The amount that someone in the music industry, who is still actively making music, will fluctuate each year. This is because it depends on if they release an album that year, how many singles they release and how successful these are. This is unlike a normal member of society who knows what they will be earning as a salary or an hourly paid job.
Lil Wayne is worth an estimated $85 million and made $20 million in earnings during 2010. His estimated income for 2011 is under this at $15 million. This is because he does not plan to release an album this year. This is estimated though and you never know what trends will happen which could propel this figure higher, or lower it with bad public opinion etc.
Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter was born on 27th September 1982. He was born and brought up in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Lil Wayne wrote his first song at the age of 8 (approximately 1990) and has since then released eight albums. The ninth Lil Wayne album is due for release early in 2012.
In his early career he was part of a two man group, the B.G'z and then went on to perform with the Hot Boys. Since being a solo artist, Lil Wayne has released many albums, to begin with they did not have the global success as his later work and Tha Carter III, which was released in 2005, has been his bestselling album to date.
Lil Wayne has broken records out of the recording studio too. He was the first man, since Tupac to have a number one album whilst in prison. This was in 2010 when he was jailed for a gun crime incident which occurred in 2007. This accounts for his success in 2010 and helps to show the $20 million income boost in 2010.
