Dre said it was the only time in his career he had found someone with real talent on a demo tape he made them go find Eminem right away so he could bring him to his label he was criticized for signing a white rapper but he said it was absolutely worth it number 5 Eminem has a net worth of one hundred and ninety million dollars eminem earned most of his money early in his career he made multiple albums and starred in a hit movie 8 mile but rather than squander his money like so many others he saved a lot of it and invested wisely he's continued to make about 10 to 15 million dollars a year from his old music and continues to record music to this day he said to be worth at least 190 million dollars a lot of his music came from touring with each album he put out he would go on a world tour earning millions every time he's also started his own record label Shady Records which earns him a nice sum every year as well number 6 the rapper was once fired from his job a week before

to make enough money to pay for diapers and formula when his daughter was only six months old he got fired from his job a week before Christmas he only had $40 to his name to buy her Christmas presents he was surprised he was fired and so are we when reporters spoke to his old boss he said Eminem had a great work ethic and was a great employee number 7 Eminem was a drug addict until 2008 after celebrating ten years of sobriety in 2018 the star finally admitted to just how bad his drug addiction had been early in his career for over 10 years the star used just about any substance he could get his hands on his addiction was to prescription pills all of them he started using vicodin but moved on to oxycodone xanax and anything he could swallow he said his drug addiction was out of control friends and family would tell him he had a problem and he'd tell them they were crazy he said that since he never used heroin or cocaine he didn't think he had a problem but it wasn't until he overdosed and nearly died in 2008 that he realized he need help he went to rehab and has been clean ever since number eight in 2001 Eminem was charged with assault with a deadly weapon back in 2001

middle school and in high school Eminem was a big fan of comic books he wanted to be a comic book artist when he grew up he loved English class and he loved rap he realized that by reading and using the dictionary he could come up with some really good song lyrics so he abandoned his hopes of comic books and went on to try his hand at music things didn't turn out too badly for him in the end we think he made the right decision number 10 the musician gave away a four hundred and fifty thousand dollar diamond necklace Eminem enjoys buying nice things in addition to his many Porsche and Ferrari cars he likes nice jewelry he had bought himself a diamond necklace for four hundred and fifty thousand dollars he was wearing it onstage at a concert once when he noticed a fan admiring the necklace

it he said he feels bad for people who are fooled by Trump clearly he's no fan of the president number 12 in 2018 Eminem engaged in rap battle warfare with fellow rapper Machine Gun Kelly over the years rappers always go back and forth with other rappers making fun of each other and calling them out one rapper that Eminem has had long-running problems with is a rapper named a Machine Gun Kelly

allow any cursing in his home he doesn't curse and he doesn't allow his daughter haily to curse either he said if you come into his house obey this rule because he doesn't want anyone cursing near his
