The Bad Boy Records founder is closest to becoming a billionaire leading the pack with a net worth of $550 million according to Forbes.
Lately, he’s been channeling more energy towards Diageo-backed Ciroc vodka, much to the benefit of his bank account: he receives double-digit millions annually as a share of profits. Sales of the spirit spiked 122% last year in the wake of strong demand for new flavor Ciroc Peach; he is entitled to a nine-figure chunk of cash if the brand is ever sold.
The Entrepreneurial musician could reach new financial heights next year with the launch of his own cable channel, Revolt.Next up is Jay-Z at $460 million. Unlike his fellow Forbes Five members, Jay-Z still churns out music and goes on tour.
The rest of the top five includes Dr. Dre** ($270 million), Birdman** ($125 million) and 50 Cent** ($110 million). Dr. Dre's worth has doubled in the last year thanks to the sale of Beats Electronics, the producers of the popular Beats by Dre headphones line. HTC bought 51% of the company in August for $300 million, with the recent Coachella headliner reportedly taking home $85 million after taxes.
