1.Dr. Dre: $620 million
And the winner, the highest paid hip hop artist is no other than Dr. Dre.
Net worth: $720 million
I guess you all know Dr. Dre’s big stunt with Apple, right? If you don’t, I am telling you. Apple spent $3 billion to purchase Beats, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s company.
The rapper won $620 million in the past year, and this major deal made him the richest rapper in the world, and the first to be a billionaire. In theory at least, because the tax bill makes this a little more difficult.
They are the highest paid hip hop singers in the world!
