This is one article in a row which describes how the recording industry exploits creative persons. It looks like you can't earn much as a musician.

Yet, I see many rappers living in multi-million houses and owning Ferrari's etc, in MTV Cribs. Do they do something different?

In many cases the houses and Ferraris are probably leased, by the record company, and fully recoupable. Which means that they're temporary.
