From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Nelly – $70 Million

Before MoShine bottles hit the shelves or babies with Ashanti made headlines, Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. was making hips bounce with “Hot in Herre.” Born November 2, 1974, the world knows him as Nelly, and by 2025, he’s built a $70 million empire. His debut “Country Grammar” went diamond, making him one of the best-selling rappers of his era.

He landed roles in films like “The Longest Yard,” launched business ventures, including his liquor brand, and, in 2023, sold half his music catalog for $50 million. Between chart history and hustle, he’s done it all, with a southern drawl and a platinum smile.
