In a real-life situation that sounds more like a tired old country song than the latest hip-hop single, rapper DMX has $50 in his pockets and nothing in the bank.

New court filings in the bankruptcy case of Earl Simmons, aka DMX, show the rapper has little to report in the way of assets as well as expenses that exceed his monthly income.

One of the top-selling hip-hop artists ever, DMX now says hes down to $50 cash on hand. Not only does he report, under penalty of perjury, that he has zero dollars in the bank, but he also denies having any personal property of valueno electronic equipment, no jewelry, no clothes and no cars.

Besides the $50 cash, DMX says the rest of the $1.4 million in assets to his name are tied to pending litigation and other claims.

As for his monthly budget, DMX is spending more than hes earning. Court papers show the rappers estimated monthly income is $5,000, but monthly expenses are $5,221 (including $1,000 on clothing and $500 on laundry and dry cleaning).

Prediction: DMX will "somehow" get up on his feet again and build an entire personal image based on that. You know, start rapping about how poor he was and how rich he became after being broke...etc

I wouldn't count on it. This surely wouldn't be the first time a wealthy celebrity went broke. Historically, how many times has it all been just a big PR stunt to change their image?

Yeah. He's been in a downward spiral for a long time so this is hardly surprising.

You would think that having come from a tough background guys like this would try to hold on to their money having experienced the struggle.  I mean they should be used to just living comfortably.  But instead so many of them lose everything.  This goes for rich athletes, celebrities and so on that came from low income families.  Funny how it never works like that though.

It can work both ways. On one hand, some people who grew up poor can really appreciate the value of a dollar and therefore won't spend like idiots. On the other hand, some guys will get their first million-dollar deal and feel like that's an unlimited amount of money since they've never had anything near that before. So then they just spend it on stupid things and all of a sudden they're broke.

I agree with this. For example I wasted my money like it was nothing when I got my first job, once I became unemployed I realized just how much I wasted and started to become really cheap. Some of those rich people never get to learn how much they used until it's too late.

If I would get a monthly income of 5,000 a month I would definitely have more than 50 dollars to my name. 1000 dollars on clothes and 500 dollars on dry cleaning is insane.

$50 dollars, that's it?

Maybe DMX should make a sequel to Exit Wounds to make some money.

Seems pretty natural to me. People who come from low-income backgrounds and then strike it rich often lose their money very quickly for a couple of reasons. They've never had money, so they haven't learned how to deal with money. Also, when you're poor, you don't have much money to spend so it's not that uncommon to spend all the money that you have. That behaviour ends up becoming habit. So, once you strike it rich, your spending goes up and you STILL spend all of the money that you have.
