A friend of mine just produced a show for him, and it cost him approx. 40 grand for his show.

Minus out about 20% for management, and about another 40% for extra charges: He just made $16,000.

Now he doesn't just do one show, he will tour for at least 4 shows at a time. Read: AT LEAST. So in about three weeks he just made: $64,000

An artist like Meth probably does what 4 tours per year? Let's just lowball it at 4. Because 4 tours of 4 shows is hella easy... I bet he does 8 city tiurs in Europe, plus he did like 5 Rock the Bells...

We are at $256,000 in one year off shows alone.

Net worth today is not the same as total profits. His networth is probably $500,000 including acting, merchandise, marketing, records, shows, etc.

But he has been around for about 15 years now? Yup.

And we all know he was worth more back then... but lets ignore those numbers.. PLUS we haven't even mentioned money from the Wu!!! or Blackout.. his 15 dollars...

so 15 x $500,000 is his total profits so far accrued: $7,500,000

Add 30% for safe measure: $9,750,000

now minus taxes (approx. 25%) = $7,312,500

Thats far from 50 mil.
this shit reads like a foxy brown verse
c'mon now jigga can write better than that

ya fuck.
From 1993 to 2009? Are you a fucking idiot? I'm talking total in his entire rap career you're spitting out his current average. We're talking 16 years and all you think he cleared was 7M. That is a little over $437,500 a year.

One half ass show your buddy produced doesn't justify his earnings homie.

you got three quarters of another ki uhhhhh...

anyways...it sounds like meth is just as irresponsible with his money as the rest of us unfortunately, most of us can't make 16,000 (or whatever it was) in one night.

It's not what you make, it's what you spend. I can make 90 billion, if I spend 100 billion I am broke. I don't buy it for one minute, I don't care how high you are, the tax people start threatening you and if you have the money you pay. It looks worse not to pay, then you end up in the exact situation he is in.... trying to make people believe you still have money. Something is amiss here.

It is not that hard to believe if you really think about his lifestyle.. He is probably always on the road and when he get back his mail is stacked up to the ceiling.

I am not saying he isn't stupid, just saying it is possible he still has good money but just real real careless.

I get that, I'm just saying I don't buy it. But, I could be wrong. Like Judge Judy says "if it doesn't make sense, it's probably a lie."

Also, they do more than send a few letters before they come and get your shit. They visit you in person MANY TIMES, especially if they can't catch up with you. They freeze bank accounts, put liens your on shit etc....
