KANYE WEST NET WORTH + HOW MUCH HE COULD EASILY MAKE

Published

on

Kanye West Net Worth 2022

Kanye West, now formally known as Ye, is an American rapper, songwriter, record-producer, fashion designer and multi-millionaire entrepreneur. After snagging over 22 Grammy Awards and counting, he is one of the most acclaimed and best-selling musicians of the 21st century. As one of the most influential and controversial people of the past few decades he’s become one of the highest paid people in the history of hip hop (just behind Jay Z), managing to build up an extraordinary fortune for himself over the past few years.

So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Kanye West’s Net Worth and his current earning power. We’ll also include a few interesting facts related to his success journey and influence. So, if you’re ready to learn about Ye’s net worth let’s dive in.

What Is Kanye West’s Net Worth?

Kanye West Net Worth 2023

Ye’s net worth may just be as enigmatic and controversial as the artist is himself. Over the years he’s made various claims about his net worth, and they’ve differed each time. In addition to this, other sources have placed his net worth at conflicting amounts. Here’s what we’ve seen….

  • $10 billion net worth according to his interview with Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee. [1]
  • $6.6 billion net worth according to Wealthy Gorilla. [2]
  • $5.5 billion net worth according to Ye himself after retweeting an article via OK News. [3]
  • $1.8 billion according to Forbes in late 2022 pre-controversy.
  • Then a $1.5 billion loss due to antisemitic statements which lead Adidas severing their partnership.[4]
  • Forbes now has his net worth at $400 million. [5]

So which Kanye West profile is most accurate? That’s a great question, and each claim carries with it its own unique weight of authority.

As such, our own cautious estimate on what Ye’s actual net worth is, takes into account his estimated pre-controversy net worth, along with the $1.5 billion loss according to Forbes, as well as other insights like his child support payments, and the calculation of his known assets. Thus, Kanye’s updated net worth is estimated to be around $450 million.

How Much Does Ye Make a Year?

In 2020, Ye made approximately $43 million from his Yeezy brand, after keeping an estimated 11% of the $1.7 billion in revenue according to Forbes. Considering his brand’s growing popularity, it is safe to say that he has continued to earn a similar amount this past year.

And if we take a similar estimate based off his Yeezy collaboration with Gap, which was estimated to pull in $150 million in sales in 2021, Ye also made an additional $16.5 million per year.

In addition to this, according to the NY Post, Kanye West earns over $250 million for his music. And since the percentage entertainers/artists receive for each album sold is a negotiating point that falls anywhere between 10% and 20%, (estimating Ye to be on the high end of 20%), his profits on his music sales is approximately $50 million.

So, how much does Kanye actually make per year? Well, if we add everything up, Kanye West made approximately $110 million a year, or $9.1 million per month. Of course, this is all before his most recent controversy which lead to many of his biggest business partnerships coming to an end.

But in our opinion, here’s a more plausible estimate of how much Kanye could make per year based off the earning power of his net worth alone. To get this number we are inferring Ye is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $450 million net worth ( which by the way 4% is a very reasonable return to expect, considering historical returns on safe investments tend to fall between the 3% to 5% range [6]).

So, if Kanye West decided to liquidate all of his assets and spread his wealth across a handful of safe stocks, ETFs, or REITS with a modest 4% dividend yield, Ye could easily make a staggering $18 million per year. In other words, Ye could still make $49,450 per day for pretty much the rest of his life without lifting a finger (if he can stay out of trouble that is).

His financial situation is certainly not what it used to be, but it is still a lot to most.

SYLVESTER STALLONE NET WORTH

Published

on

Sylvester Stallone Net Worth

Sylvester Stallone earned worldwide recognition as an actor, screenwriter, and director after starring in his own screenplay for the movie ‘Rocky’, which would go on to win an academy award for Best Picture. After starring in this hit movie, Stallone’s career and earnings would skyrocket over the years, especially after creating five ‘Rocky’ sequels, and classics like ‘Rambo I, II, and II’, Over the Top, ‘Demolition Man’ and many more.

Now with over 75 films under his belt, and with all of them producing over $4 billion in revenue, Stallone has amassed a small fortune. In fact, many people commonly ask if Sylvester Stallone is a billionaire due to how much his films have produced. However, the answer is no, he is not a billionaire. But, that’s exactly what we’ll be highlighting on this Sylvester Stallone net worth page; the size of his fortune and his current earning power.

What is Sylvester Stallone’s Net Worth?

sylvester stallone net worth

So how big of a fortune has Sylvester Stallone amassed? Well according to Celebrity Net Worth, Sylvester Stallone’s net worth in 2021 was approximately $400 million [1]. And of that $400 million, it was estimated that he has about $53 million of it tied up in real estate assets he owns.

With that said, considering the real estate market grew 19% in 2021, and the stock market grew by an average of 18% in 2021 as well, with 2022 being flat, a safe and very conservative estimate is that Stallone’s net worth grew by at least 10% over the past two years. As such, Sylvester Stallone’s Net Worth for 2023 is now estimated to be around $450 million.

How Much Does Sylvester Stallone Make?

At the height of Stallone’s career, he was making between $15 million to $25 million per movie, and was named Hollywood’s highest paid actor. His highest earning year on record was 1994 at $60 million.[2] As of late however, his movies have not made nearly as much money as he made in his prime. In addition, there has been minimal publication of his recent earnings, aside from the $3 million dollars hear earned for his role in The Suicide Squad.

However, even without those numbers, will still aim to provide you with Stallone’s money metrics based off his net worth of $450 million alone. It will be hypothetical, but a fun metric to consider based off of his Net Worth’s earning power alone.

Therefore, all we have to do is assume Stallone leverages the 4 percent rule, and earns himself a 4% annual dividend yield on his combined $450 million net worth, by investing it in a handful of historically strong investments like stokcs, ETFs, REITS, etc. If he did this, his annual earnings would easily come out to $18 million without including any other sources of income.

FYI a 4.0% yield is more than a reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments in the past yielded between a range of 3% to 5% range. [3]

Sylvester Stallone’s Money Metrics

Money MetricAmount
2023 Net Worth:$450,000,000
Earnings Per Year:$18,000,000
Per Month:$1,500,000
Per Week:$ 346,154
Per Day:$49,450
Per Hour:$2,060
Per Min:$34.34
Per Sec:$0.57

Disclaimer:  This is an estimated earnings metric based off of the earning power of Sylvester Stallone’s net worth alone.  As mentioned earlier, it does not include how much he potentially earns from projects, sponsorships, or social media he’s earned this year. Again, this calculation is for entertainment purposes only.

Social Media Influence

Stallone’s social media influence has continually grown over the years, despite the slowdown in blockbuster releases. That said, he currently has around 15.9 million Instagram followers, 11 million Facebook Followers, and 2.9 million Twitter followers. This comes out to a grand total of 29.8 million social media followers.

So, in the event Stallone wanted to take advantage of his social media influence, he could potentially negotiate roughly $250K per sponsored post. That’s not a bad payout for a social media side hustle.

Stallone’s Key Facts

  • Stallone’s signature snarled lip was due to an injury at birth by the forceps which grabbed his face, leading to the severing of some of the nerves of his lips and eyelid.
  • In his youth, he was kicked out of school over 14 times.
  • He attended college in Switzerland.
  • Before Sylvester Stallone hit it big, he briefly experienced homelessness, where he spent a few nights sleeping on the floor of a bus station.
  • Sylvester Stallone once hired two-time Mr. Olympia Franco Columbo as his personal trainer.
  • Stallone has earned more “worst actor” awards than any other in Hollywood.
  • He owns an $18.2 million dollar home in Hidden Hills, CA, and a $35 million dollar home in Palm Beach, FL.

How Did Sylvester Stallone Become So Successful?

Sylvester Stallone has a wonderfully inspiring success story, and you can read an in depth account of it here. However, here is a short version of how Stallone became so successful. In essence, Stallone pursued his dream of becoming a successful actor for many years.

He suffered through working menial jobs, taking on low budget films, and pretty much doing whatever he could to make ends meet while pursuing an acting career on the side. Stallone embodied the concept of hustle, before hustling was a thing.

As such, his success ultimately stemmed from failing over and over again, and persisting long enough till he found his break. A break which he finally received after pitching the idea of what would come to be the ‘Rocky’ film to two movie producers he met during a casting call. It was a massive opportunity that he seized, and reaped the benefits for stardom to go on to create, star in, and produce many more films through out his career.

So, how Stallone became so successful can be summed up to… persisting in the face of failure.

TOM BRADY’S NET WORTH + HOW MUCH HE’LL MAKE IN RETIREMENT

Published

on

Tom Brady Net Worth 2023

Tom Brady is one of the biggest names in the sport of Football these days. As the quarter back for the New England Patriots and more recently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady has managed to accomplish what few have ever accomplished in the sport before him. He’s tallied up the most victories by a quarterback, the most touchdowns, and as of late, the most super bowl championships. All of which has led him to be considered the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All-Time) in many fans eyes. And with such heights of achievement comes money and wealth.

So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Tom Brady’s net worth and his earning power. And, just for good measure we’ll also include a few fun facts related to his success and influence. So, let’s dive in.

What Is Tom Brady’s Net Worth?

Net Worth of Tom Brady 2023

So how much is Tom Brady worth? Well, considering he’s pulled in over $333 million after playing for the NFL for 23 seasons, his fortune is staggering.[1] Even after his recent split from his fashion model wife, Giselle Bündchen. That said, as of 2023 Tom Brady has a net worth of approximately $300 million.

Since signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he’s managed to pin down a two year contract for $50 million. As such, Tom Brady’s average annual earnings from this contract alone (not including any special incentives) is $25 million. But, after getting his team into the playoffs, and then winning a super bowl, his average earnings for 2020 was around $28.3 million.[2]

With that said, Brady’s average earnings for 2021 was approximately $41 million, and for 2022 his earnings were landing in the $30 million range.

How Much Could Tom Brady Make If He Retired?

With all the media attention Brady’s been getting with his talk of possible retirement, some questions many people have on their minds is, “What will Tom Brady do after retirement?” and “How much will Tom Brady make after he retires?”

Well, we can’t answer the first question, but, we can provide you with a pretty solid predication for how much money he could rake in per year if he wanted to, post retirement.

So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Tom Brady could make per day, month, or even a year, after he retires, here is what we’ve come up with.

To provide you with this estimate, we have to infer that Tom Brady is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $300 million net worth ( by the way 4% is a very reasonable return to expect, considering historical returns on safe investments tend to fall between the 3% to 5% range [3]).

Therefore, if Tom Brady hypothetically liquidated all of his assets and invested them into a handful of stock or REITS with a modest 4% dividend yield, he could very easily make (and at a minimum) approximately $12 million per year in retirement.

Not a bad retirement income eh?

Here’s a little breakdown of how much Tom Brady could make every month, day, etc..

Tom Brady’s Money Metrics

Per Month:$1,000,000
Per Week:$230,771
Per Day:$32,967
Per Hour:$1,373
Per Min:$22.89
Per Sec:$0.38

Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric for Tom Brady based off of his net worth’s earning power alone.  It does not include how much he will or can potentially earn from his other projects, sponsorships, businesses, or social media, etc. This calculation is for entertainment purposes only.

Tom Brady’s Social Media Influence

How to Get Rich With a Normal Job

Getting rich or becoming wealthy is a desire that many people secretly harbor. It doesn’t matter if you have a normal job, no job, or run your own business, everybody wants to know how to get richer. Unfortunately for many, this desire is just a lofty dream, especially for those who have a normal job. But, it doesn’t have to just be a dream. Becoming wealthy is a practical goal worthy of pursuit. And despite what cynics and the people who have a penchant for excuses say, it is achievable for everyone. So, if you truly want to know how to get rich with a normal job keep reading, because we’ll show you how in this post.

“Wealth Is Largely The Result Of Habit.”

– Jacob astor –

The truth is, everyone and anyone can get rich. Yes, most millionaires are made from being the owner of their own business, but, that doesn’t mean you can’t become a millionaire too. There are plenty of people all over the world who have amassed serious levels of wealth with just a normal job.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a janitor, a hairstylist, teacher, or a fire fighter, it can and has been done.

But, it doesn’t happen over night and it doesn’t happen by accident. Becoming rich requires a plan that needs to be followed. Fortunately, the plan is an extremely simple 5 step plan than works for anyone who implements it. But the key is disciplined implementation. So, if you’re ready to learn about this very simple plan that if followed, will help you get rich with your normal job, let’s dive in to the juicy details:

HOW TO GET RICH WITH A NORMAL JOB

Getting Rich With a Normal Job

1. Start Saving 20% of Your Income

First things first, you have to start saving your money. You can’t get rich if you don’t build the habit of putting your money away. Ben Franklin once stated, “Get what you can, and what you get hold, Tis the stone that will turn all your lead into gold.” Andrew Carnegie also said  “The fastest way to double your money is to fold them in half and put them in your pocket.”

So, it’s never a bad idea to follow the advice of America’s first millionaire, and one of its all-time richest. That said, find a way to scrape at least 20% of the monthly income you earn from your normal job, and start stashing it away, stacking it, or whatever you want to call it. If you really want to get rich, start saving your money!

how can a normal person become rich

If 20% seems like an unreasonable amount to you, just keep this fact in mind, millionaires on average, invest 20% of their net pay each month.[1] If you can’t start at 20% at first, that’s okay, start smaller, with the aim of eventually getting to 20%.

So start small, aim high, but most of all, start.

2. Create a 3 to 6 Month Rainy Day Fund

The foundation of your fortune needs to be built on a rock, not sand. So, before you begin throwing your hard earned money into assets that have double digit growth potential, it’s not a bad idea to create a financial safety net for yourself first.

This three to six month fund is important to have in the event you lose your job, or suffer some type of financial set back like a car accident, unexpected medical bills, etc…

It’s key that if an emergency occurs, that you pull money from your emergency fund, vs. your investments, because investments tend to be more volatile. And if you pull your money for emergencies from investments at the wrong time, you could end up losing lots of money.

On top of this, it is important to never get in the habit of pulling money from your investments. Because once you do, it’ll be hard to stop. At which point, you’ll have created the habit of diminishing your wealth, not growing it.

So build your emergency fund as soon as possible. Then, move on to the next step.

3. Pay Off Your High Interest Debts

Mark Cuban once stated, “If you use a credit card, you don’t want to be rich. The first step to getting rich requires discipline. If you really want to be rich, you need to find the discipline.”

That said, after you create a little security blanket for yourself you’ll be eager to dive into investing. But, you’ll want to show a little more restraint and practice a little discipline by moving on to paying down your high interest debt first.

The reason to pay this debt off first, is because more often than not, your high interest debts can trap you in a form of a vicious cycle. Meaning, you’ll pay your creditors money, but you’ll make very little to no progress paying down the principle.

Pay Down Debt to Get Rich

Creditors love it when you pay on a regular schedule and especially at just the minimum payment, because it makes them richer and slowly impoverishes you. So if the interest rate on your debt is near the average assessed interest rate on credit cards, which is 16.45%, you may want to pay that debt down A.S.A.P.[2]

Why? Because there are very few safe investments that will safely earn you over a 16.45% return a year. Thus, your money will be better used paying down debt that drains your wealth vs. grows it.

Sure, some debt you’ll want to keep and pay down on a regular schedule, (like your car or mortgage) but if the interest is higher on those debts than what you can safely earn in the markets or on investments, then you may want to consider crushing that high interest debt first.

4. Minimize Wasteful Spending

This next step is the hardest for most people. In fact, it’s what leads most people to accrue what they just paid down in step three, debt. Everyone wants to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and the easiest way for people to enjoy the money they make is to spend it.

Splurging can be fun, give us a little endorphin rush, and make us feel like we are “rich”, or that we’ve “made it” because of the material possessions that we now possess. But, this is the area that you’ll have to master if you want to become rich with the income from your day job.

So, get disciplined with your money. Create a budget if you have to, where you only allot yourself so much money to spend every month so you don’t go overboard. Do this, and you’ll be able to not only invest 20% of your income, but likely much more.

Which leads us to the next and most important step for getting rich.

5. Invest Your Money Aggressively, But Wisely

The fastest way to get rich with your normal job is to invest your money aggressively, but wisely. Once you’ve created for yourself a nice financial security fund, have paid down your high interest debts, and reigned in your excessive spending, the world is yours for the taking.

This is the point where you really start to accelerate the growth of your wealth. Every dollar you invest (so long as you invest it wisely) will become a hard working helper for you to create even more money.

A good way to think of every dollar you invest, is to think of it as an investment into a little money miner. And each one of these little green money miners diligently works for you day and night, even while you sleep to make you more and more money. And money that makes money, that makes even more money, is known as compound interest.

The concept is so important that Albert Einstein once quipped, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.”

So, to take full advantage of compound interest, you’ll want to invest as much as you can as often as you can.

Get Rich Investing In These

If you’re not sure where to start investing once you’ve taken care of all the other steps, here are some popular investment vehicles for you to consider. Keep in mind, each of these investment vehicles come where their own strengths, weaknesses, and varying risk thresholds. So, the amount you invest in each will be solely up to you, your financial situation, and your personal risk tolerances.

STOCKS

Investing in stocks is like purchasing a small portion of a company. The company uses your money to keep the business running and continue growing. Ultimately, stocks can make you money by both appreciating in value and/or paying you out a monthly or quarterly dividend.

And a smart way to truly accelerate the growth of those stocks, is to reinvest any dividends the stock pays out to repurchase more of your stocks. By doing this, you purchase more and more of those stocks over time, which can create a snowball effective in terms of how fast and how large your assets grow.

Also, if you’re not too keen on hand picking stocks, you can always go with stock ETFs. ETFs are exchange traded funds. In the most simplest terms, they are a collection of stocks that a active manager picks out for you, and manages over time. Small fees are usually involved, but, they are a lower hassle way to invest in stocks.

REAL ESTATE or REITS

Real Estate is another great investment. You can purchase it out right, or invest in a fund that invests in real estate for you, a.k.a. a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust).

Real Estate can make you money if you rent out the property to a tenant, and that tenant pays you above the cost to pay the mortgage on the property and maintain the asset. Real Estate can also make you money when it appreciates in value.

The same principal applies to REITS, but you are essentially pooling your money, and allowing a manager to do all the dirty work. Of course, these takes control out of your hands as well, and can impact how much you make from your real estate in the long run.

BONDS

Bonds are issued by governments and corporations when they are looking to raise money. And when you invest in a bond, you are essentially giving the issuer a loan which they are obligated to pay back.

Bonds do often pay small interest payments as well, but they’ve been know to be lower than other investment vehicles lie stocks and real estate, but also less volatile.

CRYPTO

Crypto currencies are a more recent investment phenomenon. Some investment experts loathe them, while others love them. In the most simplest terms, they are essentially a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography to secure them. This cryptography is then suppose to safeguard the digital currency from counterfeiting or double-spend.

As such, many investors buy cryptos to safeguard their wealth from devaluation, unfair meddling by rogue governments, and theft by crooks.

GOLD + SILVER

To mitigate the inherent risk of a portfolio many people invest in Gold and Silver. These assets are stores of value. Investors love these assets because they minimize the risk of one’s wealth depreciating over time.

Ultimately, Gold and Silver are excellent investment choices because their shelf-life is perpetual, and because it is more or less stable.

That said, how you diversify your investments is completely up to you. The most important thing of course, is that you just aggressively invest your money. Because the more aggressively you spread your money across these handful of investments, the richer you’ll be.

Investing to Get Rich

Final Thoughts

Anyone can get rich, even normal people with normal jobs. But you have to first believe that you can do it, and then you have to back up that belief with disciplined action. Eventually those repetitive actions will turn into habits, and those habits into riches and wealth.

This same principle applies to just about any goal, but it’s especially true with getting rich.

“Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning, The Father Of Action, Which Makes It The Architect Of Accomplishment.”

BERNARD ARNAULT NET WORTH 2023 + HOW MUCH HE MAKES A YEAR

Published

on

Bernard Arnault Net Worth 2023

Bernard Arnault is a French investor, businessman, and CEO of multinational luxury goods company LVMH. If the name sounds familiar, its because Arnault often takes the lead as one of the world’s richest people, or because he runs the company that sells the world’s most luxurious brand, Louis Vuitton. Some days Arnault is number two on the list of the world’s richest people, then he makes it to number one, only to drop back down to number three a few days later. And while his position as the the richest person in the world is slightly fluid, his status as a multibillionaire is not.

So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Bernard Arnault ’s net worth and his current earning power. Just for good measure, we’ll also include a few fun facts related to his success and influence. So, let’s dive in.

What is Bernard Arnault’s Net Worth?

Net Worth of Bernard Arnault

As of 2023, and at the time this article’s updated publication, Bernard Arnault’s net worth is estimated at around $223 billion.[1] This means he’s up $12 billion since March of this year.

He is still ranked as the no.1 richest person in the world. However, his rank does fluctuate frequently between being the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd richest. That said, he’s been holding strong to the title for over six months now.

How Much Does Bernard Arnault Make a Year

Various sources place Bernard Arnault’s annual earnings at a little over $9 million. However, with a 40.1% stake in LVHM, most of Arnault’s money comes from his ownership of the company.[2] So, while he may only make on paper, around $9 million dollars per year, his wealth dramatically grows primarily through asset appreciation and capital gains.

With that being said, we still aim to provide you with Bernard Arnault’s hypothetical (but very possible) annual earnings. Annual earnings that will be based off his net worth of $223 billion alone. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much does Bernard Arnault make a day, month, or even a year, our metric below will give you a rough estimate.

To provide you with this number, it is assumed that Arnault is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4.0% yield on his combined $223 billion net worth (4% is not difficult to achieve considering historical returns on safe investments have typically fallen between the 3% to 5% range [3]). As such, if Bernard Arnault decided to liquidated his assets in LVHM and transfer all of them into a handful strong and safe dividend paying stocks earning a modest 4% yield, his annual earnings would roughly be $8.9 billion per year. 

Put another way, Bernard Arnault could bring home roughly $24.5 million a day for the rest of his life, without decreasing his net worth at all. That’s what we call, “living the good life”.

DAN HENRY’S NET WORTH AND HOW HE ACHIEVED HIS RICHES

Published

on

dan henry net worth

Dan Henry is a highly successful entrepreneur, speaker, and bestselling author of ‘Digital Millionaire Secrets’. But before achieving so much success, Dan was a struggling pizzaboy who had big dreams but could barely pay the bills to keep the lights on. Fortunately Dan managed to turn things around and build a sizeable fortune for himself. How big of a fortune? Well, that’s exactly what we aim to touch upon in this write up.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to know what Dan Henry’s net worth is, how much it could earn him, and how he managed to obtain and build it up over the years, then let’s get right to it:

What Is Dan Henry’s Net Worth?

As of 2023, Dan Henry’s net worth is approximately $17 million. He’s known for making over $30 million alone just from selling information products, to making $10 million in his first three years of business, to at one point pulling in $1 million in just one day from the sale of his $30K mastermind sessions.[1]

He’s also purchased a $2 million yacht in full with his wealth, as well as properties for himself and his parents. That said, he’s still hunting for more with his various new sales ventures, so we suspect his net worth will continue to grow over the years.

How Much Does Dan Henry Make Per Year?

Certainly, Dan’s current net worth and impressive earning potential begs the question, ‘So how much does he make per year, or per month?

According to our research, his first month of coaching earned him over $100K in his first month, and as mentioned above, he’s recently had days where he’s earned millions. That said, it can be inferred that earns at least 7 figures a year, but it’s very likely 8 figures.

That said, due to a lack of verifiable sources for his annual income, we can’t give you a precise figure. But, we will provide you with how much he makes based off of Dan’s own admission, which is $5 million, on top off the passive baseline income his estimated net worth can earn him.[2]

To provide you with this estimate, we’ll assume Dan Henry is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $17 million net worth (4% is a reasonable minimum annual yield to expect on investments considering historical yields on safe investments are between the 3% to 5% range annually).

So, presupposing Dan Henry liquidated all of his assets (homes, businesses, etc.) and then transferred all of it into medium to low risk assets like dividend paying stocks, REITs, or any ETFs that payout a modest 4% annual yield, his passive yearly income would come out to be roughly $680K per year.

Combine this with his self-disclosed $5 million, and Dan Henry makes roughly $5.7 million a year.  That’s not a bad income.

Dan Henry’s Social Media Earning Power

Dan Henry has an impressive social media following which he could leverage to make even more money. How much more? Well, let’s breakdown his reach first and then we’ll provide you with our answer.

Dan Henry has 163K Instagram followers, 4.11K Twitter followers, 59K Facebook followers, 42K YouTube subscribers, and 11.1K TikTok followers. As such, his combined social media reach is 279.2K.

As such, Dan Henry could very easily leverage his social media network to make an extra $3K per sponsored post. That’s not bad money for publishing an extra post or two as side hustle.

How Did Dan Henry Get Rich?

Before Dan Henry made it as an entrepreneur, he was a struggling college student who delivered pizzas to make ends meet. After a bad day at his pizza job, Henry decided to quit so he could make real money as an entrepreneur.

He dabbled in a few different businesses like selling Italian Ice, an event-based airbrush tattoo business, an e-cigarette business, a blog, and even an SEO agency. Most of his experiments with those businesses failed, but he made enough money to try his hand with a nightclub business.

For the first time, he started see some legitimate success with his businesses. After some time, he sold his nightclub for a massive profit. But adversity struck after he spent most of what he earned from the sale of his nightclub.

Striving to keep the electricity in his apartment turned on, Dan Henry went into overdrive with a variety of different money making schemes. Serendipitously, he followed the advice someone gave him to start helping people with their marketing. This led to his establishing of a successful ad agency.

After getting hit with $250K notice of back taxes owed to the IRS, desperation forced Dan to get creative. So, he read every business book he could get his hands on, spent hours listening to podcasts and watching webinars, essentially going all in to learn how to make six figures quickly so he could pay back his taxes.[3]

As fate would have it, Dan made $100K in his first month, then $1 million in just 5 months, then on to $15 million, then $30 million. Dan Henry cracked the code, and he did it by simply selling his advice. Advice he provides in some of the books he’s published, like ‘High Ticket Selling’ and ‘Digital Millionaire Secrets’.

Dan has since been leveraging his knowledge to teach others how to get more clients and get more sales through his multi-million dollar producing businesses GetClients.com and CloseDeals.com. He’s also been building up a successful YouTube channel, which continues to grow in popularity to this day.
