Will there ever be a hip-hop billionaire?

IDK, on one hand I want to say yes, but then you gotta realize, most billionaires alot of their wealth comes from stock and shyt they own in a company, mainly their own.
nikkas like Diddy,50 cent, Dre, dont get me wrong, they smart as hell, but a huge chunk of their couple hundred million came from endorsing something.

Yeah.
The_King_of_Everything
Yeah.
List themthere's been plenty
Eminem, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think being worth 500 million is considered wealthy
if you think any of them are billionaires
The_King_of_Everything
Yeah.

Power is in my hair nikka

just your usual nerdy brotha
Wealthy is when your so rich your kids and even their kids will benefit from your money.
Think Bill gates, The Rockefellers, Rothschilds etc.
Educate yourself my friend.

Prior to the Download era, Sales still weren't the best way for artist to make money. Tours, endorsements etc were how they made the most money. I think it's going to be easier now because there are more ways for rappers to make money.
Not to mention haven't all the record breaking album sales from previous eras been replaced with albums put out during the download era?
