Buttloads!

With a new clothing line and a high-profit Girls Gone Wild video on the way, Eminem is now the world’s richest rapper. Sprinting past P. Diddy (whose net worth Fortune magazine estimates at $293.7 million), Marshall Mathers is raking it in from all sides: a quarter of the gate receipts at every concert; up to 40 percent of all merchandise; a fee between $3 million and $10 million for 8 Mile, which grossed $200 million worldwide; a piece of the sales of the 8 Mile DVD (which took in $40 million the first day it was released); fees from an upcoming pay-per-view concert; and most recently, a share of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, protégé 50 Cent’s debut on Eminem’s Shady label; the soon-to-be-released Eminem Girls Gone Wild video, which promises to sell millions of copies; and Shady Ltd., his line of sweats and baggy jeans, which hit the racks at Macy’s in April.

Though Eminem’s take from his own 46 million worldwide album sales remains a matter of some speculation, songwriting and publishing royalties he has accrued range between $92 million and $182 million.
