He said 10 years he'll still be on Top. Diddy #1 on Forbes Hip Hop List Again.

[antarticp]

I don't think people understand how hard it is to reach a billion dollars, it's like graduating number one in your class at Harvard.

according to the forbes list theres about 397 billionares in the US alone

imo its not hard to reaching a billie ... the stock market can make you a billie overnight ...

whats hard is building a product or gaining ownership of a business that will put you on that level ...................

lol at it's not that hard, do you know how many people there are in the United States compared to being a billionaire. The chances are slim to none, slightly more than .00001 percent of the population.

in 1 year 50 gain 400+million off 1 business venture .... Dr Dre just did the samething ... ijs ... however i agree with you 100% ... like i said a billie can be reached overnight ... but its not about reaching a billie ... it about having a business venture that will take you there, Fifty with the Vitamin Water deal ... being on the verge of something big, facebook ... Investing in a businesses that will put you in the billie net range, Oil Companies - TV broadcast stations ................

read everything i write not just the portion thats rubbing your wrong .... yes im saying the # billie can be reached maybe i should say FAST instead of easy cause i think yall are taking "easy" out of context .... Cause its not "easy" to reach because you NEED A VEHICLE TO GET YOU THERE

Hip Hops #1 Richest Man

Diddy 550,000,000

Worlds #10 Richest Man

Karl Albrecht 25,400,000,000

So who really won?

So diddy ain't shit cuz it's niggas richer than him? Nigga, do YOU have half a billion?

Not to take anything from Diddy, but for some of the things these guys do - there's a lot of cats who aren't big names like that and have networths equal to or in that range and do what they do in a business sense everyday. But you don't hear about them b/c what they do is normal and they dont have the fancy name and fame. 50 Cent did 400 mil off Vitamin Water just b/c Coca Cola acquired the company. On Wall Street those deals happen more often than not but u dont hear about the players who profit off it.

very true and honestly for "how long its taking" for them just to reach HALF a billie is a little embarrassing ........ just a little cause its def not easy to do ......... but im sure they also feel what im saying cause they know people them selves that look @ half a billie like thats NO MONEY ..... if u think about it everyone on that forbes list is pretty much there because of 1 segment of thier business ... ie Dre Dre - Beats, Jayz - Rocawear / Roc Nation, 50 - Vitamin Wat, Birdman - ???? saying and looking like hes worth 100 million???? lol, Diddy - Ciroc & Sean jean if dudes get more savvy they could easily @least be closer to a billie (which diddy is with adding on ciroc and now adding the revolt station) ...

side note i also see fif and jayz gettting more savy just waiting to see the outcome of thier moves ... jayz with adding the brooklyn nets and fif with adding on sms ..... diddy just a little ahead of the game ....

Peace Ant!! U guys talk about 1/2 billi like its 1/2 of a dollar. Diddy & Jay R doing their thing point blank period. I always respected them but I personally didnt get it until I begin listening at how da media speaks on Mitt Romney(prez candidate) & he's worth almost 300 mill. They spk on Romney as if he has B Gates $$$. Don't get it twisted 300 mil is alotta paper but I neva viewed it dat way cause Diddy & Jay R associated with rap vs wall street or what have U.

Dat said,when they reach dat billi status I promise U deez guys R gonna totally dominate. I say dat cause they're true hustlers.

DEF not mane i specifically stated that reaching a billie or even half a billie isnt an easy task ....

when you get to a point where you got money ... u get another whole understanding of what it means to have money ... and how to make it .... and who's really bringing it in ....

let me try to really put this in perspective so you can see where im coming from

@ the end of the day diddy been rich since he was 24 ... hes damn near 40+ and still aint seen a billie ....

Mark Zuckerburg was 20 when he first launched facebook in 2004 and 8 years laters hes worth over 17 BILLIE GOATS !!!!!!

IJS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes a billie is a hard number to get too .... but them rap niggaz is struggling just a little too hard to reach it ... word to real wealthy people who know about getting to THAT REAL MONEY ...

No disrespect to U,lemme say it again....No disrespect to U but U talk like U have a understanding of $$$ but then U say a billi isn't hard to earn???? US Marin said it earlier & he was right,a billion $$ is hard to earn. I don't care if Diddy has been rich since breast milk dat means nothing. U compared hip hop moguls to Mark Zuckerberg????? C'mon son!!!! We're talkin 2 different monsters

you saying mark zuckerberg like he was somebody before facebook ??????????? outside of being educated in the programing field he isnt much different from a diddy who started out being educated in the music field ...????

and im not going to go to much further with it cause yall keep adding in words THAT I DID NOT SAY ...

so im going to end it like this ...

Reaching a billie is HARD AS HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



but its not impossible (and i say this cause mark earned not 1 not 2 but 17+ by the age of 28)

POW !!!!!

I actually get ur point Ant but U referencing Zuckerberg is gettin off topic. I say dat cause there's only 1 Zuckerberg & they'll prolly neva B another. His story is very unique & besides dat ur comparing hustles whereas Diddy & Hov hustled music which is cool by all means but dat silicon valley hustle is for a lack of better words.....on another level.

I'll end it like dis homie.....I feel its safe to say we all have a long ways to go financially but its not fair to compare hip hop moguls to da worlds 10th wealthiest man who by da way isn't even 30 yrs old.....again,2 diff monsters but both beasts!!

 

[Gen. Stasia]

U act like Mark just went to Everest for his programing degree he was in one of the Top Universities in the World. Which means his family was well off enough to send him there or hes extremely iintelligent or Both.

thats sort of my point tho ... mark got 17 billies off that facebook joint ... FAST !! not 1 not 2 but 17 joints and its still not even trading on the market yet who knows what its going to balloon up too ... like you said the REAL story and BILLIONS is in the product he created .......

 

[antarticp]

U act like Mark just went to Everest for his programing degree he was in one of the Top Universities in the World. Which means his family was well off enough to send him there or hes extremely iintelligent or Both.

and your acting like everyone who goes to harvard becomes a billionare ... i dont think the kid was that well off ... i read his story if he was that well off he wouldnt of needed investors to start up facebook ...... ijs

u dont need to be a genius to become rich ... @ the very mininum you just need an idea ...

 

[antarticp]

side note i agree with yall folks ... im just thinking diddy is already rich ... when you got money you hang around folks with money .. u get access to areas broke folks dont ... people talk ... you learn new things from other folks ... you absorb ... i seen 50 say many of times he has friends that make him look broke .... dudes that will pay you 70k just to perform one song like its nothing ........... just like 50 learned from them labels early on how market and promote himself to take him from being broke to being a millionare ..... now hes with folks that got billions that he can learn from to take himself from a millionare to a billionare ............ the easiest way is via the stock market .... im just surprise fif is the first one in hip hop to really fuck with the stock market via ownership in start ups ......

 

[Gen. Stasia]

How Many Billionaires haven't graduated High School tho? Genius? No but u need some form of education. And i grew up Poor so well off to me is Middle Class comfortable. Mark Zuckerberg didn't come from the projects or a Trailer Park. And he wasn't worried about Money cuz he was in his Dorm creating Face Smash instead of working a part time Job like most broke college students.

"dont worry if i write rhymes i write checks"

 

[damayor187]

who care's who richer? They dont do shit for us, but flaunt their money in our face and if we were to see them and were assed out about to get evicted they wouldn't throw one months rent our way. Nobody needs that much money with all the people out here struggling. Sickening to see people hoard money like it makes them more of a superior human then somebody with less.

Nigga shut your bitter ass up, you acting like these niggas didn't come from the struggle and work their way up. LOL at nobody needs that much money, i bet your ass wouldn't give away shit if you had it. Do you know how many black people Puff, Jay,etc employ, so before you start criticizing people ask yourself what the fuck have you done beside complain.

Let me fill you in on something me and a couple of other investors opened up a youth center with our own money. Each year for christmas we give away $5,000 of our own money to families who can't afford buy their kids toys. We also sponsor a basketball league for 6-14 year old boys. I have a well to do income and by no means living poor. I own my own company running computer networks and fiberoptics for well known million dollar companies. I graduated college, worked hard and I came from nothing the projects. I give back and dont worry about making billions. I worry about trying to help people out who are not as fortunate as I am. We have kids out here starving who didn't choose the family they were born into. I'm sure you have donated lots of your time and money on weed, liqour and rims.

true true true ... but def dont take the fact that you were born poor that the opp to be a billionare isnt there for you ... actually thats why we dont see as many millionares and billionares because most of us grow up hopeless and just automatically ruling the possibility out ... Diddy isnt a billionare right now because he didnt go to harvard or cause hes from the hood ... hes not a billionare because he's not in a billion dollar industry ... however now that comcast handed him a channel he actually is now moving into the billion dollar lane ....

but i agree with you ... im just an optimistic person ... its hard for me to say you cant do something especially when the factors are because your poor and came from nothing ...

U act like Mark just went to Everest for his programing degree he was in one of the Top Universities in the World. Which means his family was well off enough to send him there or hes extremely iintelligent or Both.

He's from a upper middle class family not well off. Awhile back before facebook got all super big I saw him and the other dude who helped him with facebook in frisco at hooters just chilling. And no he's not super smart lol. I hear he still lives in frisco and only lives in a 3 story hous not to far from his old hood.

Dude is just like creators of napster, myspace, google, twitter youtube, etc etc. They all were just goofing off in college and quit as soon as they sites popped off. They aint special. None of them were middle class aka broke though lol.

now back to diddy bopping

 

[Gen. Stasia]

@DeepEastOaklandP Upper Middle Class is well off where I come from. Upper Middle class is basically 100k a year that's well off.

 

[rapmastermind]

LOL @ Dudes in here really trying to shade Diddy and Jay talking about "Oh Half a Billi ain't enough". Last time I check there were only a few Black Billionares WORLDWIDE. Most of the Billionaires came from old money handed down. Diddy and Jay came from streets and used HIP HOP an art form many whites were saying shouldn't exist or would make any money to get where they are. No matter what there business are today, HIP HOP is what got them to where they are. LOL @ dudes behind computer screens talking about "Oh Half a Bill ain't alot" you've got to be kidding me. Now we got a bunch of keyboard business men, SMH.

Diddy: And these dudes on the computer said Half a Billi ain't shit

Jay: LMAO

just for you...

mr. cent does not have the high profiled names the others have and is still on the list. so when speaking of money, like as in forbes he did indeed win.

If we are speaking of hot music right now, ricki is winning because he is whats hot right now but we can not act like gunit was not running the streets at a point. its just MMG's time right now. how many of them really made a hot whole album without help or guess spots outside of em, jay,wayne and kanye.

and lets not act like people just dont like 50 and thats why kanye outsold him. you had people buying 2-3 kanye albums just to spite 50. what part of the game is that?

Just saying

[/quote]

Whose fault was it that people don't like him though. Fif conceited as hell. LOL @ people going into Best Buy/Target thinking 50 said he'd retire if Kanye outsells him, so let me get 2-3 copies of that Ye shit. Fif couldve been a politician he lies and doesn't keep his promises.
