EMINEM – NET WORTH: $230 MILLION

American rapper Eminem was given credit for popularizing hip hop in the Midwestern and Southern parts of the US. As such, he was a largely controversial singer during the peak of his fame in the 2000s. He was seen as a representative of the underclass and their everyday angst. He drew mixed reactions from the crowd, with some throwing vitriol, but with many others appreciating his music. The singer went on a hiatus for a couple of years and then resurfaced in 2009, releasing his sixth studio album, Relapse.

Eminem now has a net worth of $230 million, which means he has the money to make things happen. It was not all sunshine for the singer though as in 2018, he and Jay-Z were making a claim against the collapsed Weinstein Company, after its founder Harvey Weinstein was embroiled in controversies that involved the courts. The rapper made a claim for $480,000 based on the bankruptcy papers he submitted. We hope that he recovers all, if not most of it.
