Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, better known as The Kid Laroi, has already made millions at 18 years old.

As of 2022, the Australian rapper and songwriter has an estimated net worth of $4 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Laroi rose to international fame for his collaborations with rapper Juice Wrld.

In 2021, Laroi’s track with pop superstar Justin Bieber, “Stay,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven total weeks, becoming the former’s first chart-topping song and Bieber's eighth no. 1 song.

The song marked the second collaboration between the two artists, who both became famous at a very young age. The two first teamed up for “Unstable” from Bieber’s 2021 album “Justice.”

Laroi’s chart-topping collab with Bieber came after the success of the teen’s debut mixtape “F*ck Love,” which reached no. 1 on the Billboard 200.

In early 2021, “F*ck Love” also topped the Australian ARIA album chart, making Laroi the youngest Australian solo artist to make it to that position.

Laroi is the son of Nick Howard, an accomplished music producer and sound engineer, and Sloane Howard, a former talent manager, music executive and record label founder of Aboriginal ancestry.

He began his music career at age 13. In 2015, he formed the duo Dream$Team with fellow Australian rapper DJ Marcus Jr., with whom he recorded several songs and performed at local venues.

Laroi released his debut EP, "14 with a Dream," in August 2018.

That same month, he drew attention after he became a finalist in a competition on Australia's Triple J radio station. Later that year, Howard took the stage at a handful of festivals in Australia, including Listen Out, One Night Stand and Newtown.

Howard collaborated with numerous artists on a variety of songs over the years.

Aside from Juice Wrld and Bieber, he also worked with former Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus for “Without You,” rapper and singer Machine Gun Kelly for “F*ck You Goodbye” and electronic music producer Marshmello for “Feel Something.”
