One of the pioneers of rap music in America is Master P. He is the current CEO and president of the Better Black Television. Starting out as a gangster rapper, P is now an activist and one of the richest Black Americans in the world. Master P was also the founder of the popular No Limit Records. He also founded the P. Miller Enterprises that was dedicated to entertainment.
Born Percy Robert Miller, Master P was born and bred in Calliope Projects, New Orleans. He acquired his high school education in two schools- Booker T. Washington High School & Warren Easton High School. From there, he continued to the University of Houston on an athletic scholarship having played on his high school basketball team. However, just a few months into his first year, he dropped out and transferred to Merritt College, Oakland, California to study business administration.
Just like most black American rappers, Master P started out on a low-level. When his grandpa died, Miller got $10,000 as an inheritance from a malpractice settlement. The smart boy used the money to open a record house in California. That was when the No Limit Records was founded. P used the studio to record his debut album. The record label was among the most profitable during the 90s signing the likes of Snoop Dogg.
His Successful Rap Career
Master P started his rap career via a rap group called TRU group. P didn’t make impressive progress with them so he went solo. His solo career became very successful, his “Make Em Say Uhh” was a popular instant hit.
In 98, PÂ recorded Da Last Don album which became very successful. The album which is rated as the best of his career went platinum four times, thus earning lots of money. Master P is named as one of the heavyweights of southern hip-hop, he is also among the few people that brought the South style in the rap industry.
P’s music legacy has passed on to his children. After his No Limit Records went through a series of problems including bankruptcy beginning from 2003, his son Lil Romeo now known as Rome revived it and renamed it to No Limits Forever Records in 2010. Master P’s daughter Cymphonique Miller is also a rapper.
Analysis and Breakdown of Master P’s Net Worth
Master P may not be a prolific musician, but he has other investments and businesses to cover up for this. He has other rap labels under his ownership, and also owns a video game company. In 2015, P and Seth Green developed a hip-hop-based RPG for the lovers of the video games. He is also a real-estate mogul, owning some properties around the United States.
Hitherto, Master P was worth around $600 million. Nonetheless, this was cut down when he was divorced from his wife. The ex-wife declared that Master P has to pay for the welfare of their children. As a result, P had to part with more than $270 million.
P’s net worth comes from different areas, starting from record labels, real estate, TV, among other high-profile businesses. He has helped develop some of the leading rappers in the world. Regardless of his poor rap performance, he is richer than most of the current active rappers.

Meet Master P’s Ex-Wife Sonya Miller
- Date of Birth: 1970
- Duration of Marriage: 1989 – 2014
- Occupation: Musician, Producer, and Director
- No. of Children with Master P: Seven
It was in 1989 that the record company executive got married to Sonya. She was an active member of the entertainment industry before and during her marriage to Master P. Although much hasn’t been heard from her in recent years, she is still admired for songs like ‘The Lord is Testing Me’, ‘Freak Hoes’ and much more.
Sonya built the No Limit empire together with Percy and as a director and producer, she has been credited for no fewer than 20 projects but is most known for serving as the executive supervising producer for TV series like Weekend Mechanic (2004), Catalog This! (2004) and Material Girls (2005).
Barely one year to the couple’s silver jubilee, Sonya filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. It was finalized in 2014.
Infidelity Destroyed Their Union and Sonya Walked Away With Quite a Lot
Sonya has disclosed that her marriage to the media mogul fell apart because of Master P’s infidelity and the depression she suffered. In an interview, she related that she was cheated on and left to fend for herself and seven kids while Percy indulged himself with the lavish lifestyle of the entertainment industry.
Because of that, she became depressed and felt like she was losing herself, thus she filed for divorce. Percy and Sonya had quite a messy court battle after she filed for divorce. She was labelled a gold digger in various quarters but the woman has maintained that she deserves half of Percy’s fortune.
Stressing that she helped him build No Limit, Sonya has contended that she gave up her music career to become Master P’s wife and the mother of seven of his kids whom she raised while Master P went about his business and had kids outside their marriage.
Their bitter court battle ended in favor of Sonya as Percy was ordered to pay her attorney fees which amounted to $200,000. In addition to that, he was required to pay her $10,473 in child support and $16,574 in spousal support every month. In all, she gets $27,047 every month from her ex-husband. She was seeking 40% of his assets but divorce was eventually settled on undisclosed terms in 2014.
