http://blogs.mochacity.com/blog-entry/315/jay-z-is-2007-s-richest-rapper-/

But I believe diddy still has more assets that both of them because jay-z got where he is by selling his companies while diddy still has all his companies intact. Fiddy's wealth is so impressive within so short a period
Re: Who Is The World's Known Richest Rapper? by thegame(m): 7:16pm On Jun 10, 2007
Diddy is still the richest and don't even put 50's name as the richest.Is he the only one to ever buy a company shares?That guy would never beat jigga and diddy

WHat is wrong with you and Po Deep? You mean cos jigga sold rocawear for 204 mil cash makes him the richest. I don't think you know that being the richest is not about how much you have in your account but how much is generated into your account. What if diddy sells his Sean John which i wouldn't want him to do. YOu think sean john is worth less than 500 mil?If you think so, better rethink. Sean John clothing line is worth more than 500 mil.
DIDDY IS STILL THE RICHEST EVEN IF JIGGA SELLS ROCAFELLA AS A WHOLE. ANd don't forget he betrayed the other 2 owners of rocawear by selling rocawear. Hope you know this? cheesy

Thats my point too but the people that do the rankings probably do it by what is in your account or so which makes jay-z the richest and diddy third. If diddy starts selling his companies, which I too hope he doesn't, he would blow all of 'em out of the water. Even just his Sean John cologne has been generating million per month for both Sean John and Estee Lauder (which has been one of their best-selling fragrances ever). So Sean John as a whole is definitely worth a lot

The former drug dealer presides over the expansive G-Unit empire, which includes a record label (Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep), apparel, ringtones, videogames and even a line of G-Unit street fiction books. The chiseled rapper also owns a small stake in VitaminWater; in June, Coca-Cola announced it would buy the brand for $4.1 billion. (His estimated $100 million take will be counted toward next year's Celebrity 100 list, following official consummation of the deal.) Recently listed his 50-room Connecticut manse, appraised at $20 million, on the market. He bought it for $4 million in 2003.

While most of us pine for retirement, the native New Yorker couldn't stand the view from the sidelines following his 2003 farewell Black Album. Despite a busy schedule as chief of Def Jam, his comeback album, Kingdom Come, debuted at the top of Billboard's pop and rap charts. Owns a small stake in the New Jersey Nets, plus two locations of his 40/40 clubhouse. In March, he sold his Rocawear apparel label to Iconix for $204 million. Did we mention Beyonce?

Hip-hop's dapper don is the brains behind Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment, which includes the Warner-backed Bad Boy Records, Sean John clothing line and Unforgivable cologne label. Last year he released Press Play, his first album in four years, which debuted at the top of Billboard's pop and rap charts. Executive producer of Taquita & Kaui, Making the Band, and Run's House, all on MTV; owns New York and Atlanta location of his Justin's restaurants. By year's end, Diddy's empire grew yet again when his longtime girlfriend Kim Porter gave birth to twin girls.

ROCAFELLA YALL
Number 1,
he grossed 38 million from what business?All of a particular one?
Also, Point of correction, BAby has a more than quarter of jigga's money. For God's sake, that guy is Cash Money CEO.HE is also rich

Vroom on a yamaha, chromed out eleven hundred,
what we doing getting money
what they doing, hating on us but they never cross
cash money still still a company and b i t c h i'm the boss
and i be stunting like my daddy

Number2,
The mansion you said he bought for 4 million was bought for like 5 mil or so and he refurbished it with 6 mil. so what do you think?he shd sell it for 7 mil?NO. I wouldn't do that. He added nnsense to his house. he added a strip club,helipad, senseless pools and so on and the designers thought that was a great money maker for them

Number3,
What do u think money is?Paper that grows on tree?WHy will coca cola buy vitamin water for 4 billion? That will even make the guy richer than oprah winfrey and b.e.t owner. Boy, be sure before you post please. Thank yo. Diddy is still the richest. He generates money geniously and doesn't buy senseless hummers and lamborghinis

I thought this was stated clearly. coca cola paid 4 billion for the company and 400mil of that is going to 50, if everything
works out.

Jay-z doesnt really have $360 million or diddy have that much.They added the value of Roc-a-fella and other enterprises they have although Bad Boy value was not added to diddy wealth(with Bad Boy he'll be $800 million).
