Dangote can still employ Jay Z and pay him daily, weekly or monthly.
When Dangote makes that kind of money from hustling in the streets, without any govt support then you may have a point

Wow.

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.

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.
A zillion likes for this post,Well detailed.

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
Same with Dre, JayZ and P. Diddy.
They got rich via business too. So let's shun that.

For now, Flamini, an ex footballer is richer than the big three of Hip Hop music industry.
