I've never been a big fan of 40 but if he's worth 9 figures that makes me happy. I feel like a lot of legends from his era aren't doing well financially so it's good to hear he is.
Same. I can believe it. E-40 and many of those bay area artists manage to be successful for longer periods of time. West coast rappers in general.
Didn't he just drop an album last year? He's been around since I was young and that was over 20 years ago.E-40's a legend. without a doubt.

As reported by the Sacramento Bee, over 180,000 bottles of Earl Stevens Selections, named after the rapper’s birth name, have been sold in California this year, while a bottle signing by the 46-year-old rapper at a Sacramento branch of Costo in March drew over 1,000 fans.
Having added the brand to its portfolio in January, Southern Wine & Spirits is struggling to keep up with demand for the trio, which has become one of the company’s fastest growing brands, accounting for US$2m in net sales.
“It’s been phenomenal. It just took off and we couldn’t keep up – and really, it’s just getting started,” Paul Thompson, vice president and regional sales director for Southern Wine & Spirits told the Sacramento Bee.
Earl Stevens Selections
Sales of Earl Stevens Selections have vastly surpassed those of other celebrity wines in the Southern portfolio, including Bethenny Frankel’s Skinny Girl range.
Ranging from US$9.99 to $15.99, the trio Earl Stevens Selections is comprised of Function, a blend of Lodi Zinfandel and Cabernet, a Moscato and fruity 18% abv fortified wine Mangoscato, which is the best seller of the three.
The range was created by UC Davis graduate Steve Burch, who has been pleasantly surprised by how warmly the wines have been received.
“Winemakers dream about that kind of success. I’d be happy to do the kind of sales in five years that Earl Stevens Selections has done in six months. It’s insane,” Burch told the Sacramento Bee.
Made at DFV Wines in Manteca, grapes are sourced from California’s Central Valley. Rather than going for a “bling” label in a bid to attract clubbers and fellow rappers, Stevens has opted for an understated look for the range.
“People think that just because I’m a rapper, the bottle will have musical notes. But this bottle looks like it’s been around for 100 years,” Stevens told the Sacramento Bee.
E-40 has been synonymous with West Coast hip-hop since the early ‘90s."
If 40 aint already worth 100 meal tickets he about to be

It's a interview somewhere in the net where Mac Minister talks about the shady shyt E-40 did that lead to him getting stomped out by The Click Crew.
E-40 is a real BOSS in Cali. If he do you wrong and you feel some way about it you betta just accept that shyt and tuck yo tail.
