The average person makes under 3 million in their entire life.
An Interactive Exploration Of Dead End Careers
This guy spent 13x what the average person makes in total in a few years.

Literally the only way I can think somebody could do that is to get all Dead Presidents and just start handing money to others. When you can have whatever you want after more than likely a brief period you'll get bored with material shyt.

It's not a bad thing to have an accountant if you're wealthy buy you need to be active in managing the money. People gotta know how much money they have and where it's going.

Agreed....tax accounting is VERY important.

Even brehs that invest well get jammed up because they didn't report the capital gains on their investments where they cashed out.

shyt happens..Rich people go broke everyday, thats capitalism...and it ain't exclusive to athletes/entertainers..People are bigots like that tho they prop up celebs/athletes especially if there black only to want to hear a story of failure to make themselves feel holier than thou lol..


I respect TPain's honesty and awareness though...He aint looking for empathy or a handout..He just telling his story

Breh still had one hell of run/career you can't take that from him and he seems be doing more than fine now....:salute:

But yeah Pain was one oof those dudes who took off when he was young too, the amount of work he was puttin in and paper that was rollin in on top of being a young naive breh who came from nothing overnight you could see how he could lose track....You could see how he didn't have foresight of a Rick Ross for example...But I will never judge a brutha considering I haven't nowhere near that success ...Brehs can talk that talk but no person is above losing it all in whatever way.....Just use it as a learning lesson and motivation to do better..

Doesnt help that music is so rehashed these days, no one would want to see him in concert because now we in the youngboy and lil so and so era.
Black legends need to keep performing, only way to make cash after signing bad deals etc.

Back of the envelope math suggest he makes about $462K annually just off Spotify numbers. He's probably making close to a $800-$900k a year when you factor in all the other streaming services. He's not broke if he's doing more intelligent things but he's likely nowhere near $40 million.

he said he sold everything for $100 million. Sounds like he has a deal where the company owns the stuff he creates in the future too,

Then he went and bought an airplane

:snoop:

He claims that he can negotiate payment for future rights of other intellectual property but they don’t own anything new unless he wants them to.
