Taylin Gaulden was born on 19 March 2017. He is the third son of NBA YoungBoy, who he had with Niya after a one-night stand.

NBA Youngboy net worth

The subject of Young boy’s fortune is a bit confusing. While most sources report a $6 million net worth, there are some who claim he is worth $11 million.

The Sun also reports that as of July 2021, he had over 1.4 billion YouTube streams.
