated industry that's only now seeing more women taking the driving seat, such as herself, Minaj and Australian singer Iggy Azalea.
A few months back, Azealia Banks' net worth became the subject of controversy for the first time, after the rapper used her Playboy Magazine cover to discuss how she "hated America," which prompted waves of controversy coming her way.
Now, Banks is yet again at the center of controversy after TMZ got hold of a clip of the singer from last Monday, where Banks lost control of herself and started yelling at a couple during a Delta airline flight, pushing a man and calling the flight attendant on the scene a homophobic slur - you can watch the clip below, though it has some explicit language.
Could this major faux-pas damage Azealia Banks' net worth or her future earnings?
According to Billboard, after the video was published, it obviously went viral, with Banks' name becoming a trending topic on Twitter as well as Google Trends - which prompted the "Chasing Time" rapper to make her Twitter account private, which in turn caused the social network to take away her verified mark.
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Azealia Banks' net worth at $3 million.
