Stormzy was arrested for using his phone while driving his Rolls Royce Wraith in Addison Road, west Kensington in March 2024. The singer was arrested by an off-duty police officer, which is permitted under UK laws. Based on that arrest, the singer has now been banned from driving for nine months, after the singer pleaded guilty to the case.
Alongside the ban, the singer was also fined the sum of £2,010 for not appearing in court. The sum is tiny compared to his net worth of more than $25 million or approximately £20 million as of the writing of this article.
According to the BBC report regarding the ban on January 2, 2025, the singer has previously had six speeding offenses, making the incident mentioned above only the latest violation of UK driving laws by the singer.
Stormzy Net Worth and career explored
Stormzy's net worth and career are intricately linked. The singer, born Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. to working-class parents, his father being a taxi driver, grew up in the South Norwood area within Croydon, South London.
Stormzy started his music career in the underground music scene, before breaking into mainstream with his debut studio album, Gang Signs & Prayer, in 2017. The album went on to start as a multi-platinum certified record, which amounts to over 600k mark. The album went platinum first in 2018.
While exact figures are not available, platinum records usually tend to generate revenues of upwards of $500,000 or more. Alongside the UK, the album was gold-certified in Ireland. Similarly, the singer's second studio album, Heavy Is the Head, went platinum in the UK, while his third studio album has been certified as a silver record in the UK.
Alongside the albums, he's also had some highly successful single releases, such as Vossi Bop from Heavy Is the Head and Hide & Seek from the mixtape This Is What I Mean, adding to his net worth.
Aside from his own music, Stormzy's also been featured on many projects as a guest artist, some of which have been highly successful. This includes the likes of Clash by Dave and Take Me Back To London by Ed Sheeran.
In addition to his music successes, which contribute a major portion of his $25 million net worth, the singer was featured in the film Brotherhood by Noel Clark, which grossed more than $4 million at the box office. He's also been featured in the show Noughts + Crosses, among other appearances in the film and TV industry.
The singer also has his own publishing imprint under the Penguin Random House publishing arm, which is one of the Big Five publishers of the world. The imprint is called Merky Books and it published the singer's first book in Rise Up as well as works by Chelsea Kwakye, Ore Ogunbiyi, and Hafsa Zayyan. Some of these books went on to be critically acclaimed and win prizes.

The imprint runs its own scholarship program, the Merky Books New Writers' Prize. The singer has also invested in the Padel Social Club, a London social club catering to the sport Padel.
In conclusion, Stormzy's net worth comes mostly from his music as well as other creative works, some of which is balanced out by the expense of the philanthropic and scholarship opportunities he has provided to people in the past, including the currently ongoing Stormzy Scholarship for Black UK Students in Cambridge University.
