Forbes has released it’s rich list in the entertainment segment. According to Forbes, these are the richest musicians in 2015. Despite selling Beats to Apple for $3 billion last year, Dr. Dre still isn’t the richest man in rap–that honor goes to Diddy.
Read on to see the full list.
1. Diddy ($735 million) Though Mr. Combs hasn’t yet had a Beats-level exit, he might soon, courtesy of huge stakes in TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate and tequila DeLeon.
2. Dr. Dre ($700 million) His Beats sale got him the largest single-year payday of any musician in history—and a nine-figure tax bill that kept him from the top of the list.
3. Jay Z ($550 million) His diversified portfolio continues to grow thanks to assets such as entertainment company Roc Nation and Armand de Brignac champagne.
4. 50 Cent ($155 million) After scoring $100 million on the sale of Vitaminwater in 2007, 50 hopes to repeat the feat with stakes in new ventures including SMS headphones, Effen vodka and Frigo underwear.
5. Birdman ($150 million) His slight dip this year (down from $160 million and the No. 4 slot in 2014) mirrors the value of his label Cash Money, which has been dogged by rumors of the departure of big acts including superstar Lil Wayne.
