You never see any power-houses like Beyonce becoming a billionaire Rappers are 'cool', and the products with their name attached to it sell a lot. Nobody's going to buy Ed Sheeran or Adele fashion or champagne, Versace and Nike aren't going to collaborate with them, etc. Also, many rappers really seem to be business-savvy.

I was just thinking of this interview I once watched back in the 90s (or earlier?) when he was just getting started and was a C list celebrity, still living in the hood, and talking about how he has to do whatever it takes to get out of there and live a better life for him and his future children + leave a legacy and it was all so inspirational but now to read that he's become a billionaire I just find it so remarkable. That's a true self made, nobody around him taught him how to do it he just taught himself, he struggled, he tried, it takes guts and belief in yourself. When people talk about Kylie Jenner being a self made billionaire it just makes me roll my eyes. It's like you inherited a forest and you've managed to grow a cherry tree ! You'd be the dumbest if you didn't grow it, you have everything to do it quick, you got dirt, you got water, you got seeds, you got people to help you plant them, you can even call a cherry tree specialist, and you even got your mom who successfully built an olive tree plantation. if I didnt plant a cherry tree myself id question my intelligence Now try to grow a rose out of concrete, now that's impressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
