Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory was born on 1968, in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He was a head of a drug trafficking ring in the United States best known as the Black Mafia Family (BMF), which was responsible for the majority of cocaine movement around the United States before their imprisonment, raising Demetrius’ net worth significantly.
How rich was Big Meech? Sources inform us that his net worth was at least $100 million. All of his wealth was accumulated as a result of the success of his illegal trafficking ring. When Big Meech was arrested, he was found in possession of a Ford F150 truck, a 2004 Bently Continental GT, a 2005 Dodge Magnum and jewelry that was almost $700,000 in value.
Big Meech Net Worth $100 Million
Big Meech was raised in a very religious family, but the family’s poverty situation was something that he and his brother Terry Lee “Southwest T” Flenory could not overlook. They eventually started selling cocaine on the streets, and soon realised that they were earning thousands of dollars in drug money. They both dropped out of high school to pursue their business, and started trafficking large amounts of cocaine and earning a big increase for their net worth. In the years that followed they established a drug empire that was worth millions of dollars. The organization was named Black Mafia Family and had operations around states like California, Alabama, Ohio, Georgia, and Florida. It was said that the brothers had main operating points, with Meech stationed in Atlanta while his brother handled Los Angeles. The proximity of the operation points was so that the product could come into the US a lot easier.
In an effort to legitimize their wealth and business, they established BMF Entertainment which focused on the hip hop music scene. The company promoted artists like Young Jeezy and Bleu DaVinci while also forming associations with big names like Jay-Z and Fabolous. Demetrius lived a very lavish lifestyle and was said to throw very expensive parties and display large amounts of wealth. His brother was against the display and urged Meech to avoid attracting attention. The result was friction between the two and eventually they split their organization, barely talking to one another, but their net worth continued to grow.
At this point in the early 2000s, their operatives were being captured by the FBI and investigations including bugs and wiretaps were set up to accumulate evidence against the brothers. Major raids against BMF revealed millions of dollars along with large amounts of cocaine stashed in cars and other houses. With most members being caught and evidence becoming clearer, Demetrius went into hiding, only to eventually surrender himself. The two brothers were sent to different prisons on 30-year sentences against numerous counts of drug trafficking, possession of illegal weapons and more. Demetrius is set to be released on 2032.
Before Big Meech was arrested, he had no family. He had an ex-girlfriend Sabrina Peterson, who had been interviewed for her association with Demetrius. Even in prison, Big Meech remains open to the media and has accepted interviews to clear some details about his life, operation and arrest.
