Forbes has released their list of hip-hop’s 10 wealthiest artists, and the actual front-runner might not be the first to come to mind!
P. Diddy sits atop the list, and can you even remember the last track he released? Though he rarely performs these days, Diddy captures his latest Cash Kings crown thanks to the fruits of a reputation forged in music: TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate and Ciroc vodka, the last of which, according to http://alkalinewaterfilterexperts.com/, brings in the bulk of his bucks. He’s also said to be readying new album No Way Out 2.
Here are the top 10, including how much money they made between June of 2014 and June of this year:
- P. Diddy, $60 million
- Jay Z, $56M
- Drake, $39.5M
- Dr. Dre, $33M
- Pharrell, $32M
- Eminem, $31M
- Kanye West, $22M
- Wiz Khalifa, $21.5M
