His 2014 tour with Rihanna, raked in about $36.4million for only six shows.
Not bad for less than a week.
According to Stylecaster, when the rapper is actively touring, he can easily bring in between $30million and $50million.
How about his real estate?
The 15-time Grammy Award winner used to have a home in Clinton Township, Michigan, that he purchased in 2020 for $1.4million.
The luxury pad has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, and 17,500 square feet of space.

Last December, it was put on the market for $3.2million.
In September 2017, the rapper also sold his $1.9million mansion in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
The mansion had six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a swimming pool, plus an oval-shaped pond.
It also had a massive tennis court, which he then reworked into a basketball court.
How does he spend his money?
While it may not be the toughest collector’s item, Eminem is a massive comic book connoisseur.
Slim reportedly owns one of the rarest comic books in the world, and the priciest – $1million.
This is the 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15, according to The Things.
Watches

Like most collectors, watches are just another item to amass.
His watch of choice: Rolex.
He scored a vintage 36mm 18k Rolex Day-Date with an extremely unusual bracelet called “Gold Nugget” for $25,000.
He also has an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar.
It’s 18-carat yellow gold and starts at around $115,000.
While the luxury watches are great, he also famously had an interview with Anderson Cooper revealing his $100 Casio G-Shock.
With the hype surrounding that interview, Eminem collaborated with the company for its 30-year anniversary on a special watch.
That particular Casio G-Shock can be found on eBay for well over $900.
Cars
When it comes to cars, the music man has quite the collection.
He has over 12 luxury sports cars including a $150,000 Aston Martin V8 Phantom, and an extremely rare 575 Ferrari as only 2,000 were ever produced.

Additionally, he has an Audi R8 Spyder and Ford GT.
However, his real love is in Porsche as Eminem has an impressive collection.
To start, he has a Porsche Carrera GT whose value hovers between $900,000 and $1.5million.

He also has a Porsche 911 GT3 Rs 4, which can cost upwards of $190,000.
Plus, a Porsche GT2 which is typically worth $330,000 before customization.
Charity
Giving back is important to Eminem as he famously did not have the best upbringing.
Eminem never forgot where he came from as he consistently donates to Detroit charities.
He gives to Eight Mile Boulevard Association, an organization revitalizing the public transportation system in the Detroit area.
Additionally, he supports and donates to Excellence for Detroit, an organization helping low-income students succeed in college.
In 2002, he founded his own foundation called The Marshal Mathers Foundation.
The charity provides assistance to disadvantaged and at-risk youth primarily in Detroit.
The foundation will regularly host fundraisers, donate to boy’s and girl’s club, and gives to food banks in the area.
