AceShowbiz - While DMX left a huge legacy in terms of music, there wasn't much left to his family when he died. The father of 17's overall net worth, including extensive recording and publishing royalties, valued at an estimated $17.7 million, but his estate will have to pay off his massive debts, leaving his children with only a fraction to inherit.
Throughout his life, the rap icon experienced serious legal and financial problems, along with frequent issues with drug addiction. The "Party Up (Up in Here)" hitmaker's money issues largely stemmed from unpaid child support, but he also failed to pay income taxes which left him deeply in debt. He filed for bankruptcy three times and once claimed that he had absolutely no money and no assets except his house, which was in danger of being foreclosed on in 2016.
