U my friend are misinformed. U must still think its 1995. Tech get his money off shows not record sales. Tech aint seeing $10 off no record!! And I hope and would guess Tech is doing "Okay" financially but far far from rich. Court Dog is the only rapper "I" know of from KC that could probably be catagorized as lightweight "rich" but its not from music. But I hope Tech gets his just do real soo.
dawg, i bet you tech is making damn near $500K a year. real talk.
he's probably pulling down at least 5 or 6 stacks a night AFTER he pays everybody. X 60 nights a year = 350K
+ features
+ royalties from a healthy (and constantly growing) catalog
+ let's assume at this point he's probably smart enough to invest his money in some other ventures like an IRA/personal retirement, real estate, life insurance, stocks, bonds, etc.
look at alot of the ringtone rappers and fly-by-night shit that get's play and fades into bolivian. tech is shitting on alot of some of the biggest artists in history. just look at michael jackson. hardly any of the artist are knocking down show money like tech, or any other money for that matter. alot of doctors, lawyers, small businesses don't net in the 100K's. when you put it into perspective tech is doing extremely well. he probably spends 160+ days a year traveling and spending money w/o a care in the world. i guarantee you won't find a doctor or lawyer his age with that amount of cash flow and leisure time.
