Maybach Music Group rapper Wale earns himself the title of “Cash Prince” from the financial experts at Forbes magazine.

The Hip Hop Cash King list from Forbes is one of the most sought after lists for both rising stars and rap veterans alike, and although Wale just missed making the list this year, his efforts did not go unnoticed by Forbes.

The Maybach Music Group affiliate had himself a solid year, earning a plush $5 million from both concert tickets and album sales, but Wale lets Forbes know he is looking to invest his money and grow it.

“I don’t want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy’s,” he said. “I want to get the highest score on Pacman or Frogger … [and] I want to make sure I’m on the Forbes list in a year or two.”

Although Wale had himself a nice year, don’t be fooled by the bright lights and YouTube stories. The D.C. rapper worked hard for his money, performing at over 75 shows in the last year alone, earning a solid $20,000 per show.

Check out the interview with Wale below.
