Finding out Afroman is raising his family in one of the most impoverished parts of Southern Ohio was strange. I wonder if he doesn’t have much $ in the form of royalties flowing in.
He had one rather silly hit that became popular, then overplayed and annoying soon after. He's done some other ventures, small concerts, etc since, but I don't imagine he has a fortune.
If he was able to buy a nice place and retire, I'd say he's financially smarter than 99% of celebrities.
Because I got high made a ton of money, and he would have made a lot more if 9/11 didn't happen. There's a nice documentary on him and that song. Seems like a genuine guy.
But did it make a ton of money for him? The music industry isn't exactly known for putting artists first (i.e., musicians often don't make anything until all the expenses, advertising, promotion, payola, etc. are paid).
I was also surprised by this aspect of things. A quick Google at one of those net worth estimation sites pegged him at a net worth of about a million, which isn't exactly going to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills (or even Columbus).
More than me, though, and the guy seems to be having fun. I followed the link in the video to his Twitter page thinking it might have more information on the raid... Instead, it's almost exclusively videos of him signing the boobs of his fans. Gave me a good chuckle.
