I remember hearing back during that run he was gettin around 75k a vs and he did like 100 features that year.
Crazy how Wayne went broke when during his Peak he was making $2 Million a Verse.

You know how many rappers had 2 million dollar budgets for their entire project? Let alone using it all for one persons verse? Most rappers get 2 million dollar budget for 2 albums if their lucky. And that's the high end rappers. I'm talking Kanye, Eminem types.

no you don't
maybe one time that happened... and that's a huge fukking maybe
mainly cause nobody would have that cash.. they'd get it from their label... and no label is risking an irs audit, or not being able to get that money written off, by paying in cash and doing it under the table
not for a damn unreleased michael jackson song... definitely not for a lil waybe is still alive verse
For you idiots who don't think he did , in 2007 if you had a lil Wayne feature you were guaranteed to sell 100k plus, doesn't matter who it was. Plus guaranteed a national tour based off that one song.
That covers the 2 mil right there

So glad someone posted this...now let's talk.
Lets say that in this time he got nothing but 5k a feature we know it's more than that but let's just use that as a nice round figure that everyone can agree on.
The are 597 songs on that list so let's just say that 197 of them are in house and he got nothing for.
That leaves 400 songs.
If paid 5k for those 400 songs he'd have made 2milli off of features alone, that's no endorsements, record sales, tours nothing.
Looked this up and here is what I found:
By 2012, Lil wayne was earning $600,000 for every concert he performed. With the profits from his own music and performances and the music recorded under his imprint, he earned $46 million in 2013 alone and has a net worth of $135 million.
So in 2013 he was said to be worth 135 million dollars...shyt is crazy and sad. I truly wonder how much he has in his account along with Baby and his brother.

first off... taxes... so chop all those numbers in half, right off top... or maybe not... which is why he currently owes 13 million in tax money
then people he gotta.. manager, tour manager, 4 baby moms, kids, agent, accountant, stylist, entourage, etc
then go with spending... dude out here buying 3 million dollar cars and million dollar painting... imagine what his houses, furniture, hotels, flights, drugs, women, studio time, etc cost
then account for baby... who he says owes him about another 50 million.... so who's to say lil wayne even got this money directly
it's always nice to look at what someone made... but nobody ever reports what they have to spend

Bruh ain't now way he made that type of money and should be broke. We all know that he got raped by the Williams brothers and that is why he is broke, plain and simple. shyt is crazy that someone who was worth 135 million THREE YEARS AGO is crying broke.

you gotta understand... him crying broke, 50 cent crying broke, even mc hammer crying broke
is 10000% different than us crying broke... we broke, we eating oodles of noodles and shopping at dollar tree
they still flying private, getting 6 figure checks, and living the life... they just owe a lot of people money... but they still got money on them
