I'm surprised Em's that high.

He was on the chronic too.

[Sam.]

Eminem's ahead of Birdman? Wow.

At least. Smh. With all the tour he does. He should sell more Shady merchandise.

He loses most of his money buying Lil Wayne's album.

That doesn't change his Net Worth doe.

Eminem, 50 and Dre all in a row.

Lol at people saying 50 will be on top soon. Explain to me how... When The Blueprint dropped (2001) Jay was worth $40 million. Ten years later he's worth half a billion. In the same amount of time 50 has accumulated only half the wealth of Jay-Z and to be totally honest around $100M or $150M was from vitamin water. No way will 50 ever top that list.

He recently signed a boxing deal. Boxing is THE thing right now, so you'll see.. 50 Cent wasn't worth shit in 2003.

50 Cent is a clever businessman.

Lol a boxing deal. K we'll see if it makes him $300,000,000...

Don't forget, Jay owns a part of Arsenal FC and football (particularly in England) is much bigger than boxing.

[Atone]

so, Shady/Aftermath combined is the richest label?

[I'mShady]

So Em is by far the richest from music related businesses only.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

When's the last time diddy TRULY rapped?

2010 ? Last Train To Paris was his last album. Though maybe he's singing on it, I have no idea lol.

I stress the word 'truly'

50 has got a 10-movie deal with lionsgate, he just signed boxers ( mayweather will probaly follow ), he has launched several apps, rumors say he's making a whisky brand and fuck knows what else he's up to. yes 50 will be on top of the list in a few years.

Sure, because Jay-Z and Diddy probably won't make another cent... Jay has his music, his tours, Kanye's music, The Throne's Music, The Throne's tours, Rihanna's music, J. Cole's music, not to mention football clubs and and night clubs and any other business ventures he has chosen to make. If you take away 50s vitamin water deal he wouldn't have much more money than Wayne.

If you just look at the music money, Em is the king? Or his non-touring philosophy fucks him up?

He has obviously made more money from music because he has sold more than any other artist. No doubt the sales of D12, 50 Cent and Obie Trice generated a lot for him because they were signed to his label and that's where the big money is made. His non touring philosophy allows him to charge $5,000,000 per show. Well, that's what he got per show when he performed in Australia.
