DMX Sold Out Arenas. His Kids Say He Died Worth $50,000.

DMX had 5 straight #1 albums and sold out arenas worldwide. So why did his own kids tell a judge he died worth under $50,000?

Then the part almost no one talks about. DMX did not own the master recordings to his biggest hits. When Billboard valued his catalog at $17.7 million, it was valuing an income stream that flowed to his record labels, not to him, while his children fought in court over an estate they valued below the price of a used car. ▶ WATCH NEXT Whitney Houston Made $250 Million.
