Dr Dre
Creating a company and later selling it because it made you million of dollars is the biggest thing that celebrities do right now.
The rapper Dr Dre is one of those celebs who helped co-found a company, gave it its name, left the music industry to do its advertising for the product and then sell it.
This is the case of the headphone company he started with Jimmy Iovine, which was later sold to Apple.
The tech giant decided to buy the rapper’s company and offered the two the whopping sum of $3 billion dollars.
Being the biggest payday in the history of music this single act of giving your company to someone else, made Dre richer than ever, with $620 million before tax, richer.
