Money comes and goes. This saying could not be truer in Hip-Hop. While the splurging seems to have no prejudice, there are the usual suspects that always seem to get the lion share of a Rapper’s money.
But with the nonstop reminders of wealth and pricy material items found in our music, it is no surprise recording artists feel the need to live up to these expectations.
Whether or not the lifestyle really reflects their lyrical content, the money trail usually leads to a couple of expected places. While some can be considered as good investments the majority are impulse purchases they will probably go on to regret in the future.
So we present the top 9 businesses that get all of Hip-Hop’s money. Did we mention that Moguldom Studios has a new documentary titled When The Checks Stop Coming In that details how celebrities can easily go broke?

2. Wine & Spirits
The French are a crafty bunch. They have Hip-Hop spending thousands of dollars to sip on pricey champagne and the grapes are not even Grand Cru.
3. Body Art
With the popularity of tattoos it is no surprise high profile artists like Mr. Cartoon stay booked solid.
4. Lawyers
Whether they are seeking legal representation or in need of a qualified mouth piece, lawyers are always nearby waiting for a rapper to mess up so they can cash in big.
5. Sneakers
Now that being a sneaker head has become all trendy, rappers are competing with each other to see who can acquire the most dead stock Jordans, all the while as Nike laughs to the bank.
6. Night Life
Where’s the best place to flaunt your Rap riches in front of your fans? The nightclub.
7. Autos
You wouldn’t catch Donald Trump riding the bus so why should we ever expect rappers to travel via public transportation? Hip-Hop has had a long affinity for luxury vehicles and Rick Ross causally considering what Roll Royce to purchase in this video plays up to that notion even further.
8. Drug Man
Rappers who like to indulge want the best of the best. You better believe independent drug dealers and licensed dispensaries alike are making a pretty penny off their nasty habits.
9. Real Estate
Large property is another vice of successful individuals in the Rap industry. Has there been anyone that has done 50 Cent’s Connecticut mega mansion though?
