Chris Brown reflected on how he's accumulated his wealth during a recent appearance on the R&B Money Podcast with Tank and J. Valentine. In doing so, he recalled investing in Burger King franchises at a young age, negotiating a 50-50 profit-sharing agreement with his former label, Jive Records, as well as locking down his masters from his 2011 album, F.A.M.E., through his current releases.
"So I'm more like, you know, I'm able to now now see real money or see something from what I've created 'cause I know I created it so now, you know, I can go and do this now. I can create some more," Brown explained, as caught by XXL. "Wait till y'all see what I'm about to create. So now I get to own all of that you know and it's like what you said, I'm like a testament to [investing in yourself]." He concluded: "Hey, I'm not saying put your head down, just be the best you."
