Forbes Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists Of 2015 List

Forbes has released its list of wealthiest artists of 2015, every is guessing its Dr Dre after his headphone sale of $3 Billion but after taxes and his 25% cut Dre only netted $700 million putting him second on the list behind Diddy bringing in $725 Million. Check out the full list below!

  Forbes is back with their annual report on which hip-hop artists are worth the most amount of money, and while the top five really won’t surprise you, the number one spot might. Taking the spot from Dr. Dre, Diddy is now considered the wealthiest artist in hip-hop, with his value reaching a total of $735 million, with a large amount of that value coming from his investments in a wide range of companies from Ciroc to Revolt.
With Diddy at number one, Dre now occupies the second spot on the list, with Jay Z, 50 Cent, and Birdman rounding out the top five. Even with the recent criticisms of Jay’s new venture Tidal, Forbes still projects that the company could be an increasingly valuable property for Jay going forward. While Birdman was still able to secure a spot on the list, the report points out that his number did slip due to the uncertainty surrounding Cash Money Records and the situation with Lil Wayne.
