Forbes Hip Hop Fortunes (Eminem isn't there)

[stella222]

Quite logical since artrists don't get rich because of their music/selling CDs but because of their tours (Em only did how many concerts total in 2010?) and their advertisement deals.

He didn't do many shows in 2010 but on the other hand those shows were like ten times bigger than an average show of the other rappers. I read he received 2 million dollars for the show in Switzerland, which makes me assume he got even more for his shows in Ireland and Scotland. And this was just the three shows in Europe.

50s net worth is around 600k,so yeah this is bullshit.

Em is around 200k

So you know better than Forbes about that ?

Wasn't it Forbes that estimated his network for like 200 million around 2003?

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.

he got that oil money

Forbes isn't wrong

Is the left one a young Vanilla Ice?

[NicoleEM]

Birdman has been always rich as far as i know.And If Forbes's top was made based on their music sales,Em would be on top,but since it's based on their bussines incomes and stuff....It's not hard to guess why Em isn't in their top 5

[kiki]

Em isn't a sellout, so he isn't there. He could top that list easily.

If I had 400million in the bank I'd be fine with people calling me a sellout

[Sla]

Yeah, not really simple to say no to all that money you could obtain. Em does it. Respect. He still doesn't live under a bridge ...

[MayIAskAQuestion?]

Actually I think we don't have the full numbers yes. Master P got something like 500 million some years ago but he isn't there anymore ?

[IrishShady]

Who cares? It's an artists content that matters, not how much money they have.

Seems that Eminem doesn't even have 100M$.

What a fucking loser he is

[Wreck]

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.

And I respect him in a way that he doesn't need to have billions to be happy and to give his children a great life, not just financially, but emotionally. I mean if it were me I'd at least have some sort of side business going but to each is own, and I respect him for staying out of the private life as well, and spending time with his children.

[TommiTMX]

It matters not because as Em says, he's kind of a big deal.
