Eminem has an estimated net worth of $130 million
American record producer and rapper Eminem has an estimated net worth of $130 million. Eminem is the first hip-hop artist to win three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album (The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show). Eminem is 5’8″ and weighs 155 pounds. Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. His mother nearly died during Eminem’s 73-hour childbirth. Eminem’s father and mother were in a band named Daddy Warbucks before the relationship ended, with his father leaving the family for good and moving to California. With his mother, Eminem moved around often, staying with family until they settled in Warren, Michigan when he was 11. Eminem would spend many years living in predominantly African-American neighborhoods and was often targeted and beat up for being white.
Initially interested in the storytelling associated with comic books, Eminem turned his attention to hip hop after hearing his first rap song. He dropped out of high school and took a number of jobs, but wrote lyrics in his free time. At 14, he started participating in rap battles and hip hop contests at schools or clubs. He honed his craft and began to gain an underground following. He joined a couple of hip hop outfits in the mid-1990s, none of which had much success. He was then signed by a record label and recorded his first album, Infinite, but it did not garner much press and he struggled to keep afloat, even attempting suicide. Eminem would then start to pour more of his aggression and violence into his music and the result resonated deeply with audiences. In 1997, he released the Slim Shady EP, which immediately garnered attention and eventually resulted in The Slim Shady LP in 1999, which became one of the most popular albums of the year.
The Slim Shady LP skyrocketed Eminem to fame and fortune selling more than 10 million albums worldwide. But it was just the beginning. The follow-up, The Marshall Mathers LP, sold 19 million albums in 2000, as did The Eminem Show in 2002. All his subsequent albums would sell millions and Eminem has distinguished himself equally as a producer. He was listed by Rolling Stone magazine as 82nd on the list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time” and he has 10 number-one albums on Billboard 200. He has sold more than 115 million albums worldwide. In 2002, Eminem starred in 8 Mile, a fictionalized version of his ascent in the rap world. The film earned $242 million. He has been married twice, to the same woman, and has a daughter.
