really cant trust forbes doe 50 lost 380 million in 2 years? and master p had to lose bout 600 million

RICHEST RAPPERS OF ALL-TIME (FORBES 2009)

1. Master P - $661 Million

2. 50 Cent - $480 Million

3. P.Diddy $380 Million

4. Jay-Z $360 Million

5. Russell Simmons, $325 Million

I dont know what P is worth. The Forbes list isnt based on how much cash is in your bank account. Most wealthy people took a hit when the stock market and the real estate market crashed, so depending on what kind of assets he had, its possible to lose a couple hundred million dollars on paper. If he still owns that stuff, he"ll rebound with rest of the economy.

Cats like Bob Johnson and Donald Trump have seen their wealth fluctuate dramatically over the years. Trump even declared bankruptcy twice.

 

[politicalthug202]

In order for his networth to be negative they need to have liabilities in excess of assets. They dont have that tho, them nigga is on forbes in the green & black. The numbers in earnings are net profit after taxes & costs. Otherwise them 5 wouldnt even be on there.

& no u dont have to be connected to the "white boys" in order to have access to those things like Goldman-Sachs or Ken Fisher's funds (Goldman Sachs has a minimum of 10 mil in networth per client b4 they consider them, other places like fidelity have waaaay lower standards around a mil or less), I think Ken Fisher only requires an investment of 1,000,000 (could be 5 but im too lazy to check his website LOL) for him & his managers to manage ur funds. Theres other cats too like Stephen Jarislovsky (billionaire canadian investor w/ returns of over 25% over the last 45 years) & he'll take ppl if they even have 5k to invest. Or even Berkshire Hathaway which has other managers who have separate funds with great returns (lou simpson, todd combs, etc.) Bottom line is if Hov, Diddy or Fif got in touch with niggas like that theyd be in the billionaire area long ago. If u have at least 1 million dollars to invest u dont need to be well connected to the old boys club to get an investment banker to use ur funds to underwrite a deal, u can just walk rite into Fisher Investments, Goldman Sachs or any Wealth Management firm or investment bank & they'll gladly take u. Now the trick is whos got the best advice & numbers behind them to persuade you ? LOL

The internet crash ill give u that but the housing market & stocks has always been the best way to go. If those niggas were investing during the crash (beginning of 09 till now) they wouldve seen returns in excess of 33%+ to the networths. Clothing & shit is cool but there are faaaar more lucrative ventures that will prove profitable not just in the short term but in the long term as well. Clothing & Liquor are shit niggas can sell n milk when their hot but no celeb has ever been able to sustain their hype forever everyone wanes & has to go at it again. At least with shit like apartment buildings, real estate development, upstream oil companies & franchising niggas can eat whether their hot or not. Look at E-40, J.Prince or Master P.

Iuno fam them having 50 on there so long just dont add up.... Baby i can understand but Fif ? iunnooooo

I gotta disagree jayz has lunch with bill gates and warren buffet,and 50 and diddy is cool with trump

Im sure they have those connects,like I said most ppl know never invest in something you dont understand.

they have all the connects, you talking about,the investment game is good old boys club.

you think they just let anybody in,if that was the case it would be alot more billionaires.

and besides anybody can look up warren buffets portfolio allocation online

lmao at him being confused on how that one dollar bill got in there

 

[dalyricalbandit]

take dat take dat

thats how u know u have bread when u look at a $1 and think wtf is this

 

Yeah but investments mean more of your money going in and less coming out....if i just use you for what your worth to me now, dump you when your useless to me, than at the same time make myself more powerful enough that i can do it over and over again....why invest when i can make your money my money and my money stays my money....in a way you invest your money on you for me and im necessary b/c I'm what brings you the clout to gain that money in the first place b/c i snaked enough niggaz to get to that point....fuck do i care what happens to you...if you were about ya B.S you wouldnt need me

this man knows what he is talking about !! he just gave us the blueprint to sean combs hustle in one paragraph ..

perfect example as of this moment is Puffs relationship with RICK ROSS .........

i've peeped this about puff .. he stacks his major earnings up and maintains his plush lifestyle off the capital of others around him ..
I can bet u this nigga doesnt use one cent of his OWN money .. he has the sponsors . rappers/singers . contract incentives . all at his disposal .

where with lets say baby yea he is raping lil wayne but he is also using alot of his own paper to maintain the lifestyle he displays ..
