Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are one of the most talked-about couples among the A-listers these days. They're hanging out with the Kardashians, working together on several projects, and making headlines with their unpredictable behavior. While they were both successful and famous before their paths crossed, Fox and Kelly have reached new heights of fame since beginning their committed relationship.
Often considered to be one of the most beautiful women of the 21st century, Megan Fox became a huge star after starring in Transformers. Kelly, on the other hand, is a genre-pushing rapper/rockstar who first started gaining wider recognition in 2010. But which one of them is the richer? Is it Fox, who has a 20-year-long career under her belt, or is it MGK, one of the most talked about contemporary musical artists?
6 Megan Fox Made Her Millions As An Actor
Megan Fox was just 15 years old when she started working on her career in the entertainment industry. Some might remember her from Hope & Faith, a sitcom starring Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford. In 2007, she landed the life-changing role of Mikaela Banes in Transformers and reprised the role in 2009. Even though she later had a massive fallout with the director, Michael Bay, which stymied her career, she remains a household name to this day.
Fox has also been featured on countless magazine covers and was regarded as one of the most beautiful and sexy women on the planet several times. At the age of 35, she takes on several projects a year. Her most recent projects include Think Like A Dog (2020), Rogue (2020), and Till Death (2021).
5 Machine Gun Kelly Rose To Fame A Little Bit Later
Colson Baker a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly is four years younger than the Transformers star. While Megan was a superstar at the tender age of 20 already, MGK has only started gaining fame in the last decade or so. He started out as a hip-hop artist, but in his last album, Tickets to My Downfall (2020) he made a surprising turn towards guitar-based sounds and pop, rock, and punk music. Today, Baker is at the height of his career. In the last year, he won several music awards, appeared in Pete Davidson's movie King of Staten Island, and cameoed in the upcoming Jackass movie. And last but not least, he started dating Megan Fox.
4 Megan Fox & MGK: An Intense Relationship
While there were still quite a lot of people out there who didn't know MGK prior to 2020, that changed as soon as Megan Fox was spotted hanging out with him on a regular basis. They met on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass. The magnetic couple instantly started making headlines as Fox was not yet divorced from her now ex-husband. The video for 'Bloody Valentine' starring Fox got millions of views within a few days. Intentional or not, it was all amazing publicity for MGK's music.
What solidified their status as an iconic couple even more is their friendship with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker who started dating in early 2021. Today, one could argue that MGK and Fox are more famous for their relationship than for their respective careers.

Even though he's been on the scene for less time than his better half, he's actually already boasting a higher net worth than Fox. One of his expenses is paying $30,000 monthly in rent, and it doesn't hurt his pocket at all.
1 Machine Gun Kelly's Net Worth Is Higher Than Megan Fox's
Even though Megan Fox is probably more of a worldwide household name than Machine Gun Kelly, he is still the one who wins the net worth game. By two million, to be exact – Megan Fox is worth $8 million, while Machine Gun Kelly is worth $10 million. Chances are that number will rise significantly in the following years.

The cast includes Machine Gun Kelly himself as well as Megan Fox and Pete Davidson. Chances are his net worth will skyrocket in the near future - it all depends on the movie's success.
