It’s that time of year again when Forbes puts together their list of the highest earning artists in hip-hop. The list doesn’t look too different from last year, but there is a new entry as one of these artists had a major year both inside and outside of hip hop.
- Number one spot goes to none other than mr Diddy with a whooping £750million. The hip-hop mogul always has an endless amount of income. He is involved in a lot of businesses. He has his Sean John clothing line, he is involved with Circo, RevoltTV, Aquhydrate and not to mention , he made his return to music with his MMM (Money Making Mitch) mixtape towards the end of 2015.
See the full list below !
2. The second spot goes to none other than Dr Dre. Who has a fortune of $710 million. When he sold Beats by Dre to apple in 2014, it made him the highest paid musician of all time !
3. The third spot goes to Jay Z who has a net worth of $610 million. His Tidal streaming service made him this year’s biggest gainer on paper. The company has had its bumps, but with 3 million paid subscribers, it’s now worth an estimated three times more than its $56 million purchase price.
4. Mr 'put some respek on my name' aka Birdman ranks in at no.4 with $110million ! He is the Ceo at Cash Money record label! However his fortune went down a tick from last year due to turmoil within his empire.
5. And finally , we have a newcomer who just released his new album 'Views' a few days ago, none other than mr Drake ! He is now worth $60 million! Drake once said he planned to make $250 million by the time he was 29. With less than a year left before he turns 30, he’s still got a ways to go. But the Toronto native is certainly on the right track: this year, he’s the first newcomer to crack the forbes five.
