Diddy Beats Dr. Dre As Hip-Hop’s ‘Wealthiest’ Artist

Forbes released its annual Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest list this week, and despite Dr. Dre’smuch-publicized billion dollar sale of Beats headphones to Apple, the super-producer failed to maintain the magazine’s number one spot as the genre’s most prosperous artist.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is once again the reigning cash king thanks to a well-rounded business portfolio — including Ciroc vodka, Sean John apparel and Revolt television, which has netted him $735 million. The business mogul also held the no. 1 spot on the Forbes list in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
