Young Buck’s net worth is estimated at $100 thousand. Born Daniel Darnell Brown, he is an American rapper, actor and record producer. He gained prominence as a member of G-Unit & UTP Playas and is currently leading his own recording company Ca$hville Records.
Young Buck was inspired by his friend and neighbor Clay Cole to start rapping at the age of 12. When Cole left for Florida David started recording his first tracks. Soon he was signed with Brian Baby Williams and his Company. Buck disagreed with Baby Williams and he left to collaborate with rapper Juvenile, together they formed UTP Playas band and joined his friend’s label UTP Records. With this company he released 2 albums, The Compilation and Born to Be a Thug.
Later he met 50 Cent who urged him to join G-Unit. Young took the offer and released an album with this band titled Beg for Mercy which was quite successful; however the rapper later claimed that 50 Cent withheld most of the proceeds from the album. In 2010 Buck was charged with illegal possession of a firearm. He was sentenced on July 13th 2012 to 18 months in prison and is due for release by the end of 2013.
