How has Eminem's net worth stayed exactly the same since 2004?

[White LGI]

He has been worth 190 million dollars for 15 years.....with all the music he has sold....how the fuck does he not increase his net worth? And if it's bad investment and shit how come it never declined?

1. Online net worth figures, especially for celebrities, are mostly speculative. If the celebrity's net worth is not salary or ownership based, like a musician, the estimate is even more dubious.

2. Once a net worth estimate has been established it will gain inertia. Aggregator sites will simply restate the original estimate. It will be taken as fact and perpetuated. If the celebrity peaks and the general interest in them levels out or drops the motivation to update their already dubious net worth estimate declines. It's not as if every link that pops up when you google 'Eminem's Net Worth' is doing their own financial forensics and combing through his tax returns or something.

3. In Eminem's particular case he made more money in his prime than he does now (my assumption). During his peak years the musician business model was completely different than it is now. Accurate album sales and generally known percentages of album revenue that would reach an artist were well known. With streaming and the current musical landscape it's more difficult to accurately estimate the impact of, say, Kamikaze on his bottom line. Paired with the above points, it's easier to trust the old, more concrete, estimates of his prime and just go with that.

Next question, board. #BrainLords

This. Thanks for this.
