They have to keep working. They have no pension nor a retirement fund. GZA, RZA, Meth, Ghost (maybe), and Rae will be fine, but U-God, Deck, and Masta may have issues. They can't tour/perform in their 70s. Then again, they probably have investments, rental properties, other sources of income elsewhere. I'm just assuming.
Loyalty is Royalty. Strength and Loyalty
For real? You know where he said that by any chance?
If Divine was excel wizard he claims to have been, he would have prepared for that and set up that stuff for all of them back in the 90's when they were all signed back to Wu-Tang. That would have been truly groundbreaking, and a good one after all the fuckery about money throughout the years. But my guess is there is no such thing as a Wu-Tang Pension fund.
That reminds me what about that catalog sale RZA did. Was that just for his songs, are also Clan? Wonder how much that brings in. Or was that just a one time payment?

I remember an old interview somewhere saying clan members had invested in real estate amongst other things but couldn't find a link

Rza will definitely always be financially secure and he still has Hollywood to fall back on if all else fails.
Thanks.
ABT was weird though. He paid a lot out of his own pocket. The whole release was overshadowed by OUATIS. Clan could not really make up their mind. Rae only hopped on at the last minute. The album carries a title from before. They do this thing with the speaker, which is only released in the US. From a marketing point of view, I think quite some mistakes were made. RZA might be the only one to blame for some of them.

In the Hulu doc, Divine makes it pretty clear he invested his money while the rest was spending. He did buy the real estate. Doubt that is in the name of Wu-Tang Management, and would be evenly distributed.
I really doubt Ghost is doing that well, even though he has the exec prod title on the earlier records. Rae same. They are two people who want to keep living large, I get the idea.

Their material has been weak for the last decade but the Nas tour probably has brought back a lot of nostalgia and group chemistry. I wouldn't hold my breath for a new group album but I think they will record better shit in the future. Its part of getting older. Older rappers always want to criticize the new grabage and share jewels and Wu are getting to that age. And they will be the 1st group with the audience and money to record in some capacity. But they will probably never do a big album again. To record a new Wu album would take a big budget they'd have to provide themselves. I always said the best bet for a new Wu album is them doing a soundtrack for something because corporations will put a budget for that.

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is probably the most fitting end to the group. Other than that, I imagine Cuban Linx 3 will be the last fire Wu album, depending on the production
won't speak for everyone but Gza has some personal demons he is dealing with. luckily he is getting professional help.
He also had a very huge loss in his family so be graceful about the brother.
