Master P
Master P
Veteran hip-hop artist, Master P has proven that old-fashioned hard work and dedication get results. His determination to succeed in the record business has exploded beyond hip-hop into film, television, fashion, businesses and community service. P's success has put him on Fortune magazine's "40 Richest Under 40" list, Forbes "Top List of Highest Paid Entertainers" and in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid entertainer in the hip-hop industry. Born & raised in New Orleans, he used a $10,000 check from a legal settlement to open a record store, which eventually became his record label, No Limit Records-one of the most successful independently-owned record labels in the world. A skilled basketball player, he tried out for the Charlotte Hornets in the '99 NBA season, making it to the final cut. Not forgetting his roots, he started the Master P Foundation that has helped provide jobs for inner city kids nationwide as part of its "Stop the Violence" peace campaign.
