Puff Daddy & Dr. Dre Top Forbes’ “Hip Hop’s Wealthiest Artists 2015” List

    If you were every wondering about Puff Daddy’s net worth, Forbes has unveiled this year’s “Forbes Five,” an annual ranking consisting of Hip-Hop’s wealthiest artists.

    Each Hip Hop mogul on the list owns assets in a variety of industries.

    Puff Daddy, who topped the “Forbes Five” for the second-year-in-a-row, owns a media entity (Revolt), has a deal with Diageo’s Ciroc and recently launched the fitness water Aquahydrate. His net worth is listed at $725 million by the financial publication.

    Dr. Dre ranked second on the 2015 list, despite his mammoth paycheck from the sale of Beats. Dre’s net worth is reportedly $700 million.

    Forbes 2015 list included the same five moguls as the 2014 list.

    Jay Z held onto the third spot this year, coming in with a net worth of $550 million, largely due to performances and his Roc Nation endeavors.

    50 Cent moves up to the four spot this year, with a net worth of $155 million. Fif’s deals with Frigo underwear, Effen Vodka and his SMS audio company kept him on the list.

    Cash Money Records CEO Birdman‘s net worth is at $150 million – $10 million less than his value on last year’s “Forbes Five” where he finished ahead of 50 Cent. Birdman’s ongoing feud with Lil Wayne and rumors of his departure hurt the mogul’s finances, Forbes said.

    The “Forbes Five” incorporates artist’s past earnings, current holdings, financial documents and analysis from attorneys, managers, or other industry players. Some of the moguls themselves contribute to the calculations.

    Check out the 2015 “Forbes Five” below:

    1. Puff Daddy – net worth: $725M
    2. Dr. Dre – net worth: $700M
    3. Jay Z – net worth: $550M
    4. 50 Cent – net worth: $155M
    5. Birdman – net worth: $150M

      1. No hate on made Im from by Brooklyn to say BUT made is a great lyrical artist but his beats are not original who takes your father’s old album and sample every beat so they don’t have to pay royalties and all that other s*** Js that’s why made is not up here scared money makes no money

      1. Yes I miss the 90’s when Dre only had a couple of millions, but produced a classic album almost every 2 years. Nowadays he has like 100 times as much $$$, but no inspriration to produce anything dope at all.

      1. It’s not Nas YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT, THERE IS ONE BIG NAME PEOPLE A SAYING HE’S THE BEST RAPPER BUT HE AIN’T MAKING NO MONEY HIS NAME IS ‘EMINEM’

      2. why are you hating on nas? he makes 600,000 a year from def jam alone. that’s the problem with our community, we always wanna hate when the next person gets ahead. stop thinking someone owes you something.

    2. awww shit, i thought 50 was broke and losing money? and he been in the game half as long as all dem!

    3. diddy beats? he gets in on everything he can dont he? everybody is on the “beats headphones” dick though…just think they stole that whole “beats by XXX” from Monster Cables…thievin’bastards.

    4. The only accurate one was Dr. Dre. The rest are just derived from some nerd from Forbes guessing off of hear say.
