- Baller, not Humble. It’s an apt description for the foremost jeweler in the game. Since founding his company IF&Co, Ben Baller has been the go-to jeweler for hip-hop cognoscenti-and more recently celebrities in general. Your “favorite jeweler’s favorite jeweler,” Baller has climbed his way to the top of the chain game, one diamond-encrusted piece of bling at a time. With a laundry list of clients including damn near every famous person you can think of, Baller has built an unparalleled rolodex and parlayed a jewelry company into a full-on lifestyle brand including numerous endorsements, sneaker deals and even vape pens. From his fleet of exotic cars to his massive contemporary art collection, today nearly everything Baller touches turns to, well, gold.
That was not always the case. Born Ben Yang, Baller began his career in the music industry, first as a DJ then later as a producer working with Dr. Dre at Priority Records and eventually at Aftermath. Still, Baller felt stifled working for others. With a cousin and uncle in the jewelry business, Baller decided to finally work for himself in 2004 when he transformed his family business into IF&Co. Parlaying his music industry connections, personal style and family know-how, the untrained jeweler quickly became the most recognized name in Los Angeles, with clients ranging from Kanye West to Mariah Carey and Pharrell. Over the past 15 years, his client list has only grown more impressive. Whether it’s Lil Uzi Vert, Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean or John Mayer, if they need a chain, Baller is the first name on their list. More than just a purveyor of diamonds and precious metals, Baller is a lifestyle impresario, with a cult following who worship his style, vehicles, watches and, of course, his notoriously brash personality. We caught up with Baller to discuss his career, jewelry, streetwear and why he’s deciding to sell some of his more prized possessions exclusively on Grailed.
His sale, "Ben Baller Did The Drop," goes live on October 4th at 12PM PST/3PM EST. It's the only place to cop rare Supreme, Bape and more, directly from the jeweler's closet. - Jak na to + styl
i thought ben sold his collect like 15 years ago and went travelling and he said 1.5 now its 3 mill gtfo
This is “Ben Baller not Ben Humble” respect cause he work hard and always remember where he came from.
Lol he literally says he isn’t humble then you try to make it seem like he’s being humble by saying that.
Is this your first time seeing him? In most of his interviews he speaks about his upbringing, he worked hard to get where he is.
@@justterrell956 I’m not debating weather or not he is humble. I just think it’s funny how you quoted the least humble statement I’ve ever heard and then tried to call him humble.
@@Pg-ch5nb I’m not gonna debate with someone who can’t discern the “weather” from wether. That statement is who he is now, go watch some other interviews. I’m far from where he is but I’m pretty well off, I still never forget sleeping on the streets though.
LOVE THIS GUY!
Bruh this man didn't start his own jewelry business. He's just a middle-man for his cousin's store LOL.
Howard true. But he did start bringing celebrity clientele to the shop and turned it into what it is now.
What's the name ?
Lmao this is the personification of being high and drunk at 5am
Nice dolls Ben! You can play with them in your doll house
When yo name is ben baller but you gotta sell all your shit because you're goin broke do you rename yourself Ben bankrupt or Ben broke lol.

This dude is 50 dressing like Billie eilish
@@crisdelgado4102 🤦♂️😂
😂😂true
Didn’t know a green beanie worth prolly more than any hats u have makes u a billie eilish wannabe
im mad that they charge the 9%fee from the total amount item+shipping price and not only for the item sold, thats actually foul asl.
its already absurd that grailed charges in percent and not just a flat. we are all using the same platform but some seller gave way more money to grailed in 10 sales than some others, it just doesnt make any sense!
i will keep on copy pasting what i just wrote like everywhere i can 😖

No other type of hustle like hungry gyopo’s 💪🇰🇷
Did you see Enes Yilmazer on youtube? the Hawaii house has the best bearbrick collection! Crazy
What's up with the transparent cuban link chain!
Smells like a hater
Johnny Dang and Ben Baller need to join forces.
Notice how he said not Ben humble at the start lol cause Trax called him out. Notice how his story changed from his cousin having a nice car and saying you got the hook up in the music industry lets let them make money selling records we will sell them the bling lol. He also said he sold his shoes in one story donated some to charity and went traveling now after being called out its to start a store. At the end of the day the man got rich did his thing made his money and if people wanna be crazy and give him 5k for a 1500 dollar necklace they deserve to get ripped off. My only thing is my God BS all you want but keep the same story because they change like every other year nothing has ever been the same lmao.
You soundin kinda bitter fam
Ben baller did the chain!!!
Let me catch someone playing with my dolls, I’d pop my 🔫!
Took until 2:02 of the clip to realized he has 4 chains on..
Materialistic.
He’s a collector bruh what do you expect.
wait why is everyone hatin im confused LMAOSOJSOSSLJSK
Dude probably sniffs his own farts he’s so full of himself, if your the one to be constantly talking about yourself and how much of a cool bro you are, you probably have narcissistic tendencies at the very least, thats probably why most people have a disliking for him if i had to guess
I thought this was a skit.
Grailed full of scammers.
Imagine being 40+ years old collecting dolls/ toys and wearing those type of clothesZ
Elver Galarga investments. you sound salty those bear bricks are art so being a 40+ collecting art is dumb u my friend are a dumb ass
Those art pieces u call Toy’s is worth more then ur family’s assets. Lolol now who’s the idiot?
Imagine looking up someone you don’t like just to hate lol

Lies. You bought your sneakers with your hustling money when you were selling packs. Jewelry store was and is owned by your cousin and you hopped in bc you had the clientele.
