Can't remember who said it, but there was a rumor Pharrell had already had money and tax issues like 10 years ago. He got it back when I'm Happy became a huge hit...allegedly

Extremely hard to believe considering the depth of his catalogue and him/Chad were getting actual points off of projects they heavily contributed to.

Most producers get paid for their services but once you get points that means you’re eating from the same table as the label. Only a handful of hitmakers will get it like that.

Mans can live off the songwriting portion of his publishing alone and he never stopped working since 1992.

For sure its hard to believe. But he may have had really bad spending habits...and the tax man is taking half. R. Kelly has a million hits too but still had money problems before he was arrested. We assume that Pharrell is "smarter" :mjpls: but you never know...

Williams told Vassell that his consumption habits were significantly different when he was an artist and producer in the ’90s. “All of these items were made at a time to prove myself to my city, my peers,” he said, sharing that his younger self was a tad more “braggadocious.” Williams credited his decision to part ways with a significant amount of the objects in his life to a wake up call. “When your business manager says, ‘Are you just going to continue to pay for 11 storage units to archive things…” you realize that you’re holding on to so much. You have to let things go and ascend to the next level.
