Marshall Mathers has become one of the most successful rappers of all time, and his net worth proves it. Here’s how Eminem made his millions!
Eminem has all the qualities to be on the Mount Rushmore of hip-hop. Since breaking through under Dr. Dre’s guidance in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, Eminem did not slow down for a moment. His most recent release, Music to Be Murdered By in 2020 proved that Eminem is still beloved by his fans and has lots to say about his life, his contemporaries, and the current state of affairs.
Most impressive about the album’s release was that Eminem did not do any promotion for it. Despite that, the album became the ninth best-selling album of 2020, and left fans wondering what Eminem’s next project would be.
Eminem has reportedly accumulated a net worth of $250 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth. Here is how one of the fastest rappers in the business made his net worth, skyrocketing to fame in the process.
From continuing to earn residuals from his albums, putting out new music, such as Music to Be Murdered By in 2020, a second greatest hits album in 2022, and new music videos to his YouTube platform, Eminem makes an income in the tens of millions yearly. And with rumors of a new album being dropped in 2023, Eminem’s streaming and YouTube plays have remained strong against artists who released new music this year.
Eminem also opened a restaurant in Michigan in 2021, called Mom’s Spaghetti. The establishment has great reviews and appears to remain busy, which only adds to Eminem’s fortune further.
10Eminen Had 10 Consecutive Number-One Albums
Upon releasing The Slim Shady LP, Eminem declared himself ‘the worst nightmare for American parents.’ However, that doesn’t stop people from tuning into his music. Eminem has had 10 consecutive number-one albums, only being beat out by Jay-Z, who has had 11, and Taylor Swift, who holds the record with 12 consecutive number-one albums.
His last album, Music To Be Murdered By, sold over 415k copies within the first week. That is way beyond impressive, especially for competing against artists twice younger than his age.
9Eminem Created Shady Records Boutique Label
After the successful release of The Slim Shady LP, Eminem teamed up with a music attorney and a longtime friend, Paul Rosenberg, to launch Shady Records boutique music label, signing the likes of 50 Cent, Obie Trice, Slaughterhouse, and more. Initially, Shady Record served as an avenue for Eminem’s hip-hop group, D12, to release their albums.
For years, Shady Records has seen some incredible hip-hop talents. The most notable of which was 50 Cent, who had one of the best-selling debut albums of all time under the Shady Records label.
8Eminem Collaborated With Nike
Eminem is a sneakerhead. To celebrate his 2004 album Encore, he teamed up with Nike to release a collection of rare Encore-themed Air Jordan 4 and Air Force 1 sneakers. Only 23 pairs were produced during its re-release in 2017. The latest sale for a pair of Eminem’s Encore-themed sneakers is in the neighborhood of $30,000.
However, most of the net does not go directly into Eminem’s wallet. Most profits were donated to the Marshall Mathers Foundation to help the Detroit community.
7Eminem Is All About Product Endorsement
In 2013, Eminem celebrated the 30th anniversary of G-Shock with a unique collaboration: a Detroit-themed GDX6900MNM-1 digital watch with Em’s reverted ‘E,’ and ‘Shady’ signature embossed on it.
Besides the G-Shock collab, Eminem is also one of the ambassadors of Beats by Dr. Dre’s wildly successful headphone brand. He gave back to the community as an ambassador in 2017 when he granted a pair of Beat headphones to all the Flint Community School graduates in Michigan.
