Is Eminem a billionaire?

[S.T.A.N.]

I was reading an article on yahoo about billionaires and it had Jay-Z on its list. I was wondering if Em is that rich also.

[Elision]

Does it matter? I mean, Em's not broke. But he's much too humble to write about it. (thank god)

[slim-topic]

I dont think.

[Alaine]

no he isn't, obviously

[clarkoggg]

no, i think hes more than happy with the amount hes got, jay z is a business man and pursues money so they cant really be compared.

[Jay-19]

Jay-Z isn't a business man, he's a business, man!

Eminem, born Marshall Mathers III, is a multi platinum selling American rapper with a net worth estimated at $115 million. Eminem spent his youth moving around Missouri with his single mom before settling in Warren, Michigan where he became interested in hip-hop after obtaining Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys. Between participating in freestyle rap battles and creating his own amateur performances throughout his teen years, Marshall gained recognition and respect from the local hip-hop scene. After dropping out of high school at age seventeen, Marshall joined Bassmint Productions, which was later renamed Soul Intent. He recorded music with Mashin’ Duck Records and FBT Productions, all while holding down a minimum wage job as a cook and dishwasher. Under Web Entertainment, Eminem released his debut album, Infinite, in 1996.
Infinite was followed by the 1997 release of The Slim Shady EP, which earned Eminem the attention of Dr. Dre, who executive-produced the major-label release of The Slim Shady LP. The album was an instant commercial and critical success, earning Eminem a Grammy for best rap album. 2000 and 2002 saw the releases of The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show, respectfully, both successes, with The Marshall Mathers LP on record as the fastest selling hip-hop album in history. Eminem has achieved twelve #1 singles worldwide, an Academy Award for Best Original Song, eight number one albums on Billboard Top 200, and was named Artist of the Decade by Billboard Magazine in December 2009.

OK, lets do the math
If Em has sold 100 million albums and each album costs $15, then
in total he gets 1,500 million = 1.5 billion
and thats just from albums

[Alaine]

^ the fuck? he probably gets like 15% album sales, the rest all go to labels

[James Deuce]

OK, lets do the math
If Em has sold 100 million albums and each album costs $15, then
in total he gets 1,500 million = 1.5 billion
and thats just from albums

Artists get like 1 dollar from album sales.


Anyway, he's not a billionaire. If he was everyone would know, since that's kind of a big deal.

Jay-z is not a billionaire. He's worth around 450 mill.

Em is worth around 100-150 mill.

Jay-Z isn't a business man, he's a business, man!

And he might be a billionaire over here! 1 dollar = 7 Swedish kroner. So... Multuply his money with 7!

Yeah but that doesn't make the numbers justice you know...
A billionaire is a billionaire when he has US $. That's how I see it.
