Forbes just released their World’s Highest-Paid Celebrities list and a few rappers have sneaked their way onto it.
After topping Forbes’ list of Hip-Hop’s 5 Wealthiest Artists Of 2015, Diddy also comes out on top here amongst the rappers with $60 million to his name. Not bad at all.
Shortly after with $54 million is Jay Z who beats his wife Beyoncé by just $1.5 million. I can feel a household dispute coming, ha!
The next rapper is Drake who comes in with an impressive $39.5 million with deals like Sprite and Nike backing him.
Surprisingly, Dr. Dre is next on the list (between the rappers) with $33 million – of course, still amazing considering the lack of music we receive from him.
Pharrell is just $1 million behind Dre with $32 million.
Eminem comes in last of the Hip-Hop group with $32 million.
Recap:
#21 – Diddy – $60,000,000
#28 – Jay Z – $56,000,000
#29 – Beyoncé – $54,500,000
#54 – Drake – $39,500,000
#73 – Dr. Dre – $33,000,000
#78 – Pharrell – $32,000,000
#82 – Emiem – $31,000,000
What might surprise some the most is that 50 Cent, Kanye West, Birdman and Lil Wayne fail to make appearances anywhere on the list.
