All these lists about how much artists are worth and how much they earn are really accurate? That's a lot of money, how much are they really seein' from that?

Lol, I know... but I'd like someone with industry knowledge to come with some inside info. Those numbers must be net income, but Im pretty sure labels, lawyers, managers, entourages, and taxes are not considered when takin' into account them numbers. also how much of that comes in liquidity assets

Them Lo Lifes...
In the article it said pretax.

All b.s. aside I think most of you are thinking domestic and dont take the tours, merch, endorsements, radio play, music licensing, publisher/writer earnings , private bookings etc of worldwide territories into account. :salute:

So its not far fetched cats pulling in that much.

:win:
