Eminem is undoubtedly one of the 100 greatest artists of all time. He made his debut in 1998 with his Slim Shady album and three decades later, continues to release hit music.
He's one of the best selling artists of all time with over 220 million record sales worldwide. Not to mention, the rapper recently settled the debate on whether anything rhymes with orange.
Although he's been producing music since 1988, Eminem didn't really start getting famous until the late 1990s. 'My Name Is', which became the rapper's first Billboard Hot 100 single in 1999, is the song that really launched his career.
Eminem has collaborated with countless other big names in the business over the decades, as well as being a member of the band D12 and part of the duo Bad Meets Evil with Royce da 5'9″. 'Love the Way you Lie' (2010) featuring Rihanna is one of his top-three most successful songs.
Eminem has made a total of 289 songs, according to Spin. His most recent album, Music to be Murdered By was released in January 2020.
Eminem, aka Marshall Bruce Mathers III, was born on 17th October 1972 in Missouri, USA, which makes him 49-years-old in October 2021.
Eminem has one biological daughter, Hailie, with ex-wife Kim Scott. She was born on Christmas Day in 1995.
Eminem also has two adoptive daughters: Whitney Scot Mathers, born 2002 to Kim Scott and another man she was in a relationship with, and Alaina Marie Mathers, born 1993, who is his sister-in-law's daughter and again, he has custody of her.
Eminem is not a billionaire. He has a net worth of $230 million (£166,068,050) in 2021. That's according to Slice, which has ranked the top 20 richest rappers worldwide.
According to Slice, Kanye West is officially the richest rapper in the world in 2021, with a net worth of $1.3 billion (£938,658,500).
Eminem comes in as the fifth richest rapper.
