What is Noah Shebib’s net worth?

Noah Shebib, professionally known as 40, is a Canadian record producer, songwriter, engineer, record executive, and former actor who has a net worth of $40 million.

Noah Shebib is best known as the sonic architect behind Drake’s career. As Drake’s longtime producer and engineer, Shebib helped create the moody, atmospheric, emotionally direct sound that came to define not only Drake’s music but a major lane of 2010s hip-hop and R&B. His productions often feature filtered drums, submerged textures, sparse arrangements, and intimate vocal mixes, creating what became widely known as the “Toronto sound.” Before music became his life, Shebib came from a prominent Canadian arts family and worked as an actor, appearing in projects such as “Goosebumps,” “Wind at My Back,” and “The Virgin Suicides.” He later became one of the most important behind-the-scenes figures in modern music, co-founding OVO Sound with Drake and Oliver El-Khatib, executive producing Drake’s major projects, earning multiple Grammy Awards, and helping turn a Toronto creative circle into a global music and lifestyle empire.

Early Life

Noah James Shebib was born on March 31, 1983, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He comes from a family deeply rooted in Canadian entertainment. His mother, Tedde Moore, is an actress best known to American audiences for playing Miss Shields, Ralphie’s teacher, in the holiday classic “A Christmas Story.” His father, Donald Shebib, is an influential Canadian filmmaker best known for directing the 1970 film “Goin’ Down the Road.” His grandfather, Mavor Moore, was a major figure in Canadian theater and broadcasting.

Before he became one of the most influential producers in the world, Shebib followed the family path into acting. As a child and teenager, he appeared in television shows and films including “Goosebumps,” “Wind at My Back,” “The Virgin Suicides,” and “Perfect Pie.” Acting gave him early experience in storytelling, mood, pacing, and performance, qualities that later became central to his work as a producer.

From DJ Chilly to 40

In the early 2000s, Shebib shifted his focus from acting to music. He performed under the name DJ Chilly and began working in Toronto’s local hip-hop scene, DJing parties, making beats, recording artists, and learning the technical side of engineering.

He worked with a range of local Toronto acts before becoming famous, including Empire, Knamelis, Stolenowners, Christopher Morales, and Saukrates. During these long studio sessions, Shebib earned the nickname “40 Days & 40 Nights,” later shortened to 40, because of his relentless work habits. He became known for spending marathon stretches in the studio, often sacrificing sleep to perfect recordings and mixes.

Drake and the Toronto Sound

Around 2005, Shebib began working with Aubrey Graham, the Canadian actor then best known for playing Jimmy Brooks on “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” Graham wanted to become a rapper under the name Drake, and Shebib became the producer and engineer who helped translate that ambition into a distinctive sound.

Their breakthrough came with the 2009 mixtape “So Far Gone.” The project featured songs such as “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful” and helped launch Drake as a major new artist. Just as importantly, it introduced a sonic style that felt different from the brighter, harder rap dominating the mainstream at the time. Shebib’s production was moody, spacious, melodic, and emotionally vulnerable. He often filtered drums and stripped away high frequencies, creating an underwater effect that made the music feel intimate and nocturnal.

That approach became even more powerful on “Take Care,” Drake’s 2011 album. Shebib’s production and engineering helped make the album one of the defining releases of the era. From there, he remained a central creative force behind Drake projects including “Thank Me Later,” “Nothing Was the Same,” “Views,” “Scorpion,” “Certified Lover Boy,” “Her Loss,” and “For All the Dogs.”

Beyond Drake’s own music, OVO Sound gave Shebib an executive role in developing other artists, building label infrastructure, and extending the sound and identity of Toronto music.

OVO also grew beyond music. What began as October’s Very Own, a blog and creative identity connected to Drake’s rise, evolved into a major lifestyle and apparel brand. OVO opened flagship stores in cities including Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, and London, and built high-profile collaborations with Nike, Jordan Brand, Canada Goose, and other companies. Shebib’s connection to the OVO ecosystem, through music, label operations, and the broader brand, is one of the major anchors of his business success.
