WATCH: T-Pain Goes On Steve O's Podcast To Laugh About How He Blew Through His Entire $40 Million Fortune
I know this video is nine minutes long, but if you put it on in the background of whatever you're doing I promise it'll be worth it. Long story short, T Pain was on top of the world in 2007 and steadily blew through his money until he went broke in 2019. He went from having $40 million to borrowing cash to get his kids Burger King. I shit you not. At one point he bought a Bugatti for $2.1 million and sold it months later for $800,000. In other words he rented a car for $1.3 MILLION. He talks about how he refused to look at his bank account because he was led to believe that it "only went up." The guy was a moron but a lovable one at that. The best part of the entire conversation was how casual he was about ruining his life. He and Steve O were literally laughing out loud about it. Granted he's since rebounded but still, it's wild.
Last thing I'll say before you go watch the video, T Pain has sold over 16 million albums and over 50 million digital tracks worldwide since he came on the scene in the early 2000s. He put out banger after banger when I was in high school and I forgot about them until I started writing this blog so I'll leave you with this....Bartender. I know it's not his most popular song but it's a jam nonetheless. Enjoy...
