[2stepz_ahead]

some of yall some sad niggaz....

how yall gonna say no one will make it to a bill...just cause yall wont ever get to a mill let alone half a mill

man give the next man some props and encouragement....yall some crabs in the barrel type dudes

jay or will will be the first because they got plenty outside of rap.

will got music, movies and his kids making loot

jay got the nets, music, and part of bing search engine

 

[Turfaholic]

2pac......got these niggas beat

 

[ustreet_monsta]

Jay or Will Smith.

Having a spouse or kids who earns big money will put them over. Plus being married gets you tax breaks and whatnot.

 

[daboyskill]

jay or 50 more than likely

 

[Mdizzle9000]

i think russel got more money than that, or them other niggas got less

Yall really need to stop quoting that celebrity networth website, that shit ain't accurate for shit. As for the topic, i would say either Puff or Jay, they manage to keep themselves around and relevant in the music business and have other revenue streams outside of the music (advertising companies, restaurant, investments,etc). Overall it's hard as hell to make billionaire status, i think in order for a rapper to reach it they would need to start doing stadium shows and become more global and transcending as possible like the Beattles, U2, Stones,etc are. That means rap fans are gonna need to let these rappers get older and start supporting them!

Eminem is worth more than Jay Z. Eminem will be the first billionaire rapper

1. Puffy - that nigga be making hella moves shit he should become a billionaire off Ciroc alone.

2. Jay or 50 - Both be making alot of investments but its to early to see how sound their investments are gonna turn out.

3. Will Smith - While he doesnt rap as much, his acting, production company, and endorsements may push him over a bill but it may take longer

Eminem is worth more than Jay Z. Eminem will be the first billionaire rapper

Doubt it. Other then record sales where else does he get money from? He doesnt really tour anymore and i havent heard about any investments or businessses.

50 Cent ain't worth nowhere near 500 mil either!

 

[jimmy valentine]

It seems like AllHipHop.com is trying to fabricate some new beef between Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. They want people to talk about a battle between the two labels. "LAMES". They follow the same tactics CNN and FOX use to created and push their propaganda.

In the meantime chek out this video. I think this kid can really rap!

[usmarin3]

How is Master P worth over 600 mil when No Limit business isn't generate revenues like that anymore, they filed for bankruptcy a while back. Yall are still stuck in 1998 and that article that said that, Networth is based on the value of all your assets, yall are seriously out your minds if you think No Limit back catalog is worth shit, this ain't MJ or the Beatles.

 

[Dretox2010]

I'd say Jay-Z not only is his worth Crazy but none of the other has married Beyonce and she was the top earning Celebrity last year and she didnt even drop an Album.....

You pussys lol Jay Z lol

 

[Dretox2010]

U Mad Em aint mentioned? He should be working harder he does have his daughter and somebody elses to raise... And he has to support Kim's drug habit.... He should be striving more than anybody on that list....

Eminem doesnt have to be mentioned on the IC cos fact's don't lie

Fact is Shady Records as far as sales has out sold most record labels album sales

Can you name a bigger tour around stadiums worldwide that Eminem headlines like Anger Managment?

Can you name many people in the game that have their own signiture Nike and Jordan sneakers?

Can you name an Artist that has been in a movie that has generated more money than 8 Mile?

Can you name many Artists that own their own Radio network like Shade 45?

Can you name many Artists that have sold out their own Book worldwide?

Can you name many Artists that have released Diamond selling Albums like The MMLP & The Eminem Show through their label?

Can you name many Producers that have Produced as many Hit's for other Artists that have reached the top 10?

Can you name many clothing lines that still exist 8 years after they launched and were sold in Macy's like Shady LTD?

Every time 50 Cent makes money Eminem gets a cut of that money

 

[Dretox2010]

^^ Em gets money off of 50 Cent's MUSIC and since he's barely going Gold i guess Emm aint gettin that much.... Sad day when u have more money than ur "Boss"..... Beyonce Money>>>>> Em Money u mad?

Not just of 50 Cen's Music but money from any 50 Cent business venture wether it be 50 Cent movies, vitamin water, any money from G Unit label record sales etc

50 said it himself

As far as Albums Get Rich Or Die Trying sold 7 million, The Massacre sold over 5 Million and so on Eminem is still getting paid royalties from those Album as well as Executive Producer money

50 Cent works for Eminem

50 Cent is going Gold in America not Multi Platinum like he used to but his worldwide sales are still Multi Platinum so even just from Music Eminem is getting paid really good from his sales worldwide

 

[ustreet_monsta]

Master P is not worth anywhere near 600 Mil.

I dont think Bob Johnson is worth that much and at one point he actually was a billionaire.

 

[Detroitking313]

How is Master P worth over 600 mil when No Limit business isn't generate revenues like that anymore, they filed for bankruptcy a while back. Yall are still stuck in 1998 and that article that said that, Networth is based on the value of all your assets, yall are seriously out your minds if you think No Limit back catalog is worth shit, this ain't MJ or the Beatles.

Dam you act like No limit is his only business P owns tons of shit and stocks
