Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne has grown from a 9-year-old member of Cash Money, to the multi-platinum, multi-millionaire, entrepreneur/ executive he is today.
While the “son” of Bryan “Birdman” Williams remained a staple in the Cash Money army for years, the world was unaware of this music icon in the making until 2004’s The Carter where he made the now-infamous claim that he was the “best rapper alive.”
A number of people agree and proved it, by helping 2008’s Tha Carter III move over 1 million copies in its first week.
Lil Wayne’s makeover from Cash Money to comrade to Young Money CEO made an estimated $20 million last year has been one of the best yet.
