Duck Tale Time…Jim Jones “ I made 20 million off we fly high, its all gone now

[King Poetic]

Didn’t he lose his house in New Jersey because he couldn’t pay the mortgage

 

[Lieutenant Daniels]

I don’t know about 20 mil but I’m sure he ate good off that record. It was everywhere. Even the NFL was using it during the playoff advertisements that year. Unless he didn’t own the publishing

 

[Remote]

I really can't comprehend how someone can say they squandered 20 million dollars and say "no regrets"

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

I definitely believe that he pissed away all that money....but i do believe he's omitting that single is what got him the deal with Columbia.

He's already admitted that he was spending tens of thousands of the labels money in the club every night.... But also considering 2 failed clothing lines, a flopped album and getting dropped from Columbia i can see where that $20M could've went.

Said he had multiple properties and owed a lot more than what the house was worth

 

[Tribal Outkast]

So you don’t regret spending all the money from your biggest song?


Stop lying man lol. Nobody cares about Ballin anymore. It’s over

Jim Jones net worth in 2025 $400k

So nah, he never made close to $20M for his entire career, let alone from one song

Y'all nikkas thinking these rap nikkas making NBA money or some shyt

 

[ExodusNirvana]

That song was huge for a solid 2.5 years

I absolutely believe he made that and lost it on literally balling at the club and failed business ventures

Maybe.

Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines allegedly made around 17 million (in profit). It's possible We Fly High made that much or more.

But let's say Jim Jones only made 5 million off that song and not 20.

It's still a tragedy to squander that.

Blurred Lines was 10x bigger my breh. We Fly High was a hit, but it wasn't some crossover, global hit. It charted at #5 in the hot 100.

Blurred Lines was #1 in like 25 different countries.

 

[richaveli83]

Breh didn't make $20 million off that song!

I'm pretty he did make money off of it, though. That song was everywhere.

He said he blew it all. It makes sense for his net worth to be low.

#5 on the Hot 100 is a huge rap song in 2006. He also included touring. Like I said in the Booth version of this thread I think the 5-ish years of relevance from the record let him milk 20M.
