years, our list of hip-hop’s wealthiest artists has been
composed of the same five figures—Birdman, Diddy, Dr.
Dre, Jay Z and 50 Cent. But the latter spent his $100 million
Vitaminwater windfall faster than we thought, and last
summer’s bankruptcy filing knocked him off the list. Enter
Drake—flush with cash from touring, music and deals with
the likes of Nike NKE -0.12%, Sprite and Apple—at No. 5,
with a net worth of $60 million.
“That’s pretty much my objective every year,” Drake once
said of having his financial achievements acknowledged by
FORBES. “Other than making good music.”
Still, it could take decades for Drake to ascend to the
heights occupied by this year’s king: Diddy, who boasts a
staggering fortune of $750 million, up slightly from last
year.
See the top five below…
Diddy – $750million
Dr. Dre – $710million
Jay Z – $610million
Birdman – $110million
Drake – $60million
