I figured I would just drop out a few facts on money and real Heavy Hitters.
Tiger Woods is on track to be the first billionaire athlete. There are over a thousand billionaires. Bill Gates from Microsoft is now number three. He is behind Mexican, Carlos “Slim Thugga” Helu and Warren Buffet. Check out the Forbes site for more on billionaires.
2008 Rap/HipHop Earners (this came from BadCopNoDonuts who got it from Forbes) Notice Dre, Em, and Snoop are still on top. 50 is just killin (though most of the money came from the one time sell of vitamin water). Diddy is third which is almost 5 times less than 50. I was surprised to see Swizz Beatz making so much, but dude hustles, so more power to him.
