The rapper is rocking the cost of a home around his neck.

On the eve of his album release, Rich The Kid took to Instagram to show off his brand new, super shining chain. The World Is Yours 2 is set to be one of the most anticipated releases of the month, and to celebrate his latest musical feat, Rich treated himself to an expensive present. The spinning chain was reportedly commissioned by celebrity jeweler Eliantte and is said to have 250 carats of VS diamonds in addition to a Cuban link chain.

"Album tonight at 12 @eliantte you jus s**tted.. craziest chain in the world 🌎 #theworldisyours2," he captioned a video of clip of his new chain on Instagram. The price of the one-of-a-kind jewelry came in at $425,000, so hopefully his security is right and tight because that's a whole house he's wearing around his neck. Meanwhile, fans are gearing up for Rich's sophomore effort which boasts features that include Gunna, Young Thug, Ty Dolla $ign, NAV, Big Sean, Offset, A-Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and many more

The rapper's single "Splashin'" is on TWIY2 and Rich sat down with Billboard to talk about how it only took him less than an hour to write and record the track. “Automatically, it just came to my head,” he said. “I didn't even have to write it or anything. I just started recording, just put the headphones on and I just started recording the verse. It took me like 25 to 30 minutes to write the whole song.”

The World Is Yours 2 drops at midnight, tonight.
