Ja Rule, who is married to Aisha Murray and has three kids, Brittney, Jeffrey, and Jordan, has had a tumultuous career. Despite the highs and lows, however, he always seems to come out on top. Ja's entrepreneurial finesse has earned him a reported net worth of $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth

The figure is pretty impressive considering the ton of legal issues Ja Rule has faced throughout the years. He had to pay a $1,200 fine for punching a man during a bar fight in 2003, was arrested for possession of marijuana in 2004 (the charge was quickly dropped, per MTV), and served the prison sentences for gun possession and tax evasion

Still, whatever he's spent on lawyers and fines didn't seem to put a dent into his savings, as he's supposedly still worth millions. However, he almost lost it all though after partnering with Billy McFarland to put on Fyre Fest, a music festival that failed to deliver on its promises. There was a class-action lawsuit to sue McFarland and Ja Rule, but Ja managed to avoid having to pay anything — find out below how he dodged the controversy.
