In this article
NF, the rapper born Nathan John Feuerstein, has a net worth of $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth (page last updated June 1, 2026). The biggest reason is scale: his label says he has passed 55 billion global streams and sold more than 1.25 million concert tickets, and two of his albums, Perception (2017) and The Search (2019), debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
NF net worth
Celebrity Net Worth is the only major publisher with a figure, and it describes its numbers as estimates built from public data. Forbes has not published an NF estimate. The $20 million figure is best read as an order of magnitude rather than an audited total.
The earlier version of this page included a table that split his earnings into $20 million from album sales, $20 million from touring, $1 million from merchandise and $1.5 million from streaming. Those numbers had no source, and they added up to more than twice the net worth figure, so the table has been removed. The same goes for claims about specific cars and a Nashville house, which we could not verify.
Where NF's money comes from
Streams and record sales
A November 2025 release from his label, distributed via WebWire, credited NF with more than 55 billion combined global streams and 62 RIAA certifications: 28 Platinum and 34 Gold. "Let You Down" alone was certified Platinum by January 2019, according to Wikipedia's account of RIAA records. Streaming pays per play, and a catalog this large keeps paying long after release.
Touring
The same release put his lifetime ticket sales above 1.25 million and said the Hope tour of 2023 and 2024 played sold-out arenas around the world. His tour history runs from the Drop Tour in 2015 through the Therapy Session, Perception, Perception World, The Search, Clouds and Hope tours. Gross receipts for those tours have not been published.
His own label imprint
Since his later releases, NF has put out music through NF Real Music LLC in partnership with Capitol Music Group. The Fear EP was released that way in November 2025. Owning an imprint usually means a bigger share of recording income than a standard artist deal, though the terms are private.
Licensing
His songs have been placed in video games, including Madden NFL 16 and MLB The Show 18, and in a Fox trailer for the series Empire. In February 2026 U.S. Olympic figure skater Ilia Malinin skated a routine to "Fear."

Who is NF?
NF is a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer known for intense, confessional songs about anxiety, grief and family trauma, delivered with fast, precise rapping over cinematic production. He avoids profanity, and he came up through Christian hip-hop, but he has rejected the "Christian rapper" label, saying his faith informs him while his music is about what he is going through. He has named Eminem as his main influence and also cited Adele and Ed Sheeran.
Early life and education
Feuerstein was born on March 30, 1991, in Gladwin, Michigan, the eldest of three children. His parents divorced, and his father later took custody. His mother struggled with opioid addiction and died of an overdose in 2009, which he addressed in the song "How Could You Leave Us." He graduated from Gladwin High School in 2009, where he played basketball.
Parents and siblings
He has two sisters. His childhood, including his mother's addiction and his father's role in raising him, is the core subject of much of his work.
Wife and children
NF began dating Bridgette Doremus in 2015 and married her in September 2018. The earlier version of this page said the couple had no children, which is out of date: their son was born in August 2021 and their daughter in December 2023, according to Wikipedia. He has spoken publicly about being diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder after the 2018 Perception tour and about the depression and anxiety that appear in his songs.
Awards and achievements
- Two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: Perception and The Search
- Dove Award for Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year (2016) for Therapy Session, and Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year (2017) for "Oh Lord"
- 62 RIAA certifications, 28 Platinum and 34 Gold, per his label
The previous version of this page said he won a Billboard Music Award for Top Christian Album; we could not confirm that and have removed it.
Net worth compared
At $20 million, Celebrity Net Worth ranks NF well below Eminem, the artist he is most often compared with. For other music profiles on Celebclan, see Wayne Newton, ATL Jacob and Boo Rossini.
How this figure was reached
Celebrity Net Worth says its numbers come from public data and, where provided, tips from celebrities or their representatives. Record-label terms, touring profit after production costs, taxes and spending are not public, which is why any published figure for a working musician is an estimate. NF has avoided the kind of flashy lifestyle coverage that often feeds these estimates, so there is little public information about his homes or investments.
