Dr. Dre is the only Hip Hop artist to make this year’s Highest-Paid Celebrities list, according to Forbes (via HHNM).
With Oprah Winfrey coming in at number one, the West Coast veteran comes in fifth on the list with a staggering $110 million in earnings. Dre netted that amount when handset maker HTC paid $300 million for a 51 percent stake in his Beats by Dr. Dre company last August. He also made money from music and royalties, but that “pales” in comparison to the money made from his Beats deal.
Other celebs on the list include producer Jerry Bruckheimer at number four ($115 million), Steven spielberg at number three ($130 million) and Michael Bay ($160 million).

you’re weird
guess it really is Dre Day…smh
loooool
loooool
#DreDay
And that’s why Detox ain’t gonna happen.
Detox doesn’t have to happen. If Dre releases it, it will be purely for the sake of the fans. Dre doesn’t need to do anything for the rest of his life.
Erm… Okay.
detox won’t happen coz it will fuck up his lecagcy – dude has 2 classics… why fuck it it up?
Congrats.
you should listen to this website through my headphones
rotflmao
rotflmao
haha you a foo my nig
Where’s 50? lol I doubt he even has a million left. I bet you by the time he turns 40 he’ll be broke.
you cant read “Celebrities list” not rappers which the fat fuck ross couldnt make at all 250mil ross 25 mil banks 15 mil who the boss? haha
You’re an idiot if you think 50 doesn’t have cake left. You fail to remember that dude recently made that deal with Vitamin Water! He’s a very smart business man. Not making the Forbes list doesn’t mean he ain’t got stacks you jackass!
I’m not a 50 fan….but you’re crazy if you think he doesn’t have loot.
Even Rick Ross doesn’t think he’s rich…
The Bawse is just a persona. Same as Black Thought doing MMJB and shit.
lol 50 caught a 100 mil after taxes the tax man aint come after Dre yet on that cheese bro
Okay Jay-Z needs to stop talking about money now
Jay -z has about 500mil dummy. thats still 200 mil more than Dr and thats in less time
How do you know ttat Jay-Z has 500 mil? LMAO fucking idiot.
Plus this 100 mil Dre got is this year. Not total earning.
this has already been factored in to the overall list – “hiphop cash kings”
Diddy 450mil
Jay 400mil
Dre 200 mil
Diddy is the still richest man in hip-hop and Jay have more than Dre
and it is not only about this year? I think it is
Why do you bitches give a shit? None of us are seeing any of that green.
because the article is about earnings
$$$$$$$$$$$$
HP G-shock Ferrari beat by dre Aftermath Eminem…
Does that mean he won 110 million this year or this is his total money?
the annually means yearly….
won? he earned it he didnt hit the lotto ahhahah
he didnt earn shit he basically did win the lotto with those piece of shit overpriced headphones
Well why dont you just get an idea, invest your hard earned money, put together a team of people, execute your plan, overcome obstacles, sell you idea to 1/3 of the house holds in America and around the world to where your company is worth 600 million dollars. Sell 50% of it and split the profit with your partner witch is 110 mil. Hell any ole body can win that! He EARNED THAT you win the lottery.
Ok so the illumknato broke him off nicely. Who gives a fuck. They want us to be all impressed withthis bullshit. I kno faggot dre been suckin dick to get these beats hss gay
jealousy is a female trait
You a hoe ass nigga!

i am a female
@ anon If you are a female then you a hating ass broke bitch! As a matter of fact you would be sucking dres dick if you seen him in person to get out of your broke ass situation that you’ll be back in a year later after you spent all the money. Like damn I wish I had dre’s dick to suck! Get out of here hoe!

As a fan it annoys me, as a man with common sense, I understand, lol
More motivation. Congrats Dre.
“He also made money from music and royalties, but that “pales” in comparison to the money made from his Beats deal.”
The reason why we won’t see DETOX ever.
And the same applies to a dope beat from him. The label “Produced by Dr. Dre” is just a brand, the real work behind it is _exclusively_ done by co-prods for years. And Kanye goes for the same direction …
Just like Microsoft, Apple, JP Morgan, Phillip Morris, McDonald’s. All big corporations still going off of “co-prods”. Stop being such an asshole and leave if you hate Blacks so bad.
What did you say about Detox? Oh never mind…
Dre should bring in Ant Banks to help finish detox. You youngsters don’t know about true west coast legends.
BIG THANGS BABY!!!
the title should be more proof Detox is never coming.
he put in so much time into the music its good to see something like this.I remeber having the 1st nwa tape I never thought Dre would be this far but its dope that he is.
Funny how you don’t hear Dre making noise about this $110 million deal he got but if it was 50cent, trust me we wouldn’t hear the last of it. He got $100 million from the coca cola deal long time ago and he made so much noise about it that you would even think he was the richest rapper ever… SMH
hahaha true and dont forget birdman
If 50 made that he would be on Instagram pretending to eat it.
Jimmy is surely pimpin this fool. You guys made $300 million and he gave you only $110 million? Hahaha…
Maybe they both got $110 million and paid the rest to lawyers etc… Hmmm
there is a thing called Tax
100 million must be the going rate for your soul!!!
the guy has’nt made any music forever, he should call himsef Andre young.
cool, grandpa dre can use that crappy headphone money to buy more steroids so he can continue to look young. xp
And you can use your mothers internet provider to continue to talk shit bout him while he continues to give less then a fuck whether you live or die
FATALITY
FATALITY
POINT BLANK RANGE
Too bad they’re all still slaves. {{-_-}}
I will be a slave all day making $110 million, your retarded ass will try to be self employed and end up with -0.11111111
i can see the jealousy in you and calling them slaves doesn’t hurt since you are the one having emotions about the money they are getting whiles you sit behind your computer insulting them they are still making money whiles you are sitting on your fat ass behind your computer in your parents basement
So ur soul is worthless to u then u dumb fuk
the only think i hate is if he have so much cash why, please tell me why he gives rick “fat officer” ross a 100k rolex and kids in africa still have to die??? but even that fat mofucker has enough money!!! 100k can safe so much lifes!
he gave it to Ross because HE DOESN’T NEED OR WANT IT…people like Dre get that for FREE…YOU put value on it….Ross gave his newest artist a Rolex…who here knows if it’s the SAME ONE?
A hundred thousand does NOTHING in AFRICA…taxes, materials, and workers eat that money up and 10-20 families get RATIONS…STFU

funny how this gay monkey slave has all this money and talent and still lives in fear. jimmy iovine has this juice monkey by the balls and dre is scared to leave the house. this gay nigga dre made 100 mil last year and cant hook his fans up with a promised album cuz hes scared of flopping. dre is the biggest pussy in the history of rap. ran away from eazy-e and suge knight and now hes scared of little jimmy iovine. pussy. fuck dre.
you are really a moron for getting butt hurt about the money he is making and calling him a slave and a monkey doesn’t hurt him!

The Internet is full of bottom feeders man, dont act surprised
Here’s the basic rules of the internet:
Failure = Good
Success = Bad
yall are fucking loser, shit is hard to read. bottom of the food chain ass niggas.
congratulations dre
Dre, now what’s the fucking excuse of you not helping Nate Dogg’s family out huh??? You got so much money and yet can’t even help the nigga who helped you throughout your career?
That’s just fucked up ANDRE YOUNG!
Fuck you Dre! Time for headphones but not to make music.
Dre has to many rich white friends and doesnt care about music. I mean do you really thing that this dude knows what is hot on the streets?
I wouldn’t care about music If I were him either, we all know everybody just gonna download it for free and nitpick and criticize it to death anyway.
Never mind this shit where is detox you lying bastard
HUSH PEON
“Dre has to many rich white friends and doesnt care about music”
Who cares what skin color they’re. Dre is making millions without having to break a sweat. Yeah, people were expecting Detox, but who gives a shit if it never comes out? It probably would have sucked anyway.
why even post if your not waitin on some music, yes rich they are.
Damn that girl is hot!
