Cody Robert Simpson was born on 11 January 1997 in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Cody had many opportunities to build a career in sports, as he was a medal-winning swimmer. However, his spare time singing in his bedroom has led him to becoming a star on the Internet first, and then in reality. He signed a contract with Atlantic Records when just 12 years old, and he is now already a millionaire.
So just how rich is Cody Simpson? His net worth has been recently estimated to reach $4.5 million, with his wealth having been accumulated principally from singing, but also acting and song writing.
Cody Simpson Net Worth $4.5 Million
Born in Australia to Angie and Brad Simpson, Cody is the oldest child having two siblings. He discovered his calling in 2009, when he started recording and down-loading covers of popular songs on Youtube. Surprisingly, his covers to the songs of Justin Timberlake and Jason Mraz have collected thousands of views worldwide. More importantly, Cody was also noticed by Shawn Campbell, which eventually led to signing a contract with Atlantic Records, and moving to Los Angeles with his family in 2010. His net worth was already growing steadily.
That same year Cody Simpson debuted with his song “iYiYi” recorded with the well-known rapper Flo Rida. A few months later, his second single “Summertime” followed up with a music video. 2010 was definitely a remarkable year full of successful achievements for Cody as his very first extended play “4 U” was released later in December. Again, these successes contributed to his net worth.
After recording his second extended play (entitled “Coast to Coast”) with Atlantic Records and reaching 24,000 copies sold, Cody went on a tour around the United States. It was after the tour that the ways of Cody Simpson and his producer Shawn Campbell separated. Cody hired Scooter Braun, manager of the world-famous Justin Bieber, who by the way was also first discovered on Youtube.
Later on in 2012, Simpson debuted with his studio album called “Paradise” and headed up with a tour in Europe. Cody’s latest extended play “Free”, which by the way will be his first work as of an independent singer, is about to show up in July 2015, meaning pretty soon. These further successes contributed significantly to Cody’s net worth.
Also, in 2014, while participating in one of most popular TV shows “Dancing with the Star”, Cody was paired to Witney Carson, who is a professional dancer. However, the couple did not win the competition, taking 9th place, which was still a good start in dancing for Simpson, and helped increase his fan club and net worth.
Cody Simpson is a great example of how a young and talented artist might build his road to success in a short period of time. Today, Cody is already the proud winner of eight different awards with a total of 18 nominations. Not only has he an impressive list of career achievements, he has also managed to earn a solid amount of money to accumulate his current net worth.
Despite his young age and a fully booked working schedule, Cody Simpson has already managed to create some reasons for gossiping about his personal life. He has had an on-off relationship with Gigi Hadid, a famous fashion model, but the couple seems not to be together anymore.
