can u estimate 50 CENT net worth?

[georgie24]

since his album release day how much do you think he's worth? i say 5-10 million easy! he is still dominating album sales and shit, plus he has some shit coming out april 15th.

by the way this is not a groupie thread, mostly politics and economics. save your rap battles for another thread

 

[The Almighty]

$.50

 

[duritz]

he prolly signed a 3 or 4 record contract for like $2 million. so no matter what his record sales are it doesn't get him a cent. record execs love to fuck over dumb ass losers like him. I doubt much more than that. He's the flavor of the week.

 

[gsxr1000]

$.50

 

[slickdadd]

he is probably deep in debt. the record industry doesn't work that way brogan.

 

[ajtomasi]

the only people making money from 50 cent are Eminem and Dr. Dre.

It's been done to him before. when he got $50K for an album that guy from Run DMC got all of it.

 

[Code]

Not much prolly.
Given the way record companies are structuring their deals, he probably owes *them* money.

He likely spends all his cabbage on bling bling.

 

[WarriorPL]

Close to nothing.

The producers make all the money. That's why Dre and MasterP are worth millions and millions... they make it off fools like 50

 

[georgie24]

U CAN TALK ALL YOU WANT 50 cent is not "dumb" nor is he a genious. once you realize that everything will fall in line. its obvious the kid has something between his ears

Info to keep in mind...

"Once an artist has the attention of the record labels, there are other benefits to controlling your own destiny. According to many entertainment law attorneys the deals once given as 'standard' deals to new artists can change significantly when a band is being sought-out by a label, The following recording contract issues are more negotiable than ever, if an artist has done some development of their own:

*Better royalty rates: Artists are paid for the records they record from a percentage of the sales of that record, based on a percentage of the list price of their records. A high rate just a few years ago for a new act was 14-16 points whereas 'Buzz Acts' (the name given to acts that are in demand by labels,) can get up to several points higher, if they are in demand.

*Ownership of masters: When an artist can buy back the master recordings they made for a label after their contract has expired, or after the label drops them, they are more in control of their destinies than artists who cannot do this. It can be easier to negotiate a speedier reversion of master ownership if a label wants the artist.

*Creative control issues: Many artists are concerned about labels deciding key issues regarding selection of material, producer, graphic images etc. If these issues are important to you, take the time to develop your career.

*Non-recoupable issues: 'Buzz Bands' have more say in what a label can claim as ‘automatic’ recoupable expenses (promotion costs, videos, % of touring budgets etc.)

*Controlled Composition Clauses: In a nutshell, this is a clause that labels insert into their contracts with most new artists that reduces, to 75%, the amount of money due to the songwriter and publishers for the songs on the record from product sales. The standard rate, (currently 7.5 cents per song, per record or ‘unit’ sold) is more negotiable with ‘Buzz acts’.

These issues are more than enough reasons for artists to examine their methods of securing recording contracts. The more time an act takes to build a modicum of success on their own without a label’s help, the more they secure a position of power when dealing with recording and publishing contracts when they present themselves. "

Oh, I bet it's ALOT less than that. In bankruptcy court the girls from TLC claimed they netted less than $100K each from their first big record deal. Artists get what their contract calls for , which is signed well before sales can be anticipated, and a very minute amount from record sales unless you're Michael Jackson. However, the money they get while on tour is almost all gravy so that's where they rake in the dough.

Exactly. 50 cent is barely different from Britney Spears. Someone writes the tunes and makes the music. Puppet comes into studio and sings/raps. They then promote. Singers/Rappers primary job is marketing themselves and their record. The big money is touring where they keep most of the profits.

HE SIGNED A DEAL THAT NETTED HIM $1 MILL AFTER ALL OTHER EXPENSES HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW. AS FOR HIM NOT GETTING ANYTHING FROM SALES.......THATS NOT ACCURATE. HE GETS ROYALTIES FROME EACH RECORD SOLD. THE EXECS AND WHATNOT GET MOST, BUT HE GETS SOME. I WAS READING A WHILE BACK THAT THE AVERAGE ROYALTY IS 1-2$ PER RECORD. 50 IS NOT SOME NO NAME IDIOT WHO DOESNT HAVE ANY PULL SO HE PROBABLY HAD MORE SAY SO IN HIS DEAL.

BESIDES, HIS DEAL IS WITH SHADY/AFTERMATH WHICH IS DRE AND EM. I THINK INTERSCOPE IS THE DISTIBUTORS.

I actually put quotes before and after the first word of my post so everyone could tell that I wasn't the author of the info. I guess everyone else understood it but you. I'll try harder for you next time.

Since law school I've belong to a sports & entertainment organization and we share info. It came from one of the websites given thru that organization.

Royalty is more like $.10 . No way is it $1-2 If that were true, when he sells 1,000,000, he gets $1,000,000. No way does it work that way.

most acts have this royaly. some , like metallica, recieve 4 dollars / record.
but they have to pay part of the costs, for promotion, videos, production etc.
almost all acts make most, if not all money from touring

 

[powerforward]

$4 fro a record that sells for 12-15 bucks? .25 to .50 is a lot closer. i do agree that the bigger acts get a bigger cut and that most if not all of the big bucks are made on touring and merchandise sales. .50 is probably doing alright thou.

There was a special on MTV about Hip Hop stars and how much they were making and they explained it really well and they are not making much.

They get an advance when they sign but with that advance the artist has to pay for everything. Say you get a 1mil contract after
taxes (50%) buying a house, car and living expenses you are left with pretty much nothing.

Then once the record drops and money starts to come in they have to recoup (not sure if I spelled that right) that money back to the record company.

They say the way artists make money is by doing tours or coming out with a clothing line etc.

Now the producers are making lots and lots of money.

 

[kunta]

in that same MTV special Q-Tip from Tribe called quest said he only got 15,000 after all expenses and stuff for the Low End Theory Album

THE ROYALTIES USED TO BE VERY LOW. NOW, MOST OF THE RECORD COMPANIES ARE OWNED BY THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES OR CLOSE FRIENDS/ASSOCIATES. THE CONVENTIONAL RECORD COMPANIES ARE NOW MAINLY DISTRIBUTORS. I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND THE ARTICLE I WAS READING THAT OUTLINED ROUGHLY WHAT ARTISTS ROYALTIES WERE.

50 DID SAY THAT ON HIS SECOND RECORD DEAL, HE WOUND UP WITH 5K CASH OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE 50K. HE SAID HE FLIPPED IT ON DOPE. THIS IS ACTUALLY HIS THIRD RECORD DEAL. HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE WANTED TO WALK AWAY WITH A MILLION JUST TO SIGN. DRE AND EM GAVE HIM THAT ALONG WITH THE DISTRIBUTOR.

ON A SIDE NOTE.....I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW BIGGIE IS ONE OF THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS ON LIL KIM'S NEW ALBUM "LA BELLA MAFIA".
