School / College / University

Riff Raff’s school days were as unconventional as his rap career would later become. He went to Langham Creek High School in Harris County, Texas, where he played shooting guard on the basketball team and rocked braids long before they were mainstream. But traditional classrooms didn’t hold his attention for long—he dropped out in his senior year and later picked up a GED to keep things moving.

In 2001, he gave college a shot at Hibbing Community College in chilly Minnesota, majoring in liberal arts and joining the basketball team. That experiment lasted about a month. By 2003, he had dropped out completely—leaving behind structured academics for the freestyle chaos of mixtapes, neon grills, and viral fame.

Religion

Riff Raff’s religious roots are a mix—his mother is Jewish, his father Christian—but when it comes to faith, he doesn’t box himself in. He’s said more than once that he doesn’t really claim any religion, steering clear of strict labels or dogma. He’s cool with people believing in God, heaven, and all things spiritual—but for him, it’s more personal than traditional.

That said, he does have a gothic cross tattooed on his body, along with a prayer addressed to Jesus—symbols that hint at some kind of spiritual thread, even if he doesn’t wave a religious flag.

Race / Ethnicity

Riff Raff comes from a richly mixed heritage. On his mother’s side, he’s Ashkenazi Jewish, with roots tracing back to German, Russian, and Israeli ancestry—including families who survived the Holocaust. His dad brings a blend of European blood, likely English, Swedish, and German.

Food Habits

When it comes to food, Riff Raff doesn’t count calories—he collects them. Known for his over-the-top eating habits, especially during his bulk-up era with Hulk Hogan, he was on a mission to hit 240 pounds with a daily intake goal of 4,400 calories. And trust us, it wasn’t grilled chicken and kale.

His golden food rules?

Sugary snacks go best with even more sugary drinks.

Late-night pizza is sacred.

The “see food” diet? Yeah, he really sees it and eats it.

Morning workout = free pass to eat anything all day.

And forget celery—he’s not here for rabbit food.

Think pizzas, seafood feasts, mountains of candy, and a steady stream of Mountain Dew and Monster Energy. It’s chaotic, it’s carb-loaded, and it’s peak Riff Raff—fitness with a sugar rush.

Hobbies

Riff Raff’s hobbies are as extra as his personality. At the core, he lives for freestyling, making music, and turning everyday life into a kind of performance art—sometimes wild, sometimes weird, but always unforgettable. He’s also got a softer side, casually singing along to bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers while cruising in his car (yes, even neon icons have a chill mode).

A proud fan of The Simpsons, he’s taken his love for the show to tattoo-level commitment, blending it into his aesthetic and persona like it’s part of the brand. Off-stage, he’s always exploring new lanes—acting, reality TV, and anything pop-culture-packed that lets him stay in the spotlight.

And don’t forget the physical grind. Whether bulking up for wrestling gigs or just chasing gym gains, Riff treats working out and eating big like an extreme sport. For him, even hobbies have to go hard.

As of July 2025, it’s estimated that Riff Raff has a net worth of about $5 million. With his diamond-studded grin, braids tighter than a mixtape drop, and a persona louder than his outfits, Riff Raff is more than just a rapper—he’s a walking brand. Known for his offbeat charisma and eccentric style, Riff Raff has diversified his career across music, merchandise, media, and even cannabis. Let’s break down where his money comes from and how this neon-lit hustler built this fortune.

1. Music Career: Where It All Started

➤ Album Sales & Streaming Revenue

Riff Raff’s breakout moment came with his debut studio album Neon Icon in 2014, released under Diplo’s Mad Decent label.

3. TV, Film & Media Appearances

Riff Raff’s biggest brush with Hollywood came when the 2012 film Spring Breakers released. Although he didn’t appear in the film, he publicly claimed that the character “Alien,” played by James Franco, was based on him. The controversy generated buzz and led to more media attention.

He later appeared in indie films and made cameo appearances in:

Riff Raff-themed smoking accessories (grinders, rolling trays, bongs)

This niche aligns perfectly with his fan base and lifestyle branding.

Estimated earnings from cannabis ventures:
✔️ $250,000+ (ongoing potential for growth)

5. Neon Nation Corporation & Business Investments

In 2016, Riff Raff announced the launch of Neon Nation Corporation, a multi-platform brand focused on music, clothing, art, and tech. Backed by $4 million in funding, the company aimed to create digital and physical products tied to Riff Raff’s lifestyle.

While the project has remained low-profile since the initial launch, it indicates long-term interest in business development beyond performance.

Investment Funding Raised:
✔️ $4 million (not necessarily personal income, but a business milestone)

6. Social Media & Sponsored Content

Riff Raff’s Instagram (@jodyhighroller) has over 1 million followers, and he also maintains a presence on TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. His eccentric videos, wild fits, and meme-worthy content drive traffic—and revenue.

He’s partnered with brands for shoutouts, sponsored posts, and limited collabs, and he occasionally uses platforms like Cameo to sell personalized video messages to fans.
