What is Saigon's Net Worth?
Saigon is a an American rapper and occasional actor who has a net worth of $200 thousand. Born Brian Daniel Carenard on June 1, 1977, in Brooklyn, NYC, he is a former inmate who set a course for redemption through hip hop music. Having spent his early childhood moving from one place to other, Saigon started selling marijuana at age 11 and soon he had joined in a neighborhood gang. By the time he reached 15, he had already been involved in several shootings for which he got jail time. It was at prison that Brian named himself "Saigon" and found peace in rapping along with fellow prisoner Hakim.
Once he was released from prison in 2000, Saigon immediately recorded several mixtapes with the goal to sign a record contract and to release a debut album, which he wanted to be titled "The Greatest Story Never Told". Even though he inked a contract with Atlantic Records in 2004, due to their odd requirements he did not see the release of his debut in the near future. Apart from being caught in an issue with Atlantic, he still continued to perform freestyles on hip hop radio shows, release mixtapes, and also continued to write and record The Greatest Story Never Told. What's more, he soon found himself on the hit HBO show Entourage, and eventually signed with the independent label Amalgam Digital. The Greatest Story Never Told was finally released in 2011, which was followed by the release of its sequel, The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 2: Bread and Circuses, one year later.
