Eminem Net Worth from Singles
Eminem has sold 58 million singles as lead artist. That’s more than the number of albums he has sold. That said, singles add a smaller $15 million to the Eminem net worth total because they sell for only about 10% of the price of a full album. Eminem’s top selling single was 2010’s Love the Way You Lie featuring Rihanna. That song went Diamond, selling over 12 million units and putting $2.8 million in Eminem’s bank account. Other notables are Not Afraid with over 11 million copies sold and Lose Yourself, which brought in $11.3 million in total sales.

Eminem Net Worth from Concerts
Concerts are always a big draw for top performers. The Eminem net worth haul from concerts comes to a gargantuan $210 million. The Anger Management tour from 2000 through 2005 took in nearly half a billion at the worldwide box office. Even though Eminem only kept an estimated 17% of that money, he still cleared over $81 million. The table below shows the total take from every Eminem tour. Eminem’s percentages are figured based on whether he was headlining and how many other performers he had to split the money with. The Recovery Tour from 2010 to 2012 earned $80 million in ticket sales. Since Eminem headlined that tour, he kept 85%, amounting to a very healthy $68 million payday for the rapper.

Eminem Net Worth Calculations
Eminem’s earnings by year are listed in the table below. Since he lives in Michigan, he pays the state’s top tax rate of 4.25%. That low, considering most wealthy Californians pay up to 13.3% per year. However, added to the top U.S. tax bracket of 39.6%, it gives Mathers a steep total tax of 43.85%. Over the years, that adds up to $198 million in taxes. Expenses take their toll as well. Costs like concert production, staff, agent fees and other money takes an estimated 15% slice out of the Eminem net worth pie. That stacks up to $68 million since 1996. Luckily for Eminem, investments figured at a conservative 6% of net worth every year add back a total of $57 million.
