Marshall Bruce Mathers III, professionally known as Eminem, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He’s widely regarded as one of the most influential and best-selling artists of the 21st century, both in and out of the rap/hip-hop scene.

Eminem’s meteoric rise to fame began in 1998, after being discovered by record producer Dr. Dre. His breakthrough album, The Slim Shady LP (1999), was a massive success, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and quickly going quadruple platinum in the United States. The album won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.

Eminem’s 25+ year career earned him a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. Let’s discuss Eminem’s various income sources, including what he makes from music, touring, and various business ventures.

What Is Eminem’s Net Worth? 

As of 2025, Eminem’s net worth is estimated to be $250 million. Much of his net worth comes from his highly successful career as a rap artist.

Music Career 

Eminem has consistently broken records throughout his career.

According to Billboard, Eminem has sold over 220 million records, making him the best-selling rapper of all time. He’s sold more albums and records than Kanye West and Jay-Z combined, which by all accounts are considered some of the most well-known names in the music industry.

Eminem’s best-selling albums include The Eminem Show (2002) with over 40.5 million albums sold, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) with 36.5 million albums sold, and Recovery (2010) with 22 million albums sold.

Royalties and Music Streaming

Eminem earns a sizable amount through royalties and music streaming platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Eminem has over 65 million subscribers on YouTube and has amassed nearly 35 billion views since the channel’s inception in 2007.

His most-viewed videos are as follows:

• When I’m Gone: 1 billion views
• The Real Slim Shady: 1.1 billion views
• Mockingbird: 1.3 billion views
• Rap God: 1.5 billion views
• Not Afraid: 2 billion views
• Without Me: 2.2 billion views
• Love the Way You Lie (ft. Rihanna): 3 billion views

YouTube pays its artists between $0.003 and $0.005 per view, meaning that he’s earned around $105 million to $175 million in YouTube ad revenue.

On Spotify, Eminem has a combined total of 59 billion streams. His most popular song, “Without Me,” has 2.7 billion streams, followed by “Lose Yourself” with 2.6 billion streams, “Til I Collapse” with 2.3 billion streams, and “The Real Slim Shady” with 2.2 billion streams.

Spotify pays its artists about the same as YouTube ($0.003 and $0.005 per stream), so Eminem has earned between $175 million and $290 million from the platform.

Touring 

Eminem’s tours are among the most anticipated in the music industry.

In 2015, Eminem co-headlined The Monster Tour with Rihanna. The tour grossed $36 million from just six shows in North America and had over 580,000 attendees, making it one of the highest-grossing tours that year.

The 2019 Rapture Tour saw similar success, earning approximately $42.8 million from just seven shows. His highest-grossing solo show was in Melbourne, earning $11.24 million.

Eminem continues to go on tours to this day. His most recent tour took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he headlined the Soundstone Festival in December 2024. He performed in front of 75,000 people, contributing to a total festival attendance of around 200,000 over three days.

Business Ventures 

Shady Records

In 1999, Eminem co-founded Shady Records alongside his then-manager Paul Rosenberg following the commercially successful release of The Slim Shady LP that same year.

The record’s first major signing was D12, Eminem’s Detroit-based rap group, followed by artists like 50 Cent, whose debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ became a massive commercial success and catapulted the label into relevancy. Over the years, Shady Records has also signed artists like Obie Trice, Yelawolf, Proof, Boogie, G-Unit, and Bad Meets Evil.

Mom’s Spaghetti

Eminem founded the restaurant Mom’s Spaghetti, which opened in September 2021 in Detroit, Michigan. The restaurant is inspired by a famous lyric from Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself,” in which he raps about “mom’s spaghetti.”

True to the name, the restaurant serves a variety of spaghetti dishes, including plain, with meatballs, vegan “rabbit balls,” and bolognese sauce. It also offers spaghetti sandwiches and sides like garlic bread.

Within the restaurant is a small merchandise shop called The Trailer, which features memorabilia, merchandise like t-shirts, tote bags, jackets, and caps, as well as collectibles and special edition items. In addition to the restaurant, Eminem also launched Mom’s Spaghetti Tomato Sauce at $13 per jar.

The restaurant has a generally positive rating on Google Reviews and Tripadvisor, with many appreciating the restaurant’s generous portion size, tasty spaghetti sauce, and juicy meatballs. Food prices are on the affordable side at $10 to $20 per item.

Shade 45

Shade 45 is one of Eminem’s business ventures, an uncensored hip-hop station on the Sirius XM radio channel. The station was launched in 2004 and regularly hosts unfiltered rap music, world premieres, and exclusive interviews.

Shade 45’s revenue details are kept private, but SiriusXM earned a total revenue of $2.14 billion and a net income of $205 million in Q2 2025, with $432 million coming from advertising.

Since Shade 45 is one of the radio station’s flagship channels with a dedicated listener base, it likely earns a portion of that through advertising, sponsorships, and subscriber engagement.

Real Estate 

Eminem has several real estate properties to his name. Among them is an 8,900-square-foot property in Clinton Township, Michigan, which has been his primary residence for over 20 years. He purchased the property in 2000 for $1.4 million.

Music-wise, Eminem performed alongside famous artists like Rihanna, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Elton John, Snoop Dogg, and Ed Sheeran, with songs often generating massive commercial success.

“Love the Way You Lie” (2010) fr. Rihanna is one of his biggest hits, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks. The song sold over 12 million copies worldwide and is often considered one of the defining tracks of the 2010s.
