Ty Dolla $ign is expanding her empire beyond music, launching Tycoon Academy, a new platform designed to teach financial literacy and wealth-building strategies.
In a recent interview with Power 106’s Justin Credible, the Los Angeles-born artist shared his motivations behind the project.
“I’m about to start Tycoon Academy, where I teach people how to actually make money,” he said. “That’s the one thing I feel like they don’t teach us. They teach us everything else except how to make money and keep money. And I just want to empower people. I’ll be announcing that soon.”
The academy is the latest in a growing list of businesses linked to the Tycoon brand, which also includes a record label, a champagne range and a new album. All reflect Ty Dolla $ign’s evolving vision of ownership and influence.
His record label, Ez MnY, recently signed singer-songwriter Leon Thomas, whom Ty calls “the greatest R&B artist in the world right now.”
The list also includes Bizzy Crook, rjtheweirdo, Saige Michael and Keith Turner. The label partnered with Create Music Group in June 2025 to expand its operations and reach a wider audience.
Ty also launched Bonar Jean, a champagne brand whose name translates to “good money,” in line with the theme of financial empowerment that runs throughout his latest project.
All of these adventures coincide with the launch of his fourth studio album, Tycoon, which will be released on October 17, 2025, via Atlantic Records.
The album is his first solo album since 2020 featuring Ty Dolla Sign, which includes Quavo, Juicy J, A$AP Rocky, YG, Tory Lanez, Young Thug, Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Tyga, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Leon Thomas and more.
Tay describes the album’s themes as being about leadership and control and says it represents a new chapter in his career. Tycoon Academy has yet to announce a launch date, but Ty Dolla $ign said more details are coming soon.
