Eminem Net Worth And Biography
Marshall Mathers net worth is greatly attributed to his impressive album sales. His most profitable album is The Marshall Mathers LP. This project sold over 20 million copies worldwide and is considered to be among one of hip-hop’s fastest-selling albums to date.
Early Life
Marshall Mathers was born in St. Joseph, Missouri on the 17th October 1972. His father Bruce left them and moved to California to start a new family. Eminem had a rough childhood and was often bullied and beat up in school.
When his family was living in Detroit, their home was in a majorly black neighborhood, and thus Eminem was also victim to racial beatings during that time.
Before he discovered hip-hop, he was first very passionate about comic books and storytelling. He dropped out of Lincoln High school at 17 years old, and worked at various jobs to help pay the bills.
His mother would often throw him out of the house, and neglect him. Whenever she went to play Bingo, Eminem would turn up his stereo and start writing songs.
Career
Eminem started performing at rap battles with his friend Mike Ruby when he was only 14. Later on, as his reputation grew, he was recruited by several rap groups, including New Jacks, Soul Intent, and D12.
His first solo album, ‘Infinite’, was released in 1996, and was a failure; majorly due to Eminem’s style, and feelings people had towards it at that time. He was told that his style was not cut out for hip hop, and that only motivated him to keep on writing more rhymes.

Eminem Controversies
Eminem was once assaulted by a bully in elementary school, receiving a serious head injury. His family sued the school but the judge dismissed the case, saying schools are immune from lawsuits.

The judge dismissed this case too, delivering the verdict in rhyme form. Eminem has been sued by his own mother for slander, too
