This is for the “Fooballers are richer than musicians” Nigerian crowd who think the world starts and ends with football. Lol

American rapper, Jay Z has displaced Sean Diddy Combs as the wealthiest Hip-hop artist on Forbes 2018 edition.

Jay Z topped the list as he emerged with an estimated net worth of $900 million.

His earnings took out Diddy from the number 1 spot, a title he previously held for seven consecutive years.

The rapper improved on his net worth from $810 million to $900 million over the past years, seizing hip-hop’s cash crown for the first time since Forbes started counting back in 2011.

Diddy is now placed at the number 2 with estimated net worth at $825 million, while Dr. Dre keeps his number 3 spot after his net worth increased from $740 million to $770 million.

Fellow rappers, Eminem and Drake emerged 4th and 5th position with net worth estimated at $100 million respectively.

hope op knows net worth is very different from liquid wealth this one u are calling footballers grin
btw everybody listens to music but not everybody watches football so even with all the oil money awash in football its gonna lag behind music cuz of that

Wow.

This is what grammarians call "Stupendous"

But methinks Eminem and Drake shouldn't have been counted if they came to the table with 100million while top 3 are counting 900 and 700.

E get as e be joor.

You are discounting Eminem and Drake, you, how much do you and your entire family have?

I'm so proud of these three legends... Puffy, Hov, and Dre. Any 80s child who grew up on hip hop throughout the mid to late nineties and early 2000s would know that no one deserves this kind of extreme success more than three of them. Three of them would eventually become Forbes rated billionaires. Most likely Dre first (next year).

Dude got super rich from business sense. He invested heavily early enough on a fledging product that is becoming mainstream and could be the major fuel in some decades' time. He should be worshiping his final advisers who told him to invest in that biofuel product

I was born in the early 90s but Dr Dre "Chronic" album is one of the best album of all time.

Nothing but a G thang baby. One of the first albums I had to have personally as a budding teenager, with its iconic 'blunt' album art.

Dre's wealth is the luckiest of all three, but if ever there was someone that deserved the luck he got, it has to be Dre.

There he was, after semi-retirement, a regular barely rich rap legend (about $30-$40m net worth) , mulling his next step in life. Like the rest of them rappers, he was thinking about starting a sneakers line.

One fateful day sometime in the mid 2000s, he was walking along a beach with his old oyinbo friend (the legendary music exec Jimmy Iovine), when he casually voiced out his plans about the proposed sneakers business. "You know what Dre", Jimmy impulsively interjected, "forget sneakers; why not sell speakers?".... That's the life changing sentence that transformed Dr Dre's existence forever and catapulted him to this financial level. Jimmy's advice made sense because, after all, Dre was best known for his deft production skills; for his mad beats.

Along with Jimmy, Dre started the Beats by Dre headphones business. Things moved along slowly but nicely, until the almighty Apple Inc bought Beats in 2014, and the rest is history.

Next year Jimmy and Dre's holdings in Apple will vest and increase in value by a projected $700m extra. That's what's most likely to make Dre the first hip hop billionaire ahead of Puffy and Jay.
