Forbes Hip Hop Fortunes (Eminem isn't there)

[MayIAskAQuestion?]

When it comes to net worth, Jay-Z is number two. The top spot goes to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who tops our accounting of rap's richest with a fortune of $475 million, fueled by his interests in Sean John clothing, Bad Boy Worldwide record label and, most significantly, his Diageo joint-venture vodka brand Ciroc. Jay-Z ranks a close second, with $450 million.

Superproducer/rapper Dr. Dre ranks third with $125 million, fueled by past earnings generated from his own career and by helping to launch those of Snoop Dogg and Eminem.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, a onetime Dr. Dre protege who reaped a nine-figure payday from the sale of Vitamin Water to Coca-Cola, rounds out the top five in a tie with Cash Money Records cofounder Bryan "Birdman" Williams at $100 million. (Forbes)

Em is around 200k

So you know better than Forbes about that ?

It doesn't matter, he's still the biggest Hip Hop artists around. Whenever a new Eminem song is released, people go nuts. That means so much more than money.

[MayIAskAQuestion?]

Agree with you of course. And Em got more respect even with that.

It's just it's crazy

[AnalKiddo]

It is right..

Em has never topped a richest rappers list, rappers don't make jack shit off album sales

How is Birdman so high? Dude aint even a big star

How is Birdman so high? Dude aint even a big star

Have any of his albums even went platinum? I don't understand how the fuck he would have so much money. Eminem is arguably the most successful rapper ever, and yet he's not on this list? I understand someone like Jay-Z or Dr. Dre, but has Birdman even, like...made money off of anything not music related? It doesn't make much sense, Birdman isn't the star that Eminem and Jay-Z are.

I think Em is a lot more than 200,000!!!

The top 2 is pretty much exactly what I'd've expected tbh. I wouldn't have expected Em to be in the top 5 either.

Forbes just puts out big round numbers, like 100 mill, LOL, they're just estimates and they have no way to proove it.

[mecuryball]

50 cent can't be 100mil,this shit aint accurate...

[richard]

birdman receives royalties from cash money records doesn't he? which would include young money artists so that's probably how he's raking it in. 50 sold vitamin water to coca cola and received an estimated 100 mil just from that...jay-z has a 360 deal with live nation (150 mil deal) and owns rocawear, diddy has sean john, and dre has beats by dre and a crapload of production royalties.

if eminem toured he could make so much more money, but after a certain point you really don't need that much money, especially if you don't give a fuck about it.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Birdman is a CEO of a fuckin money milking machine

Cash Money/Young Money

label has drake wayne minaj and alot of others.
