From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Missy Elliott – $50 Million

In 1997, she flipped hip-hop on its head with trash bags, fish-eye lenses, and beats from outer space. Melissa Arnette Elliott, aka Missy Elliott, was born July 1, 1971, and turned her creative genius into a $50 million fortune by 2024. Her debut, “Supa Dupa Fly,” changed everything, and the hits never let up.

In 2024, she finally headlined her tour, “Out of This World,” and fans across the United States got a full dose of her futuristic magic. That same year, the White House handed her the National Medal of Arts. From Portsmouth to presidential honors, Missy didn’t chase the culture; she created it.
