I have heard something similar about Bill Gates. He wanted this Porsche that cost $250,000 in the early 80s. He did not buy it till he had 500 million bucks in his bank .... that was his condition.... boy, talk about patience...
I think you are right. Eminem clearly states "They make fun of me for it, but the whole money thing, it was brand new to me." So I also guess he did not know how much money he had earned yet, and he also probably did not know the price of a Rolex, only that it is an expensive watch.

I also like this guy, not his music so much, but he seems very down to earth from different interviews and some lyrics.
