– How does Lil Romeo make his money?
Lil Romeo first started making his money as a child star, so it’s a little complicated because his parents technically were in control of his money.
However, since Master P. was already famous, there really wasn’t any concern about him using Romeo’s money as his own.
Romeo made millions of dollars from the release of his numerous albums and hit singles. He also went on tour and did private events that he was paid for.
Additionally, he made millions acting in both television shows, like his self-titled Nickelodeon show “Romeo!” and the movie “Honey.”
Since leaving school, he’s released some more songs that made him good money but also did some modeling and even was paid to do some television commercials for ICDC College. He’s also made money from the artists he’s signed to his record label “No Limit Forever.”

Favorite Quotes from Lil Romeo
“When I was a kid, I used to lick markers on my t-shirt ‘I’m going to college’ and that imprint stuck in my head and made a difference to me in my life, turning it into a reality. I want to implant the same positive message to young boys as they dress themselves each day with a feeling of success. They can look in the mirror at themselves with a positive goal in mind for their bright future knowing that going to college can make a big difference in their lives.”
“It is cool to be smart.”
“People don’t understand being a child star is very hard because first off, to be a child star, you have to be very unique. These kids are talented to be able to do it at such a young age. At the same time, you go through the pressures of bullying and a lot of people not understanding.”

Tips for success from Lil Romeo
- Nobody has limits. It’s all in your head. If you have a big dream, go after it and go get it. The only person stopping you is you.
- Education will keep you sane. So many people want to skip steps when it comes to success. Even if you’re pursuing a career where education isn’t necessary, it is still a really wise idea to go to school. It helps mature you.
- Don’t change for anybody. If you have things you’d like to fix about yourself, make sure that you’re doing it for you.
- Keep your friends close but your family closer. Your family will never leave you, they will always support you and will always have your back. Even after a fight, it is so much easier to go back and apologize to family versus friends.
