Given the fact Miller was only 26, being worth at least $4.48 million isn’t too bad at all. I must admit, however, that I would have expected that number to be a lot higher.
TMZ said that number comes from “various checking, savings and money market accounts.” I would have figured he’d have at least $10 million in those kinds of accounts. (RELATED: Mac Miller Dead From Apparent Drug Overdose. Here’s What We Know)
Mac Miller had been extremely famous for years before his death. You’d think that he’d have more than about $4.5 million in the bank.

It’s still crazy to me that Mac Miller is dead. He was such a rising star, and then it was all over in a flash.
If anything, it’s a dark reminder that drugs and substance abuse can lead to some horrific outcomes. The good news for his fans is that his music will live on for a very long time, and hopefully, his death serves a reminder that abusing drugs is never a good idea.
