The Forbes Five: Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists

13 years ago view-show 779,724

So I drop my circle of bosses post right before this?  I made the theoretical list.  Forbes makes the real one.  Well played Forbes.  Their methodology and list is below.

  • Methodology:In order to form the list, we followed the same procedures we use to calculate the list of the world’s billionaires (released today) – valuing current holdings, looking at past earnings, leafing through financial documents and talking to a bevy of analysts, attorneys, managers and other industry players to find the nitty-gritty details. We considered only performers, which is why hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons isn’t on this list.
  • 1. Diddy ($475 million)
    2. Jay-Z ($450 million)
    3. Dr. Dre ($125 million)
    4. 50 Cent ($100 million)
    5. Birdman ($100 million)

The f*cking Diddler.  Still on top.
