What Was Jamal Edwards’ Net Worth?

Following the sad news that Jamal Edwards has died at the age of 31, followers of the music mogul want to look back on his career and find out what his net worth was.

The news was recently confirmed to the BBC, while his mother, Brenda Edwards, explained in a statement that he died following a “sudden illness”. 

Edwards was an entrepreneur, author and director, and perhaps most famously, was the founder of SBTV, an online music platform that helped launch the careers of Dave, Ed Sheeran and Jessie J.

What was Jamal Edwards’ net worth in 2022?

Jamal Edwards had an estimated net worth of $10 million (£7.3 million) in 2022, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The late Edwards made his beginnings in the music industry on YouTube, where he would post rap videos. 

His online content would eventually grow into his business, SmokeyBarz TV, otherwise known as SBTV, which was launched in 2006. 

His online platform was dedicated to discovering up-and-coming artists, eventually launching the careers of musicians like Dave, Ed Sheeran and Jessie J, prior to being signed to major record labels.

His platform also featured talent from Stormzy, Rita Ora and Krept & Konan. 

At age 23, Edwards was estimated to be worth more that £8 million, and released his own book in 2013, Self Belief: The Vision: How To Be a Success on Your Own Terms.

In 2014, the entrepreneur was awarded an MBE for his dedication and services to music.
