Although Lil Wayne spent most of 2010 behind bars, the rapper still managed to earn $20 million, landing him the no. 4 spot on the popular Forbes “Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.”
More surprising is the fact that the figure was $2 million more than he made last year. But can he catch up to Hip Hop’s gold standard for finance – Jay-Z?
In an article on forbes.com, the money-minded publication doesn’t consider it entirely outside the realm of possibility. “Lil Wayne will be riding high from the proceeds of two albums — I Am Not A Human Being, which was recorded before he went away and made him the first artist since Tupac Shakur to have an album go to No. 1 on the Billboard charts while incarcerated. Sales could easily approach 2-3 million units. The eccentric rapper is also said to be working on Tha Carter IV, an album that could see the light of day sometime in 2011.”
The article predicts that Wayne could make the majority of his earnings from a concert tour. With the albums and tours combined, as well as guest appearances and merchandise, Forbes predicts Wayne could take in $30-$35 million next year.
However, the article says, Jay is likely to hold on to his spot. Although he won’t likely be releasing a solo album, his collaboration with Kanye West, Watch the Throne, in addition to a greatest hits album and his upcoming book, Decoded (as well as existing ventures), Hov is poised to rake in up to $40 million next year.

damn strait he will
IDK, I like Wayne but that Rebirth and I am not a Human being shit was sub par at best. I would use both for weed plates personally. I think he’s pretty much done. Even though he’s nice he was never close to legendary. I mean his catalog can’t even fuck with B.I.G and he only had 2 albums to Waynes 8-9 so……..
What the fuck, 2-3 million??? Rebirth didnt even sell 700k and I am not a human being will end up with similar numbers. Two years from now, those two albums will stiil have sold only 1.5 mil combined…
they might be talking about worldwide sales + itunes and other paid downloads.
Rebirth didn’t sell because it was a rock album (and sucked), I Am Not a Human Being didn’t sell because Wayne was still in jail and it was hardly promoted, besides, the fact it was released on iTunes 2 weeks before it was released in stores hurt it’s sales.
The Carter IV will be the proof if Weezy is still big in the game or not.
How is Wayne going to sell 2-3 Million of I am not a human being and it barely pushed 150k first week. Sounds like a long reach to me but either way he will still be hella rich.
