If your doing 200 shows a year

That means you are on the road and living in hotels damn near everyday

Who cares :what:

You can do it for 2-3 years and then quit with enough money to never have to work again. The average American works for close to 300 days a year anyway

You guys still believe in this mythical forbes list shyt. WOW.


It's pretty accurate...I'm happy just Wiz is ahead of the new school this go round. fukk a control mention.

Revenue of course. There's no way forbes knows anything about how much these people are spending. They aint the IRS.

There are ways to verify this through accountants and attorneys. The are pretty dilligent as publication when it comes to this. So much so they even discredited That Arab prince's networth because he tried to inflate the stats by pumping up shares right before the evaluation date.

A lake near Tampa FL
Beats going to a reg job day in day out with 2 weeks vacation for not even anywhere close to that. Diff scenery, people everyday doing something he obviously loves. I respect that.

The traveling between the different venues is tedious and you're spending most of your time on a tour bus and a hotel room... not to mention the annoyance of living out of a suitcase. And you still gotta perform and give your fans a dope performance every night.... I don't think tour life is as great as you're making it out to be breh.

You really believe this shyt is accurate don't you, well its not. Many celebs have stated that forbes is completely wrong. I will show you a couple of instances where Forbes made a list in December and then turn around maybe a couple to 3 months later with different numbers. It is all educated guessing. They don't have access to the accountants nor IRS filings as well as some of the cats are silent partners in businesses as well as investments. Now would you hand over your financial statements to Forbes? or tell them one thing just too look good in the media and turn around and get audited.

I believe 50 cent is an investor is he not ? If you hold shares in a publicly traded company there is a risk your networth on paper can change in months.

Mark Zuckerbergs networth was $9.4 B September 2012 then $13.3 B March 2013 present day he is worth $19 B September 2013... In one year his networth has doubled due to the price of his shares. And these a billions of dollars

Eike Batista went from being worth 30 billion to 10 billion in just 12 months. It happens.

Going by your rhetoric you are saying Wiz Khalifa is a better liar than Ross ?
