In a list compiled by Sky Range using data from Forbes, the website has listed the amounts various musicians made per second in 2014.
Thanks to the Beats Electronics deal with Apple, which was announced in May of last year, Dr. Dre towered over the other musicians featured on the “Highest Paid Music Stars In 2014” list. According to Sky Range, the former N.W.A. lyricist made approximately $20 per second in 2014.
Other artists featured at the top of the list include Taylor Swift ($2.03 per second), Justin Bieber ($2.54 per second), Beyonce ($3.65 per second), and Rihanna ($1.52 per second).
In addition to Dre, other Hip Hop artists to make it onto Sky Range’s list include Jay Z ($1.90 per second), Diddy ($1.90 per second), and Drake ($1.05 per second).
Last year, Dr. Dre topped a number of Forbes’ lists including their “Hip Hop Cash Kings 2014” and “World’s Highest-Paid Musicians” lists.
According to Forbes’ “World’s Highest-Paid Musicians” list, Dre brought in $620 million in 2014 (before taxes).
Although the Compton, California rapper-turned-businessman was the highest-paid musician last year, Dre has kicked off 2015 at the center of a lawsuit filed by Monster against Beats By Dre.
According to Monster CEO Noel Lee, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine “committed fraud in pirating the headphones away from Lee and Monster” with their Beats By Dre headphones.

So Drake earned $33,112,800.00 for 2014??
Who taught you math, bro?
Gonna help you out, lil ugly buddy.
$1.05*60(seconds in a minute)*60(minutes in an hour)*24(hours in a day)*365(days in a year)
Correct
Interesting how the hater tried to correct someone that already had the right answer lol. $33 million dollars is the correct answer. Hater put the formula up and realized that the sum was righ, but had already finished typing the hate and couldn’t stop lol.
This is why i dont biy albums unless its worth it and heartfelt and certified classic, these ppl r too rich alrdy for me to buy their shiyty music and listen to all the chains n cars they brag about buying w out $$.
If ur not kendrock eminem nas wu types u get no support
Dr. Dre is referred to as the “former N.W.A LYRICIST”. I did not know that he wrote on them records. Thanks for informing me Danielle.
Can someone explain how to do the math on this thing? This can’t be right.
[Total Earnings in 2014] / [365days * 24hours * 60minutes * 60seconds] = [620,000,000 / 31,536,000] = $19.66 ~ $20.00 / second.
Go Dre on top like you suppose to be, Love
Also let the lawsuit role off you, it’s just like people to see a good thing and know it’s doing so well and then hate or try and get back at you.
Just remember DRE and you’ll be fine! Love
From “The $20 Sack Pyramid” to $20 a second??? Now that’s a come up right there.
