Shortly afterwards, the group released their debut album under the name of “B2K”, which landed on a #2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 109 000 copies during its debut week. Following the success of their debut album, the band came out with “Pandemonium!”, which featured the group’s most popular single “Bump, Bump, Bump”. Around the same time, “B2K” went on a tour with Bow Wow, Nick Cannon, Mario and other artist, and made an appearance on television screens. However, in 2004, due to many internal conflicts, the group split up and Omarion went on to launch his solo career. In 2005, he released his debut solo album called “O”, which was later certified Gold by the RIAA and was even nominated for a Grammy Award. A famous singer and dancer, how rich is Omarion? According to sources, Omarion’s net worth is estimated to be $8 million. Undoubtedly, most of Omarion’s net worth and wealth came from his involvement in the music industry.
