So forbes dropped the top 5 richests dudes in hip hop list.....

[36 ounces]

Forbes has announced the five wealthiest Hip Hop artists of 2012. The publication names Sean "Diddy" Combs as the richest of this exclusive group, which also includes Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Bryan "Birdman" Williams and Dr. Dre. Ranking in with a net worth of $550 million, Diddy's investments in Ciroc vodka, his Sean John and Enyce clothing lines, his record label Bad Boy and several startups, seem more than profitable. In addition, his cable channel Revolt could make him a billionaire in 2013.

On spot number two resides Jay-Z with $460 million due to the selling of his stake in Rocawear clothing for $204 million in 2007. His business ventures encompass stakes in the New Jersey Nets, the 40/40 Club chain, his ad firm Translation and more. Mr. Carter is followed by Dr. Dre with $270 million because of his investment in Beats Electronics. Birdman comes in at No. 4 with a sum of $125 million 50 Cent rounds out the list with $110 million.

[israel5ekla]

Diddy got stupid, I dont give an $#! money.

 

[Shanegerous]

That's their net worth though right? Not how much the accumulated this year

 

[ripyzyz]

I guess dudes really underestimated diddy ciroc $...at least I did.  Had no idea it was that sweet

 

[uhavenosole]

Out of the 5 guys listed which one of them do you think will say they make way more than what forbes has listed

 

[nocomment6]

One could maintain a "decent" lifestyle from returns alone...

They made good choices, Birdman is probably balling the hardest. His collection of cars, jewels etc is stunning.

[mr marcus]

diddy gets damn near half of ciroc profit...he's an actual partner and not just an endorser....something like that

Hip-Hop Checks are still coming in...

 

[young handsome]

Those numbers on 50 Cent are inaccurate...
He got a 100 mill off Vitamin Water ALONE....
GRODT... The Massacre...
G-Unit...
There was a point in time where anything he touched, it turned into gold...

 

[kingtre]

i hate when forbes does this 

weeks of convos and references to something we cant prove or even understand...the way they come up with these numbers is hardly a science

but yes diddy getting that REAL liquor paper - and there's no way that's 50s net worth...unless he put about 300 milly in tony yayos name in the last year or 2

Net worth is a tough concept for you isnt it?

 

[rolaholic]

I'd like to see the list of largest wealth accumulated through their actual music. Jay would probably top it,that deal with Live nation was worth $150 mil

Sizzup boys, a quarter billion.

 

[kingtre]

^ might have had the potential to be a quarter billion dollar brand....maybe not- ciroc is penetrating the market crazy though and diddy def got his paper gangster on - hes not walking away with little endorsement checks while the corporate boys cash the big joints


gotta admire the hustle

 

[Hahahaha]

Diddy is set, still making music and movie money. He milked that Dirty Money group and them chicks probably got robbed by him. He's banking off Ross and French too. He's got like 7 kids now, what a mistake that is.
