After having turned into an overnight sensation in the 1990s as his alter ego The Slim Shady, Eminem's net worth began rising insanely, having effectively turned into one of the most iconic people in urban culture altogether and even an Academy Award recipient.
Although Eminem's net worth would basically allow him to relax and not have to work for another day in his life (it's fair to say that with so many millions even a few future generations of his family are set to go), he's kept releasing great music for nearly two decades.
According to Consequence of Sounds, the latest song set to boost Eminem's net worth, "Phenomenal," is also the soundtrack for an upcoming film set to be released later this year, starring Jake Gyllenhaal (in a role Eminem himself was going to take), plus Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and Rachel McAdams - and it seems like the video will also be featuring John Malkovich and Dr. Dre!

Only a few days back, Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, went viral for the first time in a few months after Stephen Colbert, who will start hosting "The Late Show" next fall, interviewed him in a rare appearance on the Michigan public access show "Only In Monroe," in what The New Zealand Herald has described as possibly his "most awkward ever," though that doesn't seem to be diminishing Eminem's net worth.
According to Apple Insider, one thing that has certainly boosted Eminem's net worth in the past few days is his new alliance with Apple Music, as he just recently launched the clip for "Phenomenal" exclusively on the new streaming site, as it's not even on YouTube at this point - and, interestingly enough, the video, going on for more than 7 minutes, is more of an action prowess for the rapper and producer.
Currently, Eminem's net worth stands at an astonishing $190 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
