Yankee, a citizen of Puerto Rico, is a famous rapper, and actor. He has over 50 Million followers on Instagram, making him one of the biggest rappers of current times. Not to mention, he is quite affluent too. The mere fact that he owns the Cangrejeros de Santurce Baseball Team is a testament to the same.
